Flowers for birthday: Fun Foam Flower Straws, kids craft ideas

1. Choose two or three flowers in different sizes for each straw.
2. Punch a hole in the middle of each flower.  If the hole punch doesn't reach the center of the flower, fold the flower in half and slip the center into the hole punch but only half way.  Squeeze to make your hole.  When you open the flower back up, it will have a whole hole.
3. Slide the flower shapes onto the straw so that the smallest at the top of the straw and the largest flowers are at the bottom.

Hint:  If using straws that bend, slide the flowers up from the bottom of the straw and stop just before the bend.

Crafts for summer: weaving butterfly tutorial, kids craft ideas

Crafts for summer: weaving butterfly tutorial, kids craft ideas

	You can use any round flower loom to weave the butterflies.  I like to use Hana-Ami shadow clover. looms with twelve spokes will also work, but you'll have to experiment to see what you want. If you use a shade with 24 spokes,  your wind shadow  , leaving the empty three-spoke in the top and bottom.  For the 12 said the loom, I would try to leave an empty saying.
	Subject needle with yarn you want to weave with. You will need to cut the yarn long enough to ensure the center and weave a large wing. Start by weaving a single thread, under the same (and so on), the opposite is true.  Write 4 "/ 10cm tail to weave in the beginning later.
	When you went all the way around again, the next round is going to weave a single thread in one, and so on all around.  You'll be weaving a theme that you went  for  the last time.
	Pull the yarn tight enough, as you weave.  This will ensure that the center of your butterfly and stop it from losing its shape when you remove it from the shadows.
	At the bottom of the machine to move one or two loops with a spoken form of the lower wings.  If you use a 12 spoke shadow does not worry about moving them, not just weave them yet:)
	Weave the upper wing, is going under a stream over a whole. Repeat these steps for each row of weaving. Weave as many lines as you want, then squash in a couple to fill the loop stream, when you take the butterfly from the loom. Cut the thread, leaving a 4 "/ 10cm to darn in later
	Weave the other wings in the same way.
	When you have finished weaving, make a butterfly with a loom
	and gently insert the refill line weaving loops, which remained on the pegs. Secure loose ends of yarn threads on their hinges at the back of the weaving.
	When you are finished you will have the basic shape of a butterfly.  You can experiment with stripes (just leave a few inches at the end of each color, and darn it later), or variegated yarn with short wavelengths of each color.
	Make all the parts you want for your scene.  See  my article on the use of colors loomed embroidery  ideas, and  my article about embroidery on the flowers  .
	To embroider your body butterfly and attach it to the background at the same time, make one big stitch up the center
	Then bring your yarn from the right side, slightly higher than in the upper part of the center stitch.
	Subject yarn under center stitch
	and take the yarn to the back on the left side. Protect your thread on the wrong side F of your work. Now you have a ready-made butterfly firmly attached to your background fabric. Repeat these steps for your other butterflies.  You can experiment by changing the length of the body stitch length of the antenna, adding sequins or beads to the tips of antennae or embroider more information on the wings.
