Pinecone Owl
Materials
for Pinecone Owl: Pinecone, jiggle eyes, feathers, pipe
cleaner, piece of yellow construction paper or felt, white
glue, scissors, gloves
Use
the gloves to hold the pokey pinecone. Glue on jiggle eyes and
feather tufts that look like ears. Cut a small triangle with
scissors from yellow construction paper or felt and glue it in
place for a beak. Take a pipe cleaner and bend it to form two
feet. Glue the feet in place. That's all there is to it. Make
a whole family of owls and glue them to a small branch for a
decoration. |
Pumpkin Eggshell Decoration
Pumpkin
decoration made by covering eggshell with pieces of tissue
paper, held in place with watered-down white glue.
Pilgrim
Decorations
These pilgrims
are made by attaching a Styrofoam® head covered with cotton batting and a
piece of nylon stocking to an empty jar lid. The noses are made by making a
few stitches in the stocking and making sure some of the batting is within
the stitches. Pull the thread and tie it to create a nose. Paint the faces.
Hair is made of yarn. Clothing and accessories are pieces of fabric and
ribbon that are glued to the bottles. Arms are pipe cleaners with
stocking-over-batting hands and pieces of fabric glued in place to cover the
pipe cleaners. Use scrap pieces of fabric, ribbon, etc. and be creative.

Pumpkin
Bell Windchime
Materials:
4 small (2") clay pots; twine, raffia, jingle bells,
orange and black acrylic pain, paintbrush
Paint
the clay pots orange and add jack-o-lantern faces with the
black paint after the orange layer is completely dry. When the
paint is dry, place pots upside down with the bases up and run
a piece of twine through the hole in each base. Tie the end of
twine that is inside each pot to a jingle bell and then make a
large knot just inside the hole so that it won't pull through.
Make another good size knot on the outside of the hole to
secure the pot. Leave about 15" of twine outside of the
pot. When you have done this with all 4 pots, tie the long
ends of the twine together. Add a little raffia to the top of
each bell and put a raffia bow on top of the twine where it is
tied together. Hang outdoors for a breeze or indoors as a
decoration.
