Craft Round Up to help you get through the Summer Holidays! @RedTedArt
Hello hello, I am back! It has been a very busy few months over at Red Ted Art and I have totally neglected you! So here are some highlights from Red Ted Art to inspire you to GET CRAFTY this summer!
Tutorials – ideal for teens wanting to get stuck into Summer projects or adults:
Knit Mini Teddy Bear’s Picnic – be warned, these are seriously addictive!
Practice your sewing skills with these Pillow Case Dress for Beginners. Of course you don’t have to use a pillow case…
Or try these lovely Rag Hearts. Don’t like hearts? Why not try someone’s intial? Pretty!
Or keep a Scrapbook of your holidays. An increasingly popular craft technique.
Take advantage of the beautiful weather and make this gorgeous Kite!
Or make pretty Organza Flowers to decorate bags, t-shirts or to put in your hair!
For Kids Red Ted Art is jam packed as ever… don’t forget to check out the Kids Crafts section for many ideas, but here is a highlight:
Make a range of postcards/ cards and send them to friends and family. Here are some fingerprint sunflower cards, but there are many more designs over on Red Ted Art
How about these “splat painted” sunshine flags? They are surprisingly easy to make, even for small hands and lots of fun!
Our why not get your kids to take a Photo journal – a great way to explore photography and record your holidays! My 3yrs old had a go!
Get crafty in the kitchen and make this easy “bread in a bag” – no mess, no yeast, just yummy.
Finally we have TWO craft carnivals:
Weather Get Crafty – this is possibly one of the most exciting carnivals to date -a fabulous selection of over 40 crafts for ALL AGE groups on weather – great for the summer holidays – from windsocks, to sun catchers, to sun dials, to umbrellas. It is all there.. go explore!
Transport Get Crafty – of course this is NOT just for boys, but may indeed get that reluctant boy crafting – you will find balloon powered cards, hovering hover crafts, paper helicopters, as well as how to make bicycle baskets and seat covers and yummy alien treats… something for everyone!
Enjoy! And have a great summer!
