We had a blast bringing our non-profit, CReATE ON YOUR CAMPUS reuse sensibilities to OPEN Classroom for a hands-on assembly to paint, cut, build, play, sort and rub with the cast offs that typically cross campus paths. Everything we used had been considered used up until we got our hands on them.
Creating at home #11
Saturday, November 12, 2016
Thankful day 12 is Creating at home idea number 11- make a Thanksgiving pop-up card to send to family near or far.
You’ll need two pieces of paper that you can color or paint, markers, pencils or paint and glue (a glue stick and 8x11size paper works great)
Before creating your design lay the two pieces together and fold them in half, sideways.
Then, take the top of the inside paper and at the fold line, fold it diagnally like a triangle-you choose how big or small this fold will be . It will be the pop-out part of your card.
Then decorate your papers as you would like, one to be the inside of the card and one to be the outside, and glue them together leaving the top pop-out corner free to move facing inward.
Presto, you have a cool card to share!
Creating At Home Idea #11
Wednesday, November 2, 2016
Thankful day 2 is one of our yearly repeat ideas, this time as “Creating At Home Idea Number 11″ make a word banner that inspires grateful thoughts at your house. We like the word Thanks but we also like Bounty and Family as easy ideas.
You will need a few sheets of paper or pieces of cardboard ( cereal boxes are great for this) to cut your letters. We made our letters about 6” tall. Next you can hole punch one or two times per letter to thread string, yarn or ribbon through and voila! You’ve got a banner to don your fireplace or featured wall for an extra Thankful month.
