Hello and happy spring to everyone! We have been busy getting ready for spring break, and this week we will be attending some events for the kids. Over the weekend, we made a few simple crafts that were so much fun and easy to create.
Below, you will find a list of the materials needed and the steps to create this simple craft. Enjoy reading!
Materials needed
Paper plates (I purchased these from Dollar Tree)
String- Any will do. I used some leftover gift bag string
Scissors
Jewels/Gems (I found this bag of butterflies at Dollar Tree)
Clear tape
Hole puncher (I used my flower punch out)
Creating your Spring hanging decoration
This craft is pretty much hands-on for children. If your child is not yet using scissors, you can help with this first part.
Using scissors cut out the middle of the paper plate.
Once you do this step, take your clear tape and apply it, covering the middle area of the plate. You will want the sticky side of your tape to face up.
Next, take your jewels, and let your child place the jewels where they would like on the sticky side of the tape.
Once your child is finished you can now cover the jewels with a layer of tape. This will secure everything.
The last step is just using your punch out, and making a hole on the top. Once you have done this, just add your string. You are all done!
Kids, be sure to hang your decorations so everyone can see your beautiful creation!
If you have some leftover gems, scroll down and check out a bonus craft you can create.
Bonus Craft
You'll need some popsicle sticks, hot glue (parents should help with this part), paint, and your gems.
We glued two popsicle sticks together, painted them, and added our gems. And there you have it, simple Spring bookmarks!
