Craft Library: Card Board Earrings



	Cardboard Earrings Join our support group

	The kids will enjoy making these earrings for themselves or as gifts. Be creative with the designs and you'll be sure to have a true piece artwork! It's also a great gift for Mom or for that favorite teacher!! What you need: Cardboard Colored paper Scissors Glue Colored pens Markers Glitter What you do: Draw your designs onto cardboard and cut them out. Cut a "V" in the center of each shape. This is what you use to attach the earring to your ear. The "V" should spring back in place if you use cardboard. Cut matching shapes out of colored paper to cover the cardboard earrings. Glue to one side of the cardboard and decorate. Experiment with different designs. You can make the earrings as simple or as outrageous as you like. Birds, animals, flowers, shapes- it's up to you! Sunflower Seed Necklace This week's Craft of the Week is sunflower seed necklaces. I love sunflowers and grow them every summer. They are easy to grow and require very little care- just plenty of sun ! They are a wonderful introduction to gardening for any preschooler. After the flowers have bloomed, your youngest can still have a wonderful remembrance of her sunflowers with this necklace. It is a terrific way to use the seeds from sunflowers and inspire the gardener in every child.
