1. a lot of card board boxes all sizes
2. any colored paint….(and a lot of it!)
3. foam of any colors.
4. paper cups
5. a hot glue gun (And be careful I burned myself twice!)
6. permanent markers
7. the link to where I got my idea HERE
LooLedoo.com is a very fun website, and it has loads of crafts. For the detailed instructions you can go to their web site.
So, to start find a box that is as big as you want for your base. And then find another box about two thirds of your base. Once you have the basic design, you can put another box onto the top. Finally, you can add more smaller boxes to make it look however you want it! Now for the foam; you can put squares of foam and then cut the smaller pieces to make buttons and scales!
If you live in China and the only needle holders you can get are plastic, you will find this quite nice! If you’ve got a bunch of felt and you’re bored, you’ll like this! If your mom’s birthday is coming up, and you’re low on cash, this is the thing for you!
You will need:
1.felt
2.scissors
3.needles
4.thread
5.buttons
6.a creative mind
7.a good spirit
8.patience
First chose two colors of felt. Cut them out twice as long as you want, then fold them over so you have four pages.
Sew the "book" together in the middle. That way you can fold it over and not have felt flying everywhere!
You can decorate the front of the book with buttons, felt, and string!
Today I am going to show you some chapters from my book Penny
Chapter one: The bank
It was a cold winter day when our story begins, as a mater a fact it was Christmas Eve. And one little penny lay in the bank
Waiting …waiting… waiting. Then he heard a little girl “hear is one whole dollar I want to keep one cent though”
She said as she opened her purse. Old Ben (the bank keeper) just laughed and said wait one minute. Our little penny
Froze this might be his chance to be free!
clang, the key was inserted creeek the key turned and creeeeek once more the door opened. Pennies mined raced their were 37,000 pennies in this volt would old Ben choose him? Sure enough Old Ben reached in the volt and grabbed……penny! Penny was so happy he was finally free!
As the little girl reached out to receive the penny, penny knew that he was officially free! Then, a small money purse was opened and penny had a knew home. A pink fur trimmed one at that.
For a couple hours penny heard the girl who’s name was Sara talking with her mother. But then Sara walked to a candy shop,” one piece of cent candy please.” She said as she opened her purse. And penny was now in a candy shop.
Chapter two : The Candy store
Penny could smell the fresh pulled taffy from the drawer. He could hear the children debating if they wanted berry candy or chocolate. He loved the smell of the candy shop he was in a drawer with a lot of coins.
Their was even a dollar coin! penny loved the place but he knew sooner or later he would have to leave. The second customer was a fat gentleman and he had one dollar
And was going to use it all! All at once the fat man had chosen an assortment of Jelly beans, chocolate, and taffy! The store keeper reached in his drawer and pulled out a dime “here” he said. And not even a second
Or time was used and the man was gone! The third customer was a little boy who just came to look. The forth was a little girl with long black hair and she had a dog too! “I want 50 jelly beans, two pounds of chewing gum, 10 chocolate bars, and 20 lollypops.” “And I don’t want your filthy change!” She yelled.
“Who is that?” penny asked a dime that’s
Hope smith,” he said she comes every Sunday to buy candy.” ”Does she eat it all by herself?” asked penny. ”Yes! And she wont share!” penny thought for a minute “I’m glad she doesn’t want change or else I might have to go with her!” he said. The last customer was a tall young man “Father!” he cried “I need to buy some of your best heart chocolate I’m going to purpose to Marry
Wilkerson!” He said “hurry I don’t have much time!” “here is 20 $ just give me the change and I’ll be off!” As fast as he could the old man put some chocolate in a box, reached down in his drawer and took out penny. “Here” he said “Go, Go!” and at that the tall man was gone with penny in his pocket and a new adventure began.
