Hi, Lisa back with you today to share another Helmar Homeschool post, as well as introducing a week of inspiration using Helmar and Want2Scrap! They can all work together for todays post… homeschool, Helmar and Want2Scrap!
Are "Ewe" ready for Easter? Because this week I am sharing a special homeschool post that could easily be recreated for Easter, as well, or any spring activity. I am going to share a very quick and easy way to use Helmar 450 Quick Dry to create a cute little sheep with your children using supplies you probably already have around your home.
To create this cute little sheep you will need the following supplies:
A paper sheep template. This can be free hand cut to any shape you like, or you can use a diecutting machine to cut these. You could also use felt.
Wool Roving or Yarn
A small length of ribbon
A bell
Steps:
First you will need to put some 450 Quick Dry on the "body" of the sheep.
Next, you will wrap the yarn or wool around the template until it is soft and wooly.
Just use a little dab of the 450 to secure the wool.
Next, using another small dab of 450 Quick Dry add the "eye" pearl. These little pearls actually come with a thin layer of adhesive, but with children's crafts I find that with all the playing and exploring, they needed added adhesive to stay put, so 450 is the perfect solution. It drys fast and secure.
We are studying "Warm As Wool" by Scott Russell Sanders so this craft is part of that book study. I will be sharing more about that study, including how to make a covered bride and log cabin replica using craft sticks and more Helmar, so make sure to visit my personal blog at the end of week to learn more.
Happy Crafting!
