  2. Flower Spiral Necklace • Choose the base for your necklace

    (or keychain), embroidery floss, leather, or chain. • Bend and cut a piece of wire to the desired size. • Wrap the wire around a cylinder such as a pencil. • Make a loop at the top of the wire and attach an o-ring to it. • Feed the o-ring through your base. Add a wildflower and you’re done! Keely can help with this project
  3. Cardboard Pigeons For more pigeons by Cheryl Cochran click here.

    Cut, layer, and decorate pieces of cardboard to create your very own trash bird. Keely and Raina can help with this project
  4. Paper Flowers Cut out sloppy circles in decreasing size using

    book paper or colored paper. Decorate using paint, pastels, pens, etc. Watercolor flowers are shown on the right. Add a center using a button or cardboard. Glue together with a glue stick or hot glue. Keely and Raina can help with this project
  5. Felt Frog • Using a felt sheet of your choice,

    draw a squarish circle with two humps on top. Make them big enough to fit eyes. You’ll need two of these pieces to make one frog. • Cut your pieces out! • Attach the pieces together and stuff with polyfill. • Sew using embroidery floss. Cut a piece of thread in a color of your choice. Identify the 6 strings that make up one thread. Split the thread into two by pulling 3 strings away from each other. Feed through a needle and sew. Finish with a knot. • Glue together using hot glue. Apply a thin layer of glue to the very edge of the felt. Go very slow and in small sections. Glue right sides together for the best result - this will shrink the frog so cut accordingly. • Add the Face. Glue on felt, draw, or sew in eyes and a mouth Keely can help with this project
  6. Felt Moth • On felt pieces of your choice, draw

    two triangles with rounded corners, then draw another two triangles that are either slightly longer or thicker than the other set. Draw one thin oval. • Cut your pieces out! • Decorate your moth however you like. The smaller triangles will lay on top of the other set. • Glue together using hot glue or super glue. • Optional: Add antennas using string or wire. Keely can help with this project
  7. Felt Fish • Using a felt piece of your choice,

    draw two thick teardrop shaped ovals. Draw a tail fin shape and two side fins. Leave enough space for the fins to be glued to the body. • Cut your pieces out! • Attach the pieces together and stuff with polyfill. • Sew using embroidery floss. Cut a piece of thread in a color of your choice. Identify the 6 strings that make up one thread. Split the thread into two by pulling 3 strings away from each other. Feed through a needle and sew. Finish with a knot. • Glue together using hot glue. Apply a thin layer of glue to the very edge of the felt. Go very slow and in small sections. Glue right sides together for the best result - this will shrink the fish so cut accordingly. • Decorate and add eyes. Glue on felt, draw, or sew in eyes. Keely can help with this project
