Cut a cup from an egg carton - you want it to be roughly 2cm/¾in. high. The thing is, egg cartons vary a lot - some have large cones and little cups and others have good sized cups and little cones. For the puddings a deeper, rounder cup is best, though using cardboard packaging means sometimes we have to work with what we've got. But if you spot a carton that might be better for puds (or flowers) then hang onto it!

Draw in the other table sides too (ours look like arches), using the first drawing as a guide for the height. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">(See TIP below for some other ideas)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVt-edtAM2n6Nubv65xmj1V-KKQpop0HO7GvSPJuUPU969gDWrxS5UI23w2kc8aAl8-qE0dhF1R02R9l2u82F8lsWj5NSs_CpZEMrjlRfHhG-rFGT1xMCDnN5nF-5pkO_BDx9Znk19ehc/s800/IMG_4408.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVt-edtAM2n6Nubv65xmj1V-KKQpop0HO7GvSPJuUPU969gDWrxS5UI23w2kc8aAl8-qE0dhF1R02R9l2u82F8lsWj5NSs_CpZEMrjlRfHhG-rFGT1xMCDnN5nF-5pkO_BDx9Znk19ehc/s320/IMG_4408.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjUCGTRvbeP2ANhUWOZ_dq-lU0UYJLOxwWOnSLp54bY-ySZgvOHP_3lJ0jW0bYdVd67AsHKNkOGUQDz95ug3R9ev3motM-N2cIxt3hGYxwQMmZ-ScFF-80bAY9JiTnSptndOVJ3hfrE84/s800/IMG_4410.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjUCGTRvbeP2ANhUWOZ_dq-lU0UYJLOxwWOnSLp54bY-ySZgvOHP_3lJ0jW0bYdVd67AsHKNkOGUQDz95ug3R9ev3motM-N2cIxt3hGYxwQMmZ-ScFF-80bAY9JiTnSptndOVJ3hfrE84/s320/IMG_4410.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Push back into shape, after pressing firmly along the four crease lines again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhReKRA0663EIa9_JcNJDCJZLWqFIrwULF0rQuvDUeQj3CaNfk2qOaKRuSIPR5-Vja4WdghtfeMRMM1ZSscllkXZgLPHEYWzYvTWUB1rJS9BmTLrpxqACeEvtDjvxRrQ6lDAGnTkPY6yhw/s800/IMG_4413.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhReKRA0663EIa9_JcNJDCJZLWqFIrwULF0rQuvDUeQj3CaNfk2qOaKRuSIPR5-Vja4WdghtfeMRMM1ZSscllkXZgLPHEYWzYvTWUB1rJS9BmTLrpxqACeEvtDjvxRrQ6lDAGnTkPY6yhw/s320/IMG_4413.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5.

Next make the seat of the chair. You need to bring the front flap towards the back of the seat, and where it meets the back, fold the card. Check a few times until you're happy.

Place the paper on top of the box, lining up the sides, and draw around the arch on the card so it's easy to see. Pierce through the card with nail scissors or something similar (to be done by an adult) and cut around the OUTSIDE of the arch - you want this arch to be bigger than the paper one, so it isn't visible when the box is covered. This means it doesn't matter if the card cutting is a bit rough, because you won't see it.<p></p><p>Paint the inside of the box black and then glue on the paper front, lining up the edges, smoothing as you go, wrapping around the sides and the back. Either use a very thin layer of craft glue or rub glue stick over the box. It's good to use a glue stick when sticking on paper with little ones - it's less messy and easier to get a smoother, less rumply finish.</p><p>For the mantlepiece, just cut a piece of paper the length of the fireplace and about twice the width. Fold it in half lengthways and shorten one of the sides by about a half, cutting straight across. This will be the shorter overhang. Glue the wider side on top of the fireplace. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVO4KdiVILvzZZMhRFy94JXNMQLSGdrtrVzm1cONif90Od7kPUwbHfQYrFr2v9RX3U330o6TDoXMsc4aGNcF4zBAi0QdtpwTlBCxUZGxfkacNmWshePo6MfXPMU8jKFbpIoJVfOMKNZc/s733/fireplace2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="733" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVO4KdiVILvzZZMhRFy94JXNMQLSGdrtrVzm1cONif90Od7kPUwbHfQYrFr2v9RX3U330o6TDoXMsc4aGNcF4zBAi0QdtpwTlBCxUZGxfkacNmWshePo6MfXPMU8jKFbpIoJVfOMKNZc/s320/fireplace2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>3. Glue some small twigs together to make the base of the fire and use tissue paper for the flames. We've cut the tissue paper different sizes, then twisted it at the bottom before gluing to the twigs, but simply scrunching small pieces of tissue paper together works really well too. It's nice to have all three colours, but if you don't that's fine.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOi0VlmYamrRdZiFALiD5vRr04mngoF19-QLNhV5xc9wkGnHDdF10ZgBmZz08ofvKDDnXx2wAHduW_hb1MtmoCrvPRrnnH3PwSa7NBjd4cs7QbCAvd_auIki4nuaEl4bGbtPw00fJlM88/s2048/A1C55E43-659E-4D07-9680-BB76233251D9_1_201_a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOi0VlmYamrRdZiFALiD5vRr04mngoF19-QLNhV5xc9wkGnHDdF10ZgBmZz08ofvKDDnXx2wAHduW_hb1MtmoCrvPRrnnH3PwSa7NBjd4cs7QbCAvd_auIki4nuaEl4bGbtPw00fJlM88/s320/A1C55E43-659E-4D07-9680-BB76233251D9_1_201_a.jpeg" width="320" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7unaM7bVhvIZDjhe7KCydoo3T1capraeKFLFWnVpIay0iMVRX8ZeTJMdLqF4ypoFBG43eIx_6rNvJSxD_j4jbBjWigQTCdMNCgGA_xydn2OJSRo93Xo6sSTyWUrpIOy1zEj714gkaBM/s2048/989DBE15-546D-4ADA-9A15-DB60EE8A5407.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7unaM7bVhvIZDjhe7KCydoo3T1capraeKFLFWnVpIay0iMVRX8ZeTJMdLqF4ypoFBG43eIx_6rNvJSxD_j4jbBjWigQTCdMNCgGA_xydn2OJSRo93Xo6sSTyWUrpIOy1zEj714gkaBM/s320/989DBE15-546D-4ADA-9A15-DB60EE8A5407.heic" /></a></p><p>4.

Pin to the felt, and carefully cut around the shapes.</p><p>Line up an edge of the white felt with one edge of the black felt. Pin, and on the white felt, draw a pencil line about 1/2-1cm (1/4in.) in from the edge, to help as a guide for sewing. Thread your needle (we used black thread because it was easier to see), and start sewing about 1/2cm (1/4in.) along from the start of the pencil line. You could do running stitch, but back stitch makes a stronger, less visible seam, and the penguin is quite small, so doesn't take too long to do. Finish sewing and fasten off about 1/2cm before the end of the pencil line. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vWIng8wvzuTsmw8f4M-sKDkY_tdyPGJYe6hW36jHNNZeEhLafPFmfYJ1HkdH8KtnmymMGM-iZUt-VR5tYhIW9GAe3P5Z1Chiv-hDsnjeMasVRVhQokh-AwbUQ2fTviwmH222h9Ji4VM/s2048/95CE203A-BD1D-4DEC-972E-140C8F47BF3B_1_201_a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4vWIng8wvzuTsmw8f4M-sKDkY_tdyPGJYe6hW36jHNNZeEhLafPFmfYJ1HkdH8KtnmymMGM-iZUt-VR5tYhIW9GAe3P5Z1Chiv-hDsnjeMasVRVhQokh-AwbUQ2fTviwmH222h9Ji4VM/s320/95CE203A-BD1D-4DEC-972E-140C8F47BF3B_1_201_a.jpeg" /></a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">2.

And when I looked at it again recently I felt the kitchen units could be improved and simplified. So the old ones<span></span></p><a name='more'></a> were chucked out and new ones installed!<p></p><p>They are easy to make. <span></span>The key is to use a cereal box that has a side that fits inside your shoebox lengthways, because the whole of one of the long sides of the cereal box is going to become your set of kitchen units.</p><p><b>So, you'll need:</b></p><div style="text-align: left;">Cereal box</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ruler</div><div style="text-align: left;">Pencil</div><div style="text-align: left;">Scissors</div><div style="text-align: left;">Paint</div><div style="text-align: left;">Craft glue/glue stick</div><div style="text-align: left;">Plain Paper</div><div style="text-align: left;">Coloured felt-tips</div><div style="text-align: left;">Small matchbox (optional)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Silver spray (optional)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Silver pen (optional)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Nail scissors (optional, and to be used by an adult)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">1. The height and depth of your units will depend on the size of your kitchen box. We've gone for a height of 7cm/3in. and depth of 5cm/2in. - but obviously make it bigger or smaller depending on what works best. </div><div style="text-align: left;">The first thing you need to do is carefully open both ends of your cereal box so you can flatten it. BUT make sure you preserve the card flaps at both ends, and try not to rip them (too much!), because you are going to need them when you eventually stick your unit back together again. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Using the long side crease as the edge of your units, measure and mark out the size you want. I've squeezed our box back together with the measurements on, so you can see the shape of the kitchen units and where they come from.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJWjNCobQaqUe5Vxaaqp3IZePYBBXyeH2-CI7DdSJNQT-srHWAjkR7taHVpIClzt-9FVJwqaB7l-3m3bTZjaNIRwU4i1BPObqtKY26B_7E8-UhAVkMnd5CGz4X5Y63VrlMj8IxMTYKEvI/s2048/55F51F32-0F71-4221-A46A-D79948FDC25A_1_201_a.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJWjNCobQaqUe5Vxaaqp3IZePYBBXyeH2-CI7DdSJNQT-srHWAjkR7taHVpIClzt-9FVJwqaB7l-3m3bTZjaNIRwU4i1BPObqtKY26B_7E8-UhAVkMnd5CGz4X5Y63VrlMj8IxMTYKEvI/s320/55F51F32-0F71-4221-A46A-D79948FDC25A_1_201_a.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">2.

Time to decide what units you want now, and how big you want them to be. It looks best if all the units are roughly the same width.

You could simply draw on a sink, but if you would like to make one, cut a thin strip of card from leftover cereal box card, snip off two small pieces the same size for taps and a long piece for the spout.

Bend the spout strip, so it arches down to the sink.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We sprayed our sink silver, but you could leave it, or paint light grey.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">10.

Pierce a hole in the middle - this bit should be done by an adult - put some old modelling clay behind the card so you have something to push into, and use nail scissors (or similar). Keep them closed, press down firmly, and twist from side to side. Then could out the rectangle, BUT you need to cut a little INSIDE the pencil line, so the sink hole isn't too big.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Underneath, brush glue along the front and side edges of the hole, and then push the sink up, so the taps and spout show above the worktop and the sides and front are pressed into the glue.

Now all you need to do is glue the end tabs back together, to get your boxy shape. Before you do, press along all the creases again.

Paint the egg carton, one of the cones (for the fly) and the cereal box card black (about 25cmx15cm/10in.x5in.)</p><p>3. Working on the spider first, once the paint is dry, cut eight strips for the legs. Make them all as close to the same width as you can, roughly about 1cm/1/2in., and keep them nice and long - about 20cm/8in.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBJiO3bV0JQKqtyHZBkj-DqKhgn0MHJQb4n-0xfTKicunLB9EH0QxyQfLwr822RRJneRKckg1Xsji4kLzaxoHZwNAKvn-6uiVsjaHB4EqhiC0j-jlo-ofvOo4VJDTADgLvKoUnmOhUEMo/s2048/IMG_2102.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBJiO3bV0JQKqtyHZBkj-DqKhgn0MHJQb4n-0xfTKicunLB9EH0QxyQfLwr822RRJneRKckg1Xsji4kLzaxoHZwNAKvn-6uiVsjaHB4EqhiC0j-jlo-ofvOo4VJDTADgLvKoUnmOhUEMo/s320/IMG_2102.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p>4. Fold all the legs in half, crease in the middle then open up again.</p><p>5. Glue four legs on each side of the inside of the egg carton base. Spread them out evenly around the sides. </p><p>6. Decide which side is going to be the front of your spider. Cartons have different cardboard catches at the front, to keep them closed. Ours had two, so we cut off the sticky-out card catch bits on the base, and used the holes in the lid for eyes. Either snip the holes to a shape you like, and stick paper eyes behind them, or, simply make sure the eyes you draw are big enough, and stick them over the holes.</p><p>If your carton has one catch at the front, you might prefer to stick your spider's face on the back of the box, which would work just as well.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjywau8I7MbMdFzu0N1nuCc_qcULs3v94M6fPSU0bpnhEyC_9ZoQRRIGYnVa5CjA_Qf7hELaPgp2imRxr__NURCDZNNvVnLl7EsKbGjCBYRvKAJwHZVNVMk1QeZdfcp-k9ZY2tKhWbGyMw/s2048/IMG_2103.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjywau8I7MbMdFzu0N1nuCc_qcULs3v94M6fPSU0bpnhEyC_9ZoQRRIGYnVa5CjA_Qf7hELaPgp2imRxr__NURCDZNNvVnLl7EsKbGjCBYRvKAJwHZVNVMk1QeZdfcp-k9ZY2tKhWbGyMw/s320/IMG_2103.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p>7.

While that's drying, make the fly.</p><p>Cut around the bottom of the painted egg carton cone to neaten it off, so it's about 3cm/1in. long, and cut it in half lengthways.</p><p>9. Cut the fly's wings out of the spare, unpainted egg carton cone. The sides of the cone already have a winglike shape, they're just a bit long (but perfect for the dragonfly we made recently on Instagram) So make them about half the length of the cone. Cut out two.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWJrVFT1PphFcc2J3jnTvM9uAuXMOPt_cS2ZoViFCGgDKEKH2MtNzQH18cu1FhCWoB3U7b9byEoTQ5IN-olwprI4kxldeL_uORZvsaQZsBkajzAXCMFsSL_r99GzMFoksP-bYfP_eHBY/s2048/IMG_2096.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisWJrVFT1PphFcc2J3jnTvM9uAuXMOPt_cS2ZoViFCGgDKEKH2MtNzQH18cu1FhCWoB3U7b9byEoTQ5IN-olwprI4kxldeL_uORZvsaQZsBkajzAXCMFsSL_r99GzMFoksP-bYfP_eHBY/s320/IMG_2096.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p>10.

Scrunch up small pieces of yellow tissue paper and roll into little balls for the bulgy eyes and glue in place.</p><p>12. You can leave your fly as it is, or add pipe cleaner legs if you want. Cut three similar lengths - long enough to fit underneath, and protrude either side. You will need a stronger glue (like UHU) or a glue gun to attach the pipe cleaners. You may want to turn up the sharp ends of the pipe cleaners too, so bear that in mind when you are cutting the three pieces.</p><p>13. Once it's dry, cut a good length of string or yarn, thread onto a needle and make a hole through the top of the fly, roughly in the middle, between the wings. Thread it through, remove the needle and tie a knot in the end of the string, so the fly is attached.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYXc6G_pTCWiqRq6XDb-ueh8r1AT1NU8_rWJWzg8BcNuHG_ZYHgRgnmpxmcbDvvp76wkA6cNTJimGlqSOiRN8sQJZ9pGDj7j9mpHQ8YeLz-F142HON-RjPgcNsEMsOXEKPt6u2yTNOMvA/s2048/IMG_2107.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYXc6G_pTCWiqRq6XDb-ueh8r1AT1NU8_rWJWzg8BcNuHG_ZYHgRgnmpxmcbDvvp76wkA6cNTJimGlqSOiRN8sQJZ9pGDj7j9mpHQ8YeLz-F142HON-RjPgcNsEMsOXEKPt6u2yTNOMvA/s320/IMG_2107.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzlkGJlYKqU3HGWRlISR4PiNlYPu11u_Kw2dRYPxcM4m5OlqP6DvOAGTjuMujQVGOkq12YToBhJtImMHY7IkcVHY_lXUF6VX8an-VsU3xTgnzvJm9aeCZuI-DoJ3di6RHOSSSl0A5nw9w/s2048/IMG_2111.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzlkGJlYKqU3HGWRlISR4PiNlYPu11u_Kw2dRYPxcM4m5OlqP6DvOAGTjuMujQVGOkq12YToBhJtImMHY7IkcVHY_lXUF6VX8an-VsU3xTgnzvJm9aeCZuI-DoJ3di6RHOSSSl0A5nw9w/s320/IMG_2111.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p>Feed the other end of the string or yarn up through the bottom of the spider and out through the hole on top.</p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6DakPbYOYzAR8_ejPxcPG6cw-pKXhV9Nf0FKalb0lf6-jZ3mdWAeAuIGbWnqbVBBSmxRaIORT7RBvdPCH_zMlR5tE9v5EM4e8QVOp2aTqp3nDw7zguo7oRm48t-2t5iJC5mvrN6sUYJs/s2048/IMG_2112.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1554" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6DakPbYOYzAR8_ejPxcPG6cw-pKXhV9Nf0FKalb0lf6-jZ3mdWAeAuIGbWnqbVBBSmxRaIORT7RBvdPCH_zMlR5tE9v5EM4e8QVOp2aTqp3nDw7zguo7oRm48t-2t5iJC5mvrN6sUYJs/s320/IMG_2112.jpg" width="320" /></a></p><p>Simply pull your spider to near the top of the string, make the fly dance around in the air or on a table, and then drop your spider...</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxpxD768iMb58Onopa1o7KGvnwcmCeKjGOZ3hEDABS87AMuTXkp5uTwtb_976mCtv_e4xljdXowrFEmlBl9GQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><p>The length of string really depends on how far you want your spider to travel.

This is such an easy way to make a boat - all you need is an egg carton lid, and then when you've made the basic shape, you can turn it into any kind of sailboat or ship you want. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We've gone for a Viking longboat - some Asterix influence I think! And an abundance of lollypop sticks helped too... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They do make great oars.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>You will need:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A large egg carton (dozen box)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6 popsicle sticks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8 similar sized bottle tops (different colours is possible)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sheet of plain A4 paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Craft glue</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Strong glue (like UHU)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Red marker or felt tip pen</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. If there's paper on the lid top, remove as much of it as you can. Use a pencil to make two marks inside the lid, about 8cm/3in. from either end, and in the middle.</div>

2. Cut out a long thinnish triangle up to your mark, at both ends.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3. You're really looking to cut away any bumpy, moulded cardboard bits that you often find at the ends of the egg carton lid (see below).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjY2KJGqjqcPfvfI6mCmFZFxcMDOVWH4Hibxyt_tZy5A4dmGi6XGuvw7HROOVQ4MSacpgkuUKC2vM21UHCnGBHhgFyT97W3MwQUxjk74JL3nVagnTnckA8teFjq7r5BDgGht1nXpIsAk/s1600/IMG_1778.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrjY2KJGqjqcPfvfI6mCmFZFxcMDOVWH4Hibxyt_tZy5A4dmGi6XGuvw7HROOVQ4MSacpgkuUKC2vM21UHCnGBHhgFyT97W3MwQUxjk74JL3nVagnTnckA8teFjq7r5BDgGht1nXpIsAk/s1600/IMG_1778.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Next, carefully cut straight across the lid from the end of the triangle, right into the curvy edge. Do this on both sides and at both ends.</div>

5. Then the fun bit, you simply tuck the pieces you've cut behind the central part of your boat (or in front, which ever works best), and pull the ends together, so they overlap and fit together. Trim if you want to neaten the overlap, but hopefully they should be a pretty snug fit.</div>

You could use sticky tape, or use glue. A glue gun would be quick - we just used PVA craft glue and some clothes pegs (or paper clips) to hold it all in place while the glue dried.</div>

6. For the raised ends of the boat, cut out an egg carton cone and neaten around the bottom edge, then cut in half, longways.<br />

7. Flatten out the bottom part of the cut cone, and glue to the ends of the boat, so they sit high, above the boat edge. Press and mould to the curved shape of the bow and stern. Hold in place with pegs or paper clips while the glue dries.<br />

8. For the dragon figurehead, cut out another egg carton cone and trim around the bottom edge so it's about 3cm/1in. Draw a pencil line across one side, roughly a cm from the bottom edge, then join the ends of this line to the bottom corners below, with a diagonal line. Cut along the pencil line.</div>

10. You can draw the details on after painting, or cut out a mouth if you prefer. This is best done by an adult with small sharp scissors.<br />
<br />
Brush glue inside the bottom part of the figurehead and glue to one end of the boat. Leave pointing up while it dries (use a peg or paper clip again) Then bend down into place when dry.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
11. For the mast, cut out an egg carton cup and neaten around the edge so it sits flat. Make a very small hole on top in the middle, and place a ball of modelling clay underneath. Press the skewer stick through the hole and into the clay. Don't glue the mast into the boat yet.<br />

12. Paint the boat, mast and the six popsicle oars brown.<br />
<br />
While they're drying, make the sail. Trim a piece of plain A4 paper so it's about 20cm/8in. by 25cm/10in. We drew red strips with a marker pen, but you can obviously paint or colour-in your sail anyway you like.<br />
<br />
13. Make very small holes a few cms from the top and bottom of the sail, roughly in the middle (you don't want the holes to be too big or the sail won't stay up). When the paint is dry on the mast, slot the sail on.<br />
<br />
14. For the flag, fold over a small piece of spare paper and cut out a long thin triangle shape. Decorate and colour in as you like, then brush glue inside and wrap around the top of the mast.<br />

15. For the shields, decide where you want your bottle tops to go - we put four on each side - and lightly draw around them with a pencil on the sides of the boat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In-between these, mark diagonal lines, where the 3 oars will go on each side. Pierce through the oar lines with something like nail scissors and cut along the slots (this should be done by an adult - placing an old piece of modelling clay behind the slot helps when you're piercing through the sides.) Push the oars into place.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
16. Cut out thin strips of paper and glue crosses to the top of the bottle lids, before sticking them to the sides of the boat. Use stronger glue for this, like UHU, or a glue gun if you have one.<br />
<br />
You can glue the mast down too, though the modelling clay will hopefully stop it from falling over. Use a black marker pen to add details to the dragon figurehead.<br />

2. When the paint is dry, cut strips from the cereal box card - you will need 8 (...spot the mistake in the picture!) about one cm wide and 12cm long. Cut four circles too. We drew around the bottom of the paint bottle - you could use the bottom of a glass or beaker. The size of the circle will be the size of the claw, to help gauge what to use.<br />

<br />
3. Cut a segment out of all four circles, roughly the same size. Keep two for the claws, then cut the other two in half - these will be the claw limbs. (See below)<br />

5. Glue the claws on and <b>make sure they face in opposite directions</b>. Leave to dry.<br />

6. Fold the 8 leg strips in half, then unfold them, and attach inside the carton with glue or sticky tape. Leave them to dry sticking up in the air. When dry, bend them carefully over the edge of the box. PLEASE NOTE - the BACK of the box is going to be the front of the crab.<br />
<br />

<br />
7. THEN, press along the fold you made halfway down the strips, so it looks like a leg joint.<br />
<br />
Push the top part of the leg up. at a bit of a angle, and bend the lower part down - to make your crab look like it's scuttling!<br />

8. The claws go at the back of the carton, where the lid and base join. Just cut this join a little on both sides so the claw limbs can slot in more easily. Brush glue behind these cuts and along the bottom edge, and slot into place.</div>

9. For the eyes, cut two strips from some spare painted card, about 2cm wide and 6cm long. Mark with a pencil where you want the eyes to go on top.<br />

10. Use the nail scissors to pierce a hole through the pencil line and cut a slot (to be done by an adult). Check the strips fit.</div>

11. Either use googly eyes or draw black circles on white bottle tops with a marker pen (we used the lids from UHT milk cartons) Glue at the end of each strip.<br />

23. Add a smile with the marker pen and Crabby is ready!<br />
<br />
Why not make little crabs out of egg carton cups and pipe cleaners and pop them inside?<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 16px;">I was so thrilled when Trixi <a href="http://sewasoftie.com/">@sewasoftie</a> asked if I'd like to </span><span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">take part in her wonderful Sew a Softie project to inspire and encourage kids and adults to sew.</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">It's something Trixi is truly passionate about, and each year she organises this worldwide Sew a Softie tutorial hop, with plenty of sewing inspiration from a gang of crafty bloggers EVERY DAY for a month.</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">I love hand sewing, and can still vividly remember some of the slightly strange things I made when I was little.. like a tiny green felt pony in a matchbox sized bed..</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Honestly, I would still describe myself as an enthusiastic, experimental sewer, rather than a particularly accomplished one. But I do believe there's a great sense of joy and reward to be gained from diving in and having a sew, and seeing how much better you can get with a bit of practice. Something I hope I've passed onto my daughter. </span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Writing a tutorial with a pattern has meant I've had to think the whole process through in way more detail than I've done before, which has been an interesting learning experience!</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">And this tutorial does sort of fit in with my general crafty 'make do' message, as we've recently moved and I have had to make the most of what I've got here (not much..) So, very few pins! One colour of felt, no interfacing or embroidery thread. </span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">But, if simply using what you can find around the house helps encourage a few more people to have a go, then that's got to be good thing, right?</span><br />

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Thread the needle and knot the yarn and push the needle through the fabric from underneath, on the pencil line at point A* (have the pattern beside you so you can see the points)</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Then back through at B, up through A and back through B. Then up through A* and across and back through A, to complete the triangle shape.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Again, keep checking the fabric hasn't gathered up and you haven't pulled the stitches too tight.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Now it's a case of filling in the triangle by stitching from one side to the other, passing the needle actually through, or as close to the two stitches that form either side of the triangle. Work your way down to the point. </span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">All the time checking you haven't gathered the material by pulling the stitches too tight, and loosening them when you need to. </span><br />

Start about half way up one side - running stitch is the easiest ( double up your thread and knot the end so the thread doesn't keep slipping out of the needle).

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Leave a gap of about 1 and a half to 2 inches (3-5cm) and turn your cat inside out, or outside in! Use something like the end of a pen or a chopstick to push out the tips of the ears and the corners.</span><br />

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">13. Stuff your softie - we used fibre filling from an old cushion pad. Although it's tempting, try not to over-stuff the cat - it looks better with less, and less strain on the side stitches.</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">We used a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOIywYsDT-c">ladder or slip stitch</a> to close the hole, this is a little harder, but it does give a neat finish as the stitches are almost invisible. But if you prefer use <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmD9vpo5Fso">overstitch</a> </span><br />

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">14. For the teddy we've used part of an old jumper. I do this a lot because I hate throwing out woolies! I have bags of holey or worn through jumpers and cardigans and have made quite a few softies from them, especially from the cashmere ones! Sewing stretchy knits can be tricky on a machine, but hand sewing is straightforward enough and quite forgiving.</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">It's worth reminding kids to ask before they start chopping up jumpers.. I'm talking from experience here!</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span><span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">15. Fold your piece of jumper in half, pin the pattern to it and cut out. The stretchiness can make this a little tricky, but with such a simple shape it really won't matter if it's not perfect.</span><br />

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">16. Turn the pieces over so the wrong sides are facing outwards, pin together and sew around the shape, starting at the side, or bottom if you prefer. Use running stitch or back stitch, and keep checking that your stitches aren't too tight or too loose. Pull or release as appropriate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">Finish 2cm/1in. or so from the start, turn inside out (using something to push out the corners). Add just a little stuffing before sewing the hole closed.</span><br />

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: "helvetica";">But, if french knots are proving tricky, you could do two small stitches right next to each other for each eye instead. You'll be doing one in and out stitch with the needle, on the teddy front only, which is quite easy to do because it's stretchy. (See below)</span><br />

So that got me thinking about woodpeckers and possible woodpecker crafts. And then I thought, wouldn't it be great if the woodpecker could actually peck...?</span><br />

In fact getting the bird to peck the kitchen paper roll tree is really simple - and it mightn't look like it, but the woodpecker itself is made from a toilet paper tube!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>You will need:</b><br />
Toilet paper tube (not too narrow. Ours had a diameter of about 5cm/2in.)<br />
Pencil<br />
Ruler<br />
Paint<br />
Green paper (or plain painted)<br />
Black marker pen<br />
Strip of cereal box card (3cmx16cm/1inx6in)<br />
Kitchen paper roll<br />
Nail scissors or similar (to be used by adult)<br />
<br />
1. Apart from the green wings, all the woodpecker pieces come from the TP roll. Flatten the tube with you hand on a table or other surface, and press firmly along the creases.<br />
<br />
With a pencil, roughy mark the middle at one end, and use a ruler or something straight to draw a line down the centre.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxFZV6tRorZIAYxKOjI4YjxQ1l02TgYqkUaVxAVPDKXH8FiLqJ1r4TjfrIBBs3P87ETRLyJAgUrd7DpxEQz8bktqev7uSrNMz-_fcJuRUB_W5o7xfN3Ug-LSwT7x5Qxu-nuBnD2xAHjM/s1600/IMG_1079.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOxFZV6tRorZIAYxKOjI4YjxQ1l02TgYqkUaVxAVPDKXH8FiLqJ1r4TjfrIBBs3P87ETRLyJAgUrd7DpxEQz8bktqev7uSrNMz-_fcJuRUB_W5o7xfN3Ug-LSwT7x5Qxu-nuBnD2xAHjM/s320/IMG_1079.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
2. To help get the shape of the body, draw a line across the tube, roughly about 2cm from the top.<br />
<br />
Now, start the curve of the head at the top edge, halfway between the vertical pencil line and the side of the tube (I've marked it with a short line in the photo below). Aim for where the pencil lines cross. Then curve the rest of the body downwards, towards the bottom corner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTa9l9B0vNfdd7S-FqNhDpThWFhv86kTRgy-A1ioGn9jv0hELNgROch3VUZk7XA1pJaFmCn305Y7yi9Ouf8WEyIrZO2JzBY0AkEQPKOn_-wW-tjYmEmzjtdwR1XG5Stk9-kaaAVQA6b3M/s1600/IMG_1080.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTa9l9B0vNfdd7S-FqNhDpThWFhv86kTRgy-A1ioGn9jv0hELNgROch3VUZk7XA1pJaFmCn305Y7yi9Ouf8WEyIrZO2JzBY0AkEQPKOn_-wW-tjYmEmzjtdwR1XG5Stk9-kaaAVQA6b3M/s320/IMG_1080.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Cut it out, carefully cutting along the line. This is the body shape.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk3zyrQWFJivyIUcetGoxhO6x90XSyVW3c_PXzzKrWEK8g1nMxGiOErSOym_DGYCZ7hcmrY3CX42eZ7vtmwPFDgUK_0ltD7MjwtquXGv-cqTvn40sdhsE1vsq1_u99bB-JLhKFYfAuInk/s1600/IMG_1081.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk3zyrQWFJivyIUcetGoxhO6x90XSyVW3c_PXzzKrWEK8g1nMxGiOErSOym_DGYCZ7hcmrY3CX42eZ7vtmwPFDgUK_0ltD7MjwtquXGv-cqTvn40sdhsE1vsq1_u99bB-JLhKFYfAuInk/s320/IMG_1081.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We're now going to work on what's left of the tube, to make the tail feathers, head plume and beak.<br />
<br />
I've kept them beside the body piece, so it's hopefully easier to see where they come from.<br />
<br />
3. The tail feathers come from the top of the leftover piece, where you cut out the head. Keeping any pointy bits, cut diagonally across to the fold at a sharpish angle. So you end up with a narrow, pointy triangle.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrhWAwLPeBAXCNgUJIc-IHMpv5SMW8IYl06enyeE51JVXZ5bpYlCRn-p9Yxo5_jCFXciI-DESxJjnJbqJGVEIGRkGP_RxfxjyvqXV0WBen3ohbtnkXuCT3rca6Hy2jI_pJmZyAMCA8NWc/s1600/IMG_1082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrhWAwLPeBAXCNgUJIc-IHMpv5SMW8IYl06enyeE51JVXZ5bpYlCRn-p9Yxo5_jCFXciI-DESxJjnJbqJGVEIGRkGP_RxfxjyvqXV0WBen3ohbtnkXuCT3rca6Hy2jI_pJmZyAMCA8NWc/s320/IMG_1082.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
4. The head plume comes from the bottom part. Simply cut along the pencil line.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yguk9Tf_5X9UoQ-UkDc2IYikNwCCW5qw_DXajl7BS89ZApL-hVKIFt3ho84-C4vhdzkcKxakes9xWLhLGM-M4BfjUHrMGarYVoaRTh3EwjCAha25xf0lCy5IMOggufkJFYK5r8sOkek/s1600/IMG_1083.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8yguk9Tf_5X9UoQ-UkDc2IYikNwCCW5qw_DXajl7BS89ZApL-hVKIFt3ho84-C4vhdzkcKxakes9xWLhLGM-M4BfjUHrMGarYVoaRTh3EwjCAha25xf0lCy5IMOggufkJFYK5r8sOkek/s320/IMG_1083.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
You don't need double thick card, so only keep one of the pieces, and cut straight across it, about 3cm/1in from the edge. See the photo below.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_DwT56in9cKOOFbTEUmgaDvgD9bbCKWLJgvutzfA70pRfIiH7OJ80YwSAWT93sBPoaDJZ8cz1UfnmfHxb6xPbp5miaeIRV7nQETQrG-ctR669ixWoRRnDIzrXfU1JZ5J7DTyOGmcnH0/s1600/IMG_1084.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_DwT56in9cKOOFbTEUmgaDvgD9bbCKWLJgvutzfA70pRfIiH7OJ80YwSAWT93sBPoaDJZ8cz1UfnmfHxb6xPbp5miaeIRV7nQETQrG-ctR669ixWoRRnDIzrXfU1JZ5J7DTyOGmcnH0/s320/IMG_1084.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
5. At the very top of the body piece (on the RHS of the picture below), snip across the card diagonally, at a sharp angle, from where the curve for the head starts (the pencil mark), to the fold.<br />
(You'll be snipping off a small triangle)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYL-eRo3vyOkdfhvNQAqAxpXsQ4avKldvqs3HaVLGYFNQCIRU9pHPXcsSAHRBWSXbV4FFSvUIs915YNvUtqE51NSDNgBTLo6lxW99iWVMA45R36xrhPcCC95xsknrk2d3gXCsksxXesbo/s1600/IMG_1085.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYL-eRo3vyOkdfhvNQAqAxpXsQ4avKldvqs3HaVLGYFNQCIRU9pHPXcsSAHRBWSXbV4FFSvUIs915YNvUtqE51NSDNgBTLo6lxW99iWVMA45R36xrhPcCC95xsknrk2d3gXCsksxXesbo/s320/IMG_1085.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
6. Now, just to check how everything looks together, and if you need to do any trimming. Slip the head plume in between the fold, with the shortest side inside, and the pointy part on show, facing to the back.<br />
<br />
Push it down until the top of the head matches the width of the head plume. Place and hold the tail feathers inside the body at the bottom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
7. From what's left of the TP roll, cut a beak on the fold so it's double thick card. Make it a few cms long. Then glue it closed. Use a paper clip if you need to, to hold it firmly while the glue dries. The beak needs to be strong!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
8. Before painting, open up the body piece and draw around the shape on some green paper (or plain that you can paint or colour in later). Cut out, then fold in half. We need to make it a little smaller for the wings. So, keeping the bottom curve as it is, and draw half a heart shape on top.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Cut out and when you open it up, you should get a long heart shape.<br />
<br />
9. Time to paint. Paint the body white, both sides of the tail feathers yellow and both sides of the head plume red. Either paint the beak black or colour it in with a black marker or felt tip.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
10. Cut out the strip of cereal box card (3cmx16cm/1in.x6in.) and it's time to assemble your woodpecker!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
11. Brush glue inside the whole of the body. Then, working on one side, place the head plume in position at the top, the beak near the top of the head, then the strip of card about halfway down the body. Place the end right into the fold, so the strip is at a right angle with the back of the body.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last of all add the tail feathers, which need to stick out at the bottom. Fold the other side of the body back into place so you're sandwiching all the pieces together. Glue the paper wings on too. If you've used craft glue as opposed to a glue gun, use paper clips or something similar to hold the card pieces together while the glue dries.<br />
<br />

<br />
12. For the tree, flatten one end of a kitchen roll with your hand, so you make creases either side, and hold the strip of card across it, about a third of the way from the top. Use the strip edges to draw 2 parallel pencil lines across the tube.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdMxIbKtnFt_1Umv-hKQmuFS1Aj8ogoGnMEvI9jG9FhvFjsOdRyKptv6uUkpLWAN6ZIan6mH1ChumbAMxkdlD8Azthn6ABMsYE1tSqv87s0p5CtrbUtN75ZChdGHGUkhswuyUxLDxK_8/s1600/IMG_1113.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNdMxIbKtnFt_1Umv-hKQmuFS1Aj8ogoGnMEvI9jG9FhvFjsOdRyKptv6uUkpLWAN6ZIan6mH1ChumbAMxkdlD8Azthn6ABMsYE1tSqv87s0p5CtrbUtN75ZChdGHGUkhswuyUxLDxK_8/s320/IMG_1113.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
13. Cut a slot along one of the creases, between the pencil lines. This needs to be done by a grown up. Nail scissors or something similar work well to make a hole in the card, then cut the slot. Do the same on the other side, but this time, make the slot about 2-3cm longer, above the top pencil line<br />

<br />
Use the nail scissors to make lots of random holes in your tube.. This woodpecker has been busy!<br />
<br />
Check the strip fits into the slots and position your woodpecker so the end of the beak touches the tube.<br />
<br />
When you're happy with the bird's position, make a little pencil mark where the strip slots into the tube.<br />
<br />
Take the strip out, draw a thick black line at an angle for the legs, and take the line a little past the pencil mark. We tried it with claws, but it looked a little strange with the movement so stuck with a line.<br />
<br />
Add an eye and some feathery V marks on the wings.<br />

The strip may move around a bit, but it's easy to reposition and wasn't a bother at all.<br />

<br /></div>
Squashing toilet paper tubes to make different shapes opens up a whole new world of crafting possibilities! If you visit my blog regularly you'll know I'm forever flattening them to make a square shape..<br />
<br />
These sleepy cats are no exception, and they're really not as tricky to make as you might think. It's all about the cutting and the folding. They are made in a similar way to our <a href="https://patchworkparent.blogspot.com/2018/09/scamp-easy-to-make-paper-roll-dog.html">dog (called Scamp)</a> and <a href="https://patchworkparent.blogspot.com/2019/02/oink-pig-tp-roll-crafts-for-kids.html">pig (called Oink!)</a><br />
<br />
<b>You will need</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Toilet paper roll (ours was about 10cm long)<br />
Small piece of spare card (from a cereal box or another TP roll)<br />
Pencil<br />
Ruler<br />
Scissors<br />
Craft glue<br />
Paint<br />
Sponge (optional)<br />
Black pen.<br />
<br />
1. Flatten the TP roll with your hand, then press firmly along the creases.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Draw two lines across the flattened tube - each one should be about the same distance from the ends, and shorter than the section in the middle (which will be the cat's body)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">(For our roll which was roughly 10cm long, we drew lines that were 3cm from each end and the middle part was 4cm. See the picture below).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-_HghY0xbYytWLDeWpqx2sT3F-A0sICowQpf-5yeSDUrKfJugQLkLxEa_bHC91PDNJgrrO7j8fi4X3jDHr1jWd86obqGybDOCH3rrwAflymydQXpRcrHFxtdJ1b6BgogJVRkcIHAFiI/s1600/IMG_0774.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid-_HghY0xbYytWLDeWpqx2sT3F-A0sICowQpf-5yeSDUrKfJugQLkLxEa_bHC91PDNJgrrO7j8fi4X3jDHr1jWd86obqGybDOCH3rrwAflymydQXpRcrHFxtdJ1b6BgogJVRkcIHAFiI/s320/IMG_0774.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Then lift the tube and line up the two creases, <b>in the middle </b>(see below), and once you're happy, flatten the tube again, pressing along the two new side creases. There should now be four, hopefully evenly spaced crease lines around the tube.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEkcN-qcC-L4firLW5VDNU85PWunAcycNY_XR5eAxKco7XbU1SL2l3Rcxkc7d7p_kuLboM7RmvuiSaqfnzn5i-NWtTxtNadiMYjbjqSPc7rGSevsJb5-mCg6ZEyZF5ZsDlC8XsctiYBHg/s1600/IMG_0779.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEkcN-qcC-L4firLW5VDNU85PWunAcycNY_XR5eAxKco7XbU1SL2l3Rcxkc7d7p_kuLboM7RmvuiSaqfnzn5i-NWtTxtNadiMYjbjqSPc7rGSevsJb5-mCg6ZEyZF5ZsDlC8XsctiYBHg/s320/IMG_0779.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
4. While it's still flat, continue the pencil lines across the tube - free-hand is fine, the lines are just there as a guide.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvKXIsKVZux1tFDoXrh634BPaGInj-ppJ8M0KkzccsVT3bjEEW1jMue0lQEOdW9SKfuOsuCilTMfqvuVqYRjdbCoc890G9BLUKK8Ux7Ii254butWO4sHMGG8YpTa5lhs_FrUB1F4AV1UU/s1600/IMG_0781-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvKXIsKVZux1tFDoXrh634BPaGInj-ppJ8M0KkzccsVT3bjEEW1jMue0lQEOdW9SKfuOsuCilTMfqvuVqYRjdbCoc890G9BLUKK8Ux7Ii254butWO4sHMGG8YpTa5lhs_FrUB1F4AV1UU/s320/IMG_0781-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Cut down all the creases at both ends to the pencil line. 8 cuts altogether.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMrVut-jL7eb_vd9-_0lod2nFLEPHDuPucTDQCny3VslG3hOQoalDNOU8gXEdLj7nD16aP1aC7cBNyIRwuvgkY0T-KULXD_74gb4VfFZSw3-CKlH6n2Ffcxa0KYYGp_iokI06M0U-FUsg/s1600/IMG_0785.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMrVut-jL7eb_vd9-_0lod2nFLEPHDuPucTDQCny3VslG3hOQoalDNOU8gXEdLj7nD16aP1aC7cBNyIRwuvgkY0T-KULXD_74gb4VfFZSw3-CKlH6n2Ffcxa0KYYGp_iokI06M0U-FUsg/s320/IMG_0785.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
6. Fold and press back all the flaps, except for two at opposite ends. These flat pieces will be the bottom part of the cat (the outstretched legs).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMpSp3ElhocjGoVSel_qXaC9ri6VH_PWUdq8u6zuMHn6ZXMCpRQ82hvOtmmyNYKBf_f3MoRMuUDvMeEIAMk4q8yFY6FQPWuBCErGmprbsG-KFwDQVjnxcLfRJ-qcKmPJYSl0_WI-yONT8/s1600/IMG_0788.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMpSp3ElhocjGoVSel_qXaC9ri6VH_PWUdq8u6zuMHn6ZXMCpRQ82hvOtmmyNYKBf_f3MoRMuUDvMeEIAMk4q8yFY6FQPWuBCErGmprbsG-KFwDQVjnxcLfRJ-qcKmPJYSl0_WI-yONT8/s320/IMG_0788.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
7. At one end, cut the top flap off, carefully along the crease. This square-isn piece will be your cats head. Keep it somewhere safe.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjvpgDHDAXaLZKOpWdz6TReho25KHPqGPBmy3bpIYnxNTctyBIpxxa7eoY3j1monxS9fqsOoZdWrgoVzhRMQ1UUD5mBsa-VFOCpkRnMJ-Ghmn6sinZSZGbGOKXWT_53FbAcbMKW7R6ZUQ/s1600/IMG_0790.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjvpgDHDAXaLZKOpWdz6TReho25KHPqGPBmy3bpIYnxNTctyBIpxxa7eoY3j1monxS9fqsOoZdWrgoVzhRMQ1UUD5mBsa-VFOCpkRnMJ-Ghmn6sinZSZGbGOKXWT_53FbAcbMKW7R6ZUQ/s320/IMG_0790.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
8. To define the legs, cut a thin triangle shape in the middle of the flat, unfolded piece of card. Cut right up inside your cat's body. Do this at both ends and round off the paws if you want.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkjgz4-Z5v5Q-boYyGMtB07VKYSRWS7NmIwMB1vEU6ynNlQPAy4ZWjZIlVCJ901eE8bSz2U1jQKJ_lYv8vY2D3Hl3ggmQdKqf4yTQMS7cKhWlgJWuMtmtGZI8uIdNV4iXso_BKGQOV1IA/s1600/IMG_0794.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkjgz4-Z5v5Q-boYyGMtB07VKYSRWS7NmIwMB1vEU6ynNlQPAy4ZWjZIlVCJ901eE8bSz2U1jQKJ_lYv8vY2D3Hl3ggmQdKqf4yTQMS7cKhWlgJWuMtmtGZI8uIdNV4iXso_BKGQOV1IA/s320/IMG_0794.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
9. Now, at the head end (the one with no top flap), fold one of the side flaps right back against the side of the tube, press firmly along the crease again, then fold this flap in the middle (so, effectively in half) so the top edge of the flap lines up with the bottom part of the flap (the edge of the body), and press firmly along the folds.<br />
<br />

<br />
10. Do the same on the other side, then push these folded flaps inwards, towards the tube.<br />
<br />

<br />
11. They should come together well enough, like little doors, to seal off the front of your cat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
They will jut out a bit in the middle (see RHS of photo below), but this is what we want, because this is where the head will be attached later. No need to use any glue at this stage.<br />
<br />
<br />
12. Do exactly the same to the flaps at the other end, but this time, before you push them inwards, into the tube, cut a slit up the middle of the top flap, right up to the fold (cut a sliver of card out, to make a slightly larger slot - this makes things easier)<br />
<br />
As you can see ours isn't exactly in the middle! But it still works, it doesn't need to be perfect. Push this top flap down, to cover the hole, and then press the two side flaps into the slot.<br />
<br />
Essentially it's like closing a little box! And it should hold together without glue.<br />

13. Now for the tail - draw on some spare card (we used another tp roll, so both sides were easy to paint)<br />
<br />
We made our tail quite curly and quite fiddly to cut out! So do go for a simpler shape if you prefer.<br />
<br />
Make the tail extra long at the body end, so you can slot it into the back.<br />
<br />
It should stay in position, but take it out again for painting.<br />
<br />

14. Take the square of card you cut off earlier for the head, and cut a gentle curve along one side, to form the cat's ears.<br />

15. Time to paint, and we used a sponge, which was fun and really quick! For our marmalade cat we squirted some yellow and a little red poster paint onto a sheet of newspaper (with an extra sheet underneath) and used the sponge to mix the colours and press the paint onto the cardboard pieces. Using the sponge gives a lovely mottled effect.<br />
<br />
Sponge both sides of the tail.<br />
<br />
(might notice the newspaper's been recycled from the forget-me-not printing project!)<br />

16. When the paint's dry, slot the tail back in (dab some glue on the end, if you feel it's a bit loose) and use a black pen (gel or thin marker pen) to draw on a face, plus claws on the front paws.<br />
<br />
We added some tabby stripes to the face on the left with an orange Sharpie. You could draw stripes on the body too if you wanted.<br />
<br />
Put a good blob of glue on the back of the head and attach to the top of the protruding flaps at the front. You could glue it so the head is facing forward, or glue the head angled to one side, as we did.<br />
<br />

It's fun finding things at home to print with, and bubble wrap has to be one of our favourites. We've used it before, to print <a href="https://patchworkparent.blogspot.com/2017/05/bubble-wrap-flower-printing-art-for-kids.html">cow parsley </a>and <a href="https://patchworkparent.blogspot.com/2017/05/bubble-wrap-wisteria-art-for-kids.html">wisteria</a> - this time it's forget-me-nots (though it really could be any purply-blue wildflower).<br />
<br />
I wanted to do forget-me-nots because they remind me of home. They appear all over our garden, in unexpected places, and always brighten things up.<br />
<br />
<i>Forget-me-not, forget-me-not</i><br />
<i>I'd say that's quite unlikely</i><br />
<i>since you spread your seeds like common weeds,</i><br />
<i>at least you're not unsightly..</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>In fact you bring a zing of spring to any garden nook</i><br />
<i>which is good news as clouds of blues are everywhere I look!</i><br />
<br />
To make the stamps, cut out a circle of dots (7 dots altogether) and make sure you don't snip or puncture any of them, and glue to the bottom of a cork, or on top of a bottle lid would work too. Use strong glue like UHU or a glue gun if you've got one.<br />
<br />
We also made a stamp with four bubble wrap dots, for a bit of variety.<br />
<br />
You can of course print on plain paper, but we thought we'd brush on a green wash (using watered down green poster paint and a big brush)<br />
<br />
For the flowers we put a good squirt of blue, white and purple paint on a plate.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mix some of the colours together, but leave some unmixed too. Encourage kids to experiment with all the different colours and shades - dipping into the mixed colour and then dunking into some white or blue. This has a lovely effect, giving the flowers much more life and depth.<br />
<br />
Try not to overload the stamps with paint or you'll end up with lots of blobs with no definition at all. To help avoid over-enthusiastic splodges, get kids to try their flower stamp on some newspaper first, which acts like a kind of blotter, before printing on the paper.<br />
<br />
You could brush paint on the stamps instead too, but that's not going to be as much fun!<br />

For the stalks, use the side of a coffee stirrer or popsicle stick. We mixed some blue into the green to make it darker, and as before, dipped the side of the stick into the mixed colour, as well as the plain colours, plus a little white too, which helps give the stalks more definition, as if they're catching the light. Get some white on the stick and press it along the side of a printed green line.<br />
<br />
This is a simple way of achieving a more advanced effect, and it looks great.<br />

For the leaves, we used half a potato and drew and cut out a simple small leaf shape.<br />

It's foxglove time of year again, and I love the way they self-seed and pop up randomly in the garden - in the weirdest places sometimes. They're biennials, so they don't flower their first year, but make up for it (with bells on!) the second year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Egg carton cones are perfect for the shape of the bell-like flowers - add some paint, a few green pipe cleaners and paper leaves, and you have foxgloves to enjoy all year round!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>You will need:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10 egg carton cones (2 x dozen cartons or 5 x half-a-dozen cartons)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Scissors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Paint</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4 long Pipe cleaners (ours were about 30cm) + 1 for attaching the leaves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sheet green paper (or plain painted)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Roughly cut the middle cones from the cartons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishN_JLGICosX3aVvqhQtV9a_hBmuVijg-sDpUSgRWU6V3SRsgnTesl6v9E-0TQ3DEHOywavEmek7CW_-py-EqTewHCyKPwASPXfwgMdJXJQHSX1xFUxmkQ88CpsTcBsPXZbqANufP57I/s1600/IMG_1109.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEishN_JLGICosX3aVvqhQtV9a_hBmuVijg-sDpUSgRWU6V3SRsgnTesl6v9E-0TQ3DEHOywavEmek7CW_-py-EqTewHCyKPwASPXfwgMdJXJQHSX1xFUxmkQ88CpsTcBsPXZbqANufP57I/s320/IMG_1109.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
2. You need to vary the size of the cones - so two big, two a little smaller, the next two smaller again and so on. So you have five sets of two. But honestly, each set of two doesn't have to be exactly the same! As long as all of them range from big to small that's fine.<br />
<br />
(Easiest I think to cut them all out the same first - so cut around each cone, just above the bumpy cardboard join and then put two cones aside, and mark the others with a pencil in sets of two, getting a little closer to the cone top each time)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrvlJQgxCOdnwEetW4yCLcwBnWe9JHmKbdq7UWDg8Re9LZTDZKau9KYVufhwWI2_xqjEVh5RK3Z956svJnqTTd6pWueeOkNAGW-CBJBCuotM8f5l9nLBy8-i5uC3hfDRm-yaeJ8omOZ-4/s1600/IMG_1112.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrvlJQgxCOdnwEetW4yCLcwBnWe9JHmKbdq7UWDg8Re9LZTDZKau9KYVufhwWI2_xqjEVh5RK3Z956svJnqTTd6pWueeOkNAGW-CBJBCuotM8f5l9nLBy8-i5uC3hfDRm-yaeJ8omOZ-4/s320/IMG_1112.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Next, you need to angle your foxglove bells, so you can see inside.<br />
<br />
Draw a straight pencil line across one side of a cone, roughly a cm or so above the bottom edge, and then join the ends of this pencil line to the two back corners with a diagonal line.<br />
<br />

4. Painting time next, and we used a mix of purple, pink and white, to paint each cone, and then brushed white paint around the edge and dots of white inside. It helped to have a real foxglove bell to look at, but you could also use an online photo.<br />

6. You will need four pipe-cleaners for this bit - ours were about 30cm long. Keep one aside and cut the other three into three roughly equal pieces (of about 10cm)<br />
<br />
Wind one end of the uncut pipe-cleaner around itself to make a kind of knot (so it doesn't slip through the hole), and thread through one of the smallest cones.<br />
<br />
(Our cones already had holes on top, you may have to make holes, nails scissors are good for this, or place the cone on a piece of old modelling clay, with the pointy end on the clay, and push a sharp pencil/pen or knitting needle through the inside of the cone, so it pierces through the top. Take care though, as the card can be thin here, and don't make the holes too big)<br />

8. Now, wind each bell onto the long pipe-cleaner, going from small to large.<br />
<br />
First, hold the other smallest cone about 2cm or so below the top flower, and out to one side. When you're happy with the position, wind the short pipe-cleaner tightly around the stem. Then hold one of the next size cones JUST below the one you've done, facing to the other way, and wind the short pipe-cleaner tightly around the long stem again.<br />

9. A few cms below, add the next two (in order of size) in the same way, and repeat, until you have three cones remaining.<br />
<br />
You want to get these three to be close to each other.<br />
<br />
So, do as you've done before, add the next size a few cms below the two above, and bend it so it's facing the opposite way from the last one you attached.<br />
<br />
Then add the next one JUST below it, but make this one face forward. Add the last cone JUST below this one, facing the other other direction, winding the pipe-cleaners as you go.<br />

10. You will need to move the cones around now - twist any that have moved, so you can see inside, and angle them downwards. Bend one of the bells just above the bottom row more into the middle, so it's more in line with the middle cone on the bottom row. This makes the foxglove look fuller.<br />
<br />
11. It would help if you fold the bottom of the pipe-clear up to meet the ends of the pipe-cleaners attached to the bottom flowers. We didn't do this, but it should help make the stem sturdier.<br />
<br />
<b>If you don't want to add leaves</b>, wrap a pipe-cleaner tightly around the stem from near the bottom of the flowers to the end, folding in and winding around the pointy tip. Cut off any pipe-cleaner left over.<br />
<br />
12. <b>If you do want leaves</b>, don't add the last pipe-cleaner yet. Fold a piece of green paper in half. (Or a plain paper and paint green after)<br />
<br />
Draw a long thin shaped leaf and cut out so you end up with two the same.<br />
<br />
Wrap the last pipe-cleaner tightly around the stem, to cover the ends of the pipe-cleaners attached to the bottom flowers. (We didn't have another dark green one, but the different colour helps show up the winding!)<br />

13. Once you're clear of the bottom of the flowers, wrap the very end of one leaf around the stem and then wrap the pipe-cleaner tightly around it, to hold it in place. Just below, do the same with the other leaf.</div>

I love butterfly crafts, and this is a very straightforward one. A great excuse to use lots of bright colours too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>You will need:</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Toilet paper rolls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Paints (we used bottles of poster paints)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Scissors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pencil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pipe cleaner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Paint your tubes first. To get a really nice mix of bright colours, put two or three blobs of colours that work well together on different plates (ones that don't make sludgy brown when mixed!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like yellow and red, blue and white, or blue and yellow, green and yellow, yellow and pink, or blue, pink and white. White added to any of these colour combos looks great. We had some ready mixed purple too, which looked lovely with the pink and the blue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a great way for kids to experiment with colour mixing, using a simple palette of complementary colours. Give them a big brush to paint with (we often use a pastry brush) - this helps with the mixing and with speed.. and then let them loose!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We painted the inside of the tubes as well, but you really don't need to. Works just as well without.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
Mixing up the complementary colours gives a lovely marbly or sort of tie-dye effect. But if you wanted to do stripes of colours instead, or add some dots, that's totally up to you!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS-OMO1yDdBvCdAbnqYcyOxAO0GcREdZxByHPrBimDVTZgSPv764bW_M3vb6mDMl_Xp0b0UD5L1iQdjnFEiXuNrj4PvlrXnd6a-HTTfZ4mECY7z625ykcx4DsG9JDggcqb6IL-Mvj3ysM/s1600/IMG_0494-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS-OMO1yDdBvCdAbnqYcyOxAO0GcREdZxByHPrBimDVTZgSPv764bW_M3vb6mDMl_Xp0b0UD5L1iQdjnFEiXuNrj4PvlrXnd6a-HTTfZ4mECY7z625ykcx4DsG9JDggcqb6IL-Mvj3ysM/s320/IMG_0494-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
2. When the paint is dry, flatten a tube with your hand and press along the creases, so it's easier to draw on.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM91yzUzMdA2B_Gy26YNyutEOPlkrrHUdtU3sXrBcSfZV-wIefsw77ArkMZhRqVSD057-7SPw6PceuCAgKbrv1YZLYMkwF1813R5yow28gSSQlM358D0nTUlkjBp_IbNgiTOP07rInvnE/s1600/IMG_0057.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM91yzUzMdA2B_Gy26YNyutEOPlkrrHUdtU3sXrBcSfZV-wIefsw77ArkMZhRqVSD057-7SPw6PceuCAgKbrv1YZLYMkwF1813R5yow28gSSQlM358D0nTUlkjBp_IbNgiTOP07rInvnE/s320/IMG_0057.HEIC" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Use a pencil to mark the outline of your butterfly - for the butterfly body, mark about 3cm/1in along the crease, on the left-hand-side. To get the proportions of the top and bottom wings right, we drew this body line a little closer to the bottom of the tube than the top.<br />
<br />
(As a guide, our TP roll was about 10cm, the body line starts 4cm from the top of the tube, and finishes roughly 3cm from the bottom of the tube.<br />
<br />
Draw a curved line from the top of the body line to the top right-hand corner.<br />
<br />
Make a pencil mark halfway down the body line on the LHS.<br />
<br />
Draw a straight line from the right-hand edge towards this mark, but leave a gap (of about 2cm).<br />
<br />
From the end of this line in the centre of the tube, draw a big curve down to the bottom right-hand corner.<br />
<br />
Then, from the bottom of the body line on the LHS, draw another sweeping curve towards the same corner, but for fuller bottom wings, don't take this line right to the corner, stop a little before. See photo below.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
4. Cut out your butterfly, cutting through the doubled-over card. With the middle section, it's easier if you cut along the straight line first, then cut along the curve below, starting at the bottom right-hand corner.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
5. Cut away a little sliver of the top wing crease. Cut it at a slight angle. See below.<br />
<br />
Don't cut off too much!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

6. Open up your butterfly. The natural curve of the tube makes a lovely shape.<br />

7. Bend a pipe-cleaner in half and hook it around the middle of your butterfly.<br />
<br />
Twist the two pieces together to fasten, then wrap one tightly around the other, to make a head.<br />

When you're happy, decide how long you want the antennae to be and trim the pipe-cleaners, allowing a little extra if you want to bend over the pointy tips so they're not so sharp. Bend into shape.<br />

8. We made so many butterflies we needed somewhere to put them! So we painted some old cardboard packaging brown (you could leave it its natural colour) and cut out a tree trunk and some branches.<br />
<br />
We glued them all onto some brown wrapping paper with pva craft glue. But didn't stick down the very ends of the branches, so they stuck out a bit.<br />
<br />
Then attach a paper clip to the pipe-cleaner on the underside of a butterfly and clip this onto the end of a branch.<br />
<br />
If you don't want to be able to remove them, you could of course glue the butterflies onto the tree.<br />
<br />

Making flowers out of ordinary stuff you can find at home is one of the most satisfying and joyful crafts to do with kids. And the added bonus is they make great Mother's Day or Valentines gifts!<br />
<br />
I've gathered a few of my favourite flower crafts here. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.<br />

Printing flowers with stuff you already have at home is a great activity, and perfect for making cards for Mums or loved ones. You can do potato printing, use a toilet paper roll pressed flat to make a petal shape, or you could try some bubble-wrap flowers.</div>

A simple and quick, and hopefully useful Mother's Day gift!<br />
<br />
We made this two ways - rolling paper for the flowers and scrunching tissue paper - the second option is easier for littlies to do.<br />
<br />
<b>You will need:</b><br />
Egg carton<br />
Cereal box card (or similar)<br />
Coloured paper (or painted plain paper)<br />
Tissue paper (optional)<br />
Craft glue<br />
Paint<br />
Scissors<br />
<br />
1. First paint some cereal box card green and one of the egg cones blue or whatever colour you'd like your vase to be - paint some of the egg box lid too.<br />
<br />
Putting the egg cone on a spare cone makes painting a lot easier (and a little less messy!)<br />
<br />

2. Find something in the kitchen with a small round base to draw around. We used a spice pot. Cut out your circle.<br />
<br />
We cut out two to show the different ways to make the flowers.<br />
<br />

<br />
3. For the rolled roses, cut a strip of coloured paper (we chose red), about 16cm/6in. long and roughly 8cm/3in. wide. Put a little line of glue at the far end and start rolling, keeping it tight.<br />
<br />

<br />
4. With good scissors, cut across your roll - this is best done by a grown-up - keep the pieces as thin/small as you can.<br />

6. Get on with making the vase while the paint dries, then dot some glue in the middle of each painted flower shape and add your little paper scrolls.<br />

7. <b>For an easier option</b>, fold some tissue paper over a few times and cut out small squares (about 3cm/1in.) ). Then scrunch them up to make your blooms. Glue on the red paint marks, as before.<br />

10. For the base of the vase, cut a triangle out of the spare egg carton card you've painted. Make the triangle quite flat and wide. Glue under the bottom of the vase. (The one on the right has tissue paper roses)<br />
<br />
Glue the top of the vase to the back of your flowers.<br />

11. To make it into a fridge magnet, you'll probably need to glue some card to the top part of the vase first, so the magnet is at the right level. We used some strong clear glue (like UHU glue) to stick the magnet on. Or you could use a glue gun.<br />
