Crafting Secrets

Can use any materials such as plastic bottles, craft sticks, balloons, foam, wood, rubber bands, tape, cardboard, plastic propellers. I need help with how to propell the boat more than with the design.

In high school I made a paper-mache canoe. I even floated in it, inside the pool. They almost killed the teacher for that – didn’t touch me. I got into my projects.
A self propelled boat = make a lightweight boat out of balsa wood. Build a paddlewheel and wind it up with a rubber band, so that when you release it, it will go a little way.

My sister in-law and I are going to start watching children out of her home. By state law we are able to have up to 12 kids. It will be full-time so we are expecting to watch kids 4 and under. We need lots of craft,games and etc. ideas to keep them busy! any webistes that you know of with ideas are welcome. Ideas would be great too!!!

kids 4 – making puppets(old socks….or paper…but socks are better)……tag…have the kids play together…….get some toys they would like……..but toys they can share……….since they are 4 they can also play with clay…..get some dolls for girls..with accesories……….and cars for boys with play mats…..oh….cartoon movies..like whinnie the pooh….

3- can do most of what the 4 year olds are doing…….maybe get some books they can look at……

2 and yonger- feely books….dolls……Big toy cars….balls…lots of bouncy balls of all sizes as long as they can hold them…..play some hand games with them…..

make sure to get stuff that most all of them can play with and good luck

For a change, I thought my boyfriend and I could work on an art project or craft tonight instead of spending time together in the usual ways: watching a movie or playing cards. I have all kinds of art supplies, so I am open to any suggestions that you have…my only challenge is choosing something my boyfriend wouldn’t mind doing. Any ideas?

You could paint portraits of each other. Even if one or neither of you paint well, it could be fun. If they’re really bad, that could make it even more fun.

I don’t mean camps where the kids learn about marine biology or study anything sea-related aboard a little yacht (not that there is anything wrong with that, but I’m looking for something more along the lines of a large boat with a swimming pool and/or other cruise ship amenities, and not as many educational activities as some other at-sea camps).
I meant camps that are for kids only, just like a normal overnight camp, but at sea. Thanks, though.

Camp Carnival on Carnival cruise line is great for kids….my kids never want to leave. Depending on their age they have activities like twilight pool parties, make-your-own pizza parties, tee-shirt designing, and my older daughter even got to go backstage after a show and the dancers had a little dance class for them!

I enjoy arts and crafts. I also work well with children as well as adults. I love dogs. I just dont know which way to go to begin my own business and which business at that. Any suggestions? Rosie.

I have been searching for the same thing…and I finally found something good. www.gbgpayday.info. Seriously works. Well lol, my friend Rebbecca is having her third child in April. Her husband didn’t want her to go back to work. So they go involved with this, then got me involved. It’s a free to start business, and easy as cake! I love it, I can’t believe I have tried anything else. Also just to reassure you that is a great opportunity GBG was voted Successful Home Businesses Magazine business of the month! Anyway, just check it out and email me, I can maybe send you some more information. I think you’ll find what your looking for in GBG.

I’m super bored, love arts and crafts, and I want to make something unique and creative.

How about any of these:

origami
decoupage
beading
felting
quilting
cross-stitching
knitting
crocheting
sewing

I have a passion for acting, for guiding actors, and for helping actors get to their next best level.

My current focus is on AUDITIONING. I would love to know how I can help you
- assess your strengths
- learn how to audition for a specific play vs. a theatre season
- have fun with cold readings
- discover how to have no-limit thinking when it comes to auditioning
- learn where NOT to find monologues
- craft a truly dynamic monologue
- effectively boost your stage presence,
- etc.!

I Love This Stuff.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I often find myself walking into auditions totally prepared with my monologue broken into beats, with a real connection to the character, and with a general confidence. But then, as I begin the monologue in front of the auditor, I find myself not as immersed in the monologue as I was while practicing at home, most likely due to my subconscious need to see what the auditor is thinking. So, in short, my main problem is, staying "in the moment" (to be totally cliche) while auditioning.

For my engineering project, I have to make a working hip joint. But I dont know what to make the hip and femur bone out of? My group was thinking about wood, but it would be too much sand papering to shape it.

So what material is easily crafted but can stay in that form without being too fragile? Thank you. =]

the low fire ceramic is a good idea. If you are a student and your campus has a ceramic department go to them and ask for help. Tell them that you would like to hand build it out of a low fire clay that will dry without cracking, with a lot of fire clay in the recipe and that you want to add some fiber too it. The fire clay will give you strength in drying, decrease shrinkage and make it durable to being built by someone who doesn’t know what they are doing. The fiber will also lower the risk of cracking when drying and will lighten the object up because it will burn off when fired. You will have to ask the ceramics department to help you fire it. It only needs to be bisque fired. good luck.

I have a three yr old kid at my work whos mom jus had major surgery. He is a big mommy;s boy, so I thought I would look for some ideas of things to make for her.

Walmart has a "craft" aisle with lots of projects appropriate for a 3 year old. One of my favorites is the picture frame. They can decorate it with foam stickers and then you can put a fun picture of the kid in it for the hospital room.

To get original artwork out of a kid I give them something fun to glue on paper, it gets their creativity going. (macaroni, feathers, sequins, foam beads, confetti, moss, leaves, hole punches, candy wrappers, anything will work then add to it with crayons or markers.)

and enviromental science too. Thanks!!
