Snakes in the desert. Craft for little ones


Snakes In The Desert


I may have been missing Arizona and the desert life when I came up with this craft for my daughter. She seemed to enjoy it and it was a quick craft to do together.

Materials needed:

TP roll

Paper plate

Paint/paint brushes

Scissors

A few rocks

Craft eyes

Glue


I started off by cutting the TP roll.

Then using my scissors I wrapped and pulled the TP roll.

 This causes it to create a spiral shape and curl. This is what you want to do to create the snake's body.

Next, paint each one and allow it to dry. Once it is dry, glue on your craft eyes.

 I took a paper plate and cut out the center and we used brown paint to paint it. After allowing that to dry, we then glued on our snakes.

 I used some leftover TP rolls and made a cactus for our desert.

  Grab a few rocks from outside and set it up so that it looks as though your snakes are in the desert.

You're all done! I hope you enjoyed this craft.

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

The first one shows one of our lovely hummingbirds relaxing on the swing near the feeder. I love watching them from our dining room window. In the second photo, we had another visitor at the feeder, and the sunlight shining through the window that evening was absolutely beautiful. I'd say this week was a nice one. Congratulations  to ou...
