little art project~ what a hoot!

Last week my three girls stayed over at their grandpa's house while I ran an errand with my son, and my dad' wife set up such a neat art project for them to work on while I was gone.  She had found a magazine full of great looking projects and put it in my hand the week before.  I flipped through it, and all I could think of was how I knew there was no way on God's earth I would ever get all the materials, time, or patience to do ANY of those projects.  And they looked so unique and polished; not messy and headed for the trash.  I suggested maybe they could do these when the girls ever came over to their house, and wouldn't you know, the opportunity came up just days later. 

I can't wait to see future projects.  These are things I might put in frames or hang in our school room.  Here are a couple of pictures of the finished products.  I don't have any links or instructions because they came from this magazine she has.

this one has a little feather thing going on... so stylish

 also, they hot-glued sticks to them so that they could put them in vases or something

  1. First, let me say that I am so excited to see you back on! I had taken a little time off too just because everything has been so busy...I know you understand!
    Second, I am teaching at PDO and I LOVE these little activities! I would bet that I could take your picture and adapt it to what I would need. Would it be ok with you if I pin them to my PDO board on Pinterest? I just wanted your permission before I did it!

    1. Of course! Have fun! If I get a hold of the magazine I'll share the materials and instructions with you.
