Countdown until our anniversary

Homeschooling Adventures at the Maxwell's Friday, July 25, 2008 CRAFT CORNER - Shimmering Shapes These are cute and fairly easy window hangings you can make with just a few basic supplies.  Here's what you'll need:   Tissue paper Plastic foodwrap or nonstick foil Pencil White glue Embroidery floss Glitter Scissors     Cut the tissue paper and either plastic foodwrap or nonstick foil a few inches larger than the design you plan to make.  Use a pencil to draw a heart (or flower, diamond, circle, etc.) on the piece of tissue paper.      Lay it on the wrap or foil, then squeeze a line of white glue along the pencil line.     Press a length of thread/floss onto the glue.     At the top of the heart, make a loop with the thread and press the end into the glue.     Brush a thin layer of glue inside the heart, making sure to cover the outline thread.     Then, cut some pieces of thread and press them into the glue, so that they overlap and hang over the edges.     Brush another layer of glue over the top.    Lightly sprinkle glitter over the shape and leave it until the glue has completely dried.     Carefully peel the tissue paper off the foodwrap or foil and cut around the heart.  Make sure you don't cut off the loop by accident.     Now hang it in the window for all to admire! • Post A Comment! • Send to a Friend!

About Me The ramblings of a mother / wife / homeschooler. I love what I do and hope to encourage others to follow their heart and bring their children home to learn. I've seen the village, and I don't want it raising my children.
