Easy Crafts

[Guest guest]

I was thinking what are the easier crafts to do when

your hands just don't cooperate. It really helps your

self esteem when you creat a project.

One is woodburning. You can burn lines not just using

pressure but by how long you leave the burner on the

wood.

Decopodge is another. The worst part of this is

cutting out the paper. You don't need to learn how to

draw and you can make a project to be proud of. One

project I use decopodge to do is Christmas ornaments

made from those AOL and other cd discs you get in the

mail. I deco and sometimes glue pictures onto them. I

use pictures from magasines etc. I also use pictures

I print out of my printer but I laminate them on a

small laminator I got From a craft store for under

$20.00 then glue them on. If you try to deco stuff

printed out of a printer the ink will run. I paint

the side with the writing on it with acyrilic craft

paints and put a big picture on it. I have made one

every year at christmas for my grandson and and his

great grandparents that on the painted side has

pictures I took of events throught the year of him

like halloween etc. The other side I put his school

picture and date the ornament.

Also rubber stamping is a good one for making cards

and more.

I need to have crafts that require no drawing talent

since I can not even draw a stick person that would

look right.

You just have to remember moderation. Do a little and

go on to another.

I have included a couple of pictures of the crafts I

have done to show you.

Those are really nice! I love the woodburning -- I tried that years ago but didn't do anything that complicated.
