It’s Craft Day!

 

The weather today was absolutely beautiful!!  We spent most of the morning outside and gathering materials for our craft projects. Then we played outside and just had a fun day.

First, we painted boxes to make our own decorative workboxes to hold our books and papers.

Paint, brushes, boxes

Phoenix and I decided to go all out and try something else that we hadn’t done before and that was to make a bag out of a t-shirt and duct tape! Sounded really easy and it actually worked!

Here is the youtube video we followed:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ODeTQfAUxI

Here are some of our during photos and the finished bag:

After we fought with making the straps, we realized that we put them on wrong. No big deal because we just have to cut those off and make new ones.  This was a really fun craft.  Now she has a favorite t-shirt that she can keep for a long time.
