PAPER WEIGHTS

Paper Weights from Stones

List

Stones either smooth garden or from the garden nursery or hardware store. If you really want to splash out you could buy some gem stones but they must be large enough.

Sealer + brush

Craft Podge + brush

Serviettes with small pattern / pictures

Varnish or sealer + brush

Apron

Clear clean working space.

Remember stones are living so you should put one coat of sealer on to start. Allow to dry.

Carefully take the backing off the serviette. They are often in 2 layers and sometime 3 layers. You only need the top layer and it is easy to tear by mistake.

Carefully tear around the pictures. If little ones are decorating the stones I would recommend you tearing all the pieces first.

Spread a little podge on the stone to cover the top side and carefully place the torn picture onto the stone.

Put more podge on the brush and gently, from the middle podge the picture onto the stone.

Allow to dry.

Put at least 2 more coats of podge on the stone allowing each coat to dry.

Finally seal the paper weight.

You may if you wish put a little cork or similar underneath so that furniture does not get scratched.

CAT FINGER PUPPET

Every one favorite and can be made in so many different colors.

COW FINGER PUPPET

Lots of play fun here with this little cow. Why not make a complete farmyard!

ANIMAL HAND PUPPETS

Great fun for kids on rainy days ... you can glue or sew the pieces in place. Even if the main part is sewn its easier just to glue the extra bits, eyes and nose etc. in place.

Cut a pattern out from newspaper or a brown bag.

 The template for the main part of the Hand Puppet is always the same and you just add the animal characteristics.

Don't forget to cut some extra for whiskers or use some stiff string.

FINGER PUPPET PIG INSTRUCTION

Finger puppets are so simple to make and a delight for little ones to play with. The puppets give children the chance to make up their own stories and help them to learn to express them selves.

All our felt Craft Packs are arranged so that your child can either glue the edges together or sew them if they are a bit older. Everything is cut out ready to be put in place.

The base of the finger puppet is always the same and can be copied from our picture. Don’t make it too small remember the edge had to be sewn or glued.

4 Ears (2+2) 2 larger PINK for the OUTER EAR and 2 slightly smaller WHITE for the INNER EAR.
