Two days in a row?? There is a pretty decent chance that
the world may be coming to an end, but hopefully it’s just a rush of motivation
on my part.
I’m back (for the second day in a row—didn’t know if you
caught that) to share another little craft idea that I stole from someone and
made my own. That’s what Pinterest is for, right?!
This one wasn’t quite as quick as the Matching Tubes, but
it’s one of those things you can do while you’re watching Charlotte’s Web with the kiddos. It gets harder toward the end of
the movie and Charlotte dies because everything gets blurry for some reason.
But I digress.
For this I had almost everything on hand already and I
just printed out the pictures onto cardstock. The only thing I had to buy was
the rubber cement, and I’ve been meaning to pick some up for a while anyway.
Super simple: just find pictures your little munsters
will like and print them out onto cardstock. Regular printer paper would
probably work too but I make no guarantees. From there I just cut them out and
flipped them over so they were right-side down on my TV tray high-tech
crafting surface. I brushed the rubber cement on just a little at a time since
it tends to dry really fast and just lined up popsicle sticks along the back. Once
I had the back of the picture glued and sticked (?), I added a little weight to
make sure the sticks…stuck. It sounds like I’m not making sense, but I totally
am.
Once your glue is dry, just take your handy dandy box
cutter and slice those sticks apart. I was initially worried that the puzzle
might be too hard since I only had the really narrow popsicle sticks, but I
gave it the good ol’ college try and was able to put them together with minimal
tears. Just to be safe though, I printed out a reference picture for the kids so they know what they're building.
Wouldn’t it be so cool if I could keep up this momentum
and fill you in on a bunch of little projects? Yeah, I don’t think it’s going
to happen either. A girl can dream : ) Have fun!
