Plain Jar INTO Stylish Jar

Crafting jars are a great crafting tool. They can be used for so many activities. For instance, yesterday I created a "time out jar". I filled the jar with glitter, kero syrup, vegitable oil and water. Students who misbehaved must shake the jar. Once all the glitter and sequence settled, only then can they return to play. It was pretty neat!

Today I have an awesome organizational craft using craft jars. Its simple, cheap, and can be customized to your room, color scheme, or favorite scrapbook prints!
You need:1 Craft Jar with lid
Scrapbook paper
Scissors
Ribbon
Optional : Hot Glue Gun

Cool Silhouette Art

While experimenting with construction paper crayons (which are my all time favorite crayons, because they are SO COOL) I came across an idea! Most of the children who are in my art club are children who LOVE to dance. So I decided we would do some awesome silhouette art using silhouettes of dancers!
Heres what I came up with:

Ah it is SO PRETTY! Plus you can use any kind of silhouette including a home photograph!  Kids can have their own fun using silhouettes of baseball, soccer, dance, random jumping pictures, animals, and favorite shapes!

You can even use paint, glitter, or other various craft tools! Below is an example of paint and glitter glue!

Oooo Paint and Glitter Glue O.O so pretty.

SAVE THE CRAYONS! DIY Microwave Crayons

I hated throwing out the poor crayons that have been left at the bottom of the bucket. You know, the sad broken, chipped, and speckled ones? I always felt like it was a waste. You buy a pack of crayons to only use 1/3 of them? WASTE OF CREATIVE TOOLS.

Well now you can save your broken crayons to make BIGGER excitng new shaped crayons! All you need is a microwave, a SILICONE mold, and the crayons. Its a great project to do with the kids. At my job, I made these crayons carefully with a small group of kids and they went nuts for it! They had so much fun breaking up the crayons into smaller pieces, making awesome color schemes, and the best part was watching it melt in the microwave.
