5 SUMMER CRAFTS TO DO WHEN YOU’RE BORED
5 SUMMER CRAFTS TO DO WHEN YOU’RE BORED
By Katelyn Chen 633
Materials:
Sponge
Wooden skewers
Scissors
Construction paper
Glue
Something to cut the skewer with (wire cutters, etc. NOTE: It might be a little hard to cut the skewer, so you might want to get some help)
1. Sponge Sailboat
Steps:
Fold a small piece of construction paper in half and then cut a diamond from it. Unfold it. Next, put the skewer on top of the unfolded paper. (See picture →)
Add glue to one side on either side of the skewer and press them together. (See picture →)
Cut a bigger triangle out of paper. (Like the triangle in this picture →)
Poke the pointy side of the skewer in the middle of the sponge all the way and then take it out.
Take the pointy side of the skewer (again) and poke it through one of the points of the triangle, not too close to the sides.
(←Like that )
Poke the opposite side of the triangle with the skewer- the points directly across from each other. [this probably doesn’t make any sense- refer to the picture → poke at points B and C because they are directly opposite each other. ]
To sail, soak the sponge in water first and don’t worry if it falls down.
Have fun sailing your little boat on great adventures!
2. Paper Plate Bird Feeder
Materials:
Paper plates
String
Bird seed
Cheerios
Hole punch
Peanut butter
Use the hole puncher to make 3 even holes on the plate. [COMMENT: The plate might not be strong enough to hold all the bird seed and the animals that stand on the plate. You might have to use multiple plates or a plate holder]
Put several pieces of string through each hole and then tie a knot or two on it.
Then, slip on cheerios on the string (look at picture on the right →)
Next, use the peanut butter and spread it on the bottom of the plate, and then sprinkle a layer of bird seed over it. (←helpful picture left)
Tie all the tops of all the three strings together.
Hang it on a tree where there are lots of birds and squirrels.
