SENIOR LADY: EASTER CROSS PROJECT!

-
Image
  I discovered years ago its a good idea check  children's  craft websites. They have a lot of creative and economical craft ideas. Of course, I embellish the craft project, so that it appeals to adults.  One of the craft projects on my favorite children's site used  recycled egg cartons . The teacher made  the egg  carton into a cross. I stopped discarding  my egg  cartons. I collected twenty colored egg   cartons.  I made them into crosses and gave  them as gifts  for Easter. My friends and family  members  really liked the crosses. They displayed  them  every Easter holiday. The crosses finally fell  apart  a  few years later, so they requested new ones. Unfortunately,  I had stopped making them and no    longer saved egg cartons. I was searching online recently for religious Easter  craft   ideas.   I saw several crosses made recycled wood  and...

    I was really into scrapbooking several  years  ago.  I even took a scrapbooking  class  one weekend. My  friends and some  family members received mini scrap- books with photos for gifts. They were  really happy  with these gifts. It took me  several days to complete one  scrapbook. I was exhausted by the time this project was completed. This was the end of my scrapbooking hobby. I donated most of  scrapbooking supplies to the teacher of the class.  I did save my packs of scrapbook paper . I figured that I would find another use for them. I was searching online for ideas for my  Easter projects . I forgo crafts with a lot of bunnies and chicks. I prefer to focus on the religious celebration  of Easter.  The  Easter egg can represent new life or  the   end of Lent period at some churches. So I wanted some of my Easter crafts  to use  Easter eggs. My pack of scrap- boo...

SENIOR LADY: ST. PATRICK DECOR: REPURPOSE #2

Image
  I was happy with the results of my first St. Patrick's  Day craft. I discovered that I had plenty of yellow and  green unused items. I can do a second St. Patrick's Day craft. I researched crafts done using the four leaf clover.  I saw a few clover crafts, but, none of  them peaked my interest.  The religious three and four leaf designs had Bible words and phrases. My supply of letter stickers were sparse. My letter stencils were old and outdated.   Most of the  craft stores hadn't fully  restocked their stationery l etter supplies. The  holiday Crafters must have bought a lot of letter stickers. Maybe I could draw religious symbols and make templates. ST. PATRICK'S DAY 3-LEAF CLOVER DOOR HANGER : NEED: Recycled Cardboard , 3 large pieces 3 Sheets, Yellow Construction Paper 3 Sheets Green Construction Paper 2 Sheets, White Heavy Weight Paper Heart Templates: (3) 6 Inches  (3)  5 Inches Clover Leaf Stem Template (Optiona...

  Years ago, I didn't celebrate St. Patrick's  Day.  Some of my co-workers loved this holiday. The day after St. Patrick's Day , they were sick from too much green beer and Irish appetizers. I wasn't impressed with   this type of celebration.  Recently, I saw documentary   about St. Patrick's Day.  The original celebration was   religious. I was glad to  hear this. I will start doing   religious decor for St.  Patrick's Day from now on. I decided to check my unused craft supplies. I figured I might have some green and yellow colored items. There were enough supplies to use for St. Patrick's Day. ST. PATRICK'S DAY CHECKERED CROSS Need: (2) Mini Green & White Checkered Bakery Boxes St. Patrick's Day Religious Clings Yellow Construction Paper Green & Yellow Pipe Cleaners Black Permanent Marker Tools: Scissors Glue Gun & Glue Sticks INSTRUCTIONS: Cut side tabs off boxes.
