Make someones day by crafting up a totally cool pen for them.

I love paper crafts for children that involve their own creativity in making a gift for someone special.You may need to get them to make a few of these pens as they will want to keep one forthemselves.

This idea was inspired bypainted sticks at Creative Jewish Moms blog. When I saw them I thoughtthat I would love to be able to use them to write and draw with.

We created our own sticks by wrapping some pens with papier mache. We tore up somenewspaper into little strips and used wallpaper paste to glue the paper onto the pens. Of courseyou need to make sure that the pen is clicked on before you start! To create the shape on the penwith the ball at the end we also folded and squished some paper and attached it with more strips ofpaper and paste.

Then it was just a matter of waiting till they dried, hiding them in a bag of other projects, findingthem again, burying them under a pile of decorated paper, uncovering them, sitting them on thecoffee table for a week, and them painting them. An extension is to then decide that you do not like

one of them and paint over the top of it with white paint themrepeat from the beginning of this paragraph.

For this paper craft you need two bowls, cling-film, newspaper, white paper, tissue paper andpaste. For this egg example of a papier mache construction you will also need ribbon.

The two small bowls need to have the same size opening, alternatively

you can use just one bowl and make one half first and the second halflater. Cover the bowls with cling-film.

Glue strips of newspaper onto the bowl and leave to dry. When it is drycarefully remove the bowl and cling-film and leave it to dry on the insideas well.

Add a layer of white paper so that no newsprint will show through thefinal tissue paper layer.

Use layers of strong packing tape to make a hinge to join the two halvesof the construction which in this case will be an egg.

I suggest making a small lip on the outside of one half so that it fits a tinybit over the other half this helps hold it together. Finish the outside witha layer of torn tissue paper.

Glue a ribbon to the bottom so that the egg can be kept closed with abow.

Here's what you willneed:

y Scraps of paper in coordinating colours - I used blue but youcould use any colour combination that pleases you

y A box of pearl-headed or decorative pins (though plain ones

would do. I just like the look of the pearl ones)y A Styrofoam ball

y Circle paper punches in at least two sizes that will allow you to

punch out two colours and layer them as illustrated. I also useda small flower punch and layered that on top of the circles

y A length of wooden doweling

y A flower pot and sand or rocks/gravel/something heavy to fill it

with

y Some wrapping paper or card stock to cover the flower pot

Here'sHow to Make your Tree:y Punch out two sizes of circles and stack them together in sets of

twoy Pin the stacked circles together and push them into the

Styrofoam ball. Make sure you overlap them enough to hide theStyrofoam, and space them as evenly as you can

y When the whole ball is covered in pinned circles, cover thelength of doweling with a long paper spiral. Then push the

doweling into the circle covered ball and set it aside

y Turn the flower pot upside down on a piece of cardstock or

wrapping paper and trace around the wide top. Cut this circle outand punch a doweling sized hole in the middle

y Cover the flower pot with the wrapping paper and fix it securely.

Decorate the outside as desired

y Stand the circle ball and doweling in the flower pot, thread the

cut out disc onto the doweling so it will sit in the top of theflower pot when assembled, and fill the pot with your choice of

ballast (sand, rocks, gravel), keeping the doweling balanced in

the middle of the pot until it can stand alone

y Fit the cut out disc down into the pot to cover up the rocks/sand

Step 1

Tear Paper:For a large egg, tear paper for the egg lining

into strips (3/4 to 1 inch wide), using a metal ruler as a

guide; for a small egg, tear squares, which will hug the form

better. Set paper aside. Repeat, tearing pieces for middleand outer-shell layers.

Step 2

Prepare Balloon: Blow up a balloon until it assumes an egg shape, and tie it off.

Set balloon in a small glass bowl, and set that in a larger bowl (to catch drips).

Step 3

Mix Sealant: In a bowl, combine 1 cup warm water and 2 cups matte-finish

sealant (such as Mod Podge), mixing well. As you work, repeat to make more

sealant as needed.

Step 4

Apply Paper:Soak papers for egg lining in sealant until saturated. Take out 1

piece at a time, removing excess liquid with fingers. Working from top of

balloon to bottom, apply pieces, overlapping slightly. Add middle and

outer-shell layers while paper is wet. Next, reinforce top and bottom of egg

by crisscrossing with shorter strips of outer-shell paper. Let dry at least 24

hours. Keep away from heat, which can cause buckling.

Step 5


9/14

Crack Egg: Re-adhere any unglued bits of paper, or trim them with small, sharp

scissors. With a pencil, mark a jagged line around the upper part of egg. Using a

craft knife, slowly cut along line. Pop balloon; if egg dents, push it back out from

inside. To make a pedestal, cut egg close to the top; glue the upturned cap to the

bottom of egg. Let dry.

y Newspapery Glue

y Watery Cardboard

y Masking tape

y Drop clothy Paint

y Paintbru

Instructions

Lay a drop cloth down in the area in whichyou will work.

Cut a large circle out of a piece ofcardboard for the hat brim. If someone willwear the paper mache witch hat, measurethe person's head and cut a circle out ofthe middle of the circle just cut the samesize.

Roll up a section of newspaper. Roll itloosely to fit inside the cardboard hat brim.Leave one inch of newspaper below thebrim. Tape this to the bottom of the brim.

Tape the top of the rolled-up newspaper sothat it stays together. Roll the tip of thehat a little tighter and stuff it withnewspaper to create a tip. Another optionis to roll the tip and bend it slightly so itappears to be falling.

Mix the glue by using 1/4 cup of water and3/4 cup of glue and stirring well. Tearstrips of newspaper about 1" by 8" andbegin dipping them into the glue solution.Pull out strips one at a time, remove theexcess glue and gently lay them on thehat. Begin creating a layer on the hat,paying close attention to the seams toensure that they are well covered.Continue tearing, dipping, and laye,ringstrips until the outside of the hat, includingthe underside of the brim is covered. Allowthe hat to dry for at least 24 hours.

Repeat the glue making process. Tearmore strips of newspaper and dip them

before layering. Wati 24 hours and repeatthis process again so that when the hat is

finished there are three layers ofnewspaper on it. Each layer must dry for atleast 24 hours.

Paint the hat in whatever design youchoose when it is completely dry.

How to Make a Star-Shaped Book

Suppliesfor Creating a Star-Shaped Book

y 2 pieces of thin cardboard cut 4" square

y 2 pieces of decorative paper cut 5 1/2" square

y 5 cardstock rectangles cut to 4 x 8" and folded exactly in halfy 5 patterned paper rectangles that are 6 1/2 x 3 1/2". Fold each exactly in half.y Glue stick

y Double sided tape

y 2 pieces of ribbon, 10" long each

Instructionsfor Making a Star-Shaped Book

Glue the two pieces of cardboard onto the two 5 1/2" squares of paper. Cut the corners diagonally off

the paper and fold the sides down and glue them to the cardboard.

Take a large rectangle and put double-sided tape or glue on the inside edge of each end and put a

smaller rectangle inside with the end edges lining up with those of the larger rectangle. Make sure the

smaller rectangle is centered horizontally on the larger rectangle and that there is a space in themiddle between the two rectangles.

Repeat this process until all the smaller rectangles are attached to the larger ones. Once they are

ready, glue all 5 folded rectangles together with the outsides attaching to one another. We'll do this by

putting glue on the outside of one and, lining up the edges with another one, press them firmly

together. Repeat this until all 5 are attached in a row, leaving the ends open for the cover.

Now glue the end of a piece of ribbon to the inside of each piece of cardboard. Glue the cardboard

pieces to the ends of the star book so that the ribbon is between the cover and the book paper.

Let your child draw pictures or put stickers in the book. You may want to add some photos of him that

can be embellished to make a mini scrapbook.

You can tie the book closed, or open it into a star form and tie the ribbon to hold the shape.

For a fun variation, use different colored or patterned paper for each fold of the star. When using a

variety of patterns, stay with one color scheme for unity.
