Mothers Day Make and Takes

Well where have i been all this week?......recovering from make and take sessions at Elmore Green Primary School.
On Tuesday and Wednesday last week I organised make and takes for 50 children to be held after school. The basic idea was a parent or carer came along to help their child make a gift and a card for mothers day. The activities were separated into 3 age groups and done on a budget of under £1 per child. I would like to say thank you to my group of parent helpers who helped make this a huge success.

Clowning Around

Its Red Nose Day and yes Connor decides last minute he would like to be a clown. Out comes Pauls old shirt, a pair of scisscors, ribbon and novelty buttons. He had a lovely time and the school raised about £300.

Away with the Fairies

So what have i been doing all week? ......making fairy doors! I found these in an old issue of Craft Stamper and decided to have a go, Bethany was so impressed i then had to make a kit for her and her friend to do, followed by the goblin door for Connor.
These are so easy to make from scraps of chipboard (or wood) and there is a website with story of the doors on http://www.urban-fairies.com/. Just place them around your home and invite the fairies to move in, i just hope i get the magic housework fairies and not the odd sock eatting goblins!!!

In between crafting, tshirt painting, cinema, buildabear, i managed to start having a play on photoshop to make bethanys card, it is my first attempt and i was aiming for a Hannah Montana style art print look. Might not be perfect, i still not quite sure if i like it but Beth was happy.
