Pretty Papers Make Cute Crafts

Paper crafts: Fast, easy, pretty! I am under the weather, but I had a little time to make something but not energy for big preparation and clean up. So I thought about using some pages I have been saving from Mary Engelbreit’s 2011 day-to-day calendar. (The kind you tear a page from every day.)   I have been collecting them either because I like the illustration, the message, or I could use it for another project like scrapbooking or making cards. I used these in particular for bookmarks because I am reading or trying to read several books at once.   I couldn’t add “jazz” to the paper part since it goes in the book but I was able to add a little 3D to the part that hangs out.   So to humor you, I will show you the 4 books and the 4 bookmarks and you can guess where they each will go. First one to guess correctly gets a free book mark made by me!         This project is basically cut and glue. Fancy scissors optional but not necessary. ...

First Grade Project Gingerbread House with assistance from the Summercrafter, me! Children should not use hot glue!!   After we covered it with felt, we let the student use fabric glue to finish it off with pompoms and such.
