Plastic-bag bag!

Hey everyone! Like the new logo I made? I took a shirt that said I heart- so I covered up the bottom part so that it now says I heart art in the picture! (P.S. The logo is the place where it says what did lily make today at the top of my blog!) Anyway, I'm not sure if I already mentioned that my shool has a contest every year- the "RE-USE IT CONTEST" where the students-usually not teachers, I don't think they have the opportunity to win- but the students take recycled items and create craft projects and they have the opportunity to win. I am entering a pag made out of ironed plastic bags- I'll show a photo once I finish it today!

another pair of earrings!

I just went to Powells and I bought

a brand new used book. It is called

Dangles and Bangles

by sherri haab and michelle haab.

In it, there was a craft about making

earrings. Me and my mom made

pairs; she made strings of beads

and I made cherry earrings.

We also took pictures. (right)

Inspector Camera Glasses

Just now, I made two pairs of "inspector glasses" for my brother and I. They are pairs of old sunglasses which I attached plastic pepper and salt shaker lids to. On my pair of glasses I taped a glass soda bottle cap in the middle of the pepper cap. On my brother's, I put an X of two toothpicks behind the salt cap. I got the idea from the movie Toy Story Two. I really don't know what my brother is doing with them, but he's wearing them.

Home-made earrings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I made a pair of earrings because last night I bought a set of the dangly kind of earring hooks (the part you put in your ear only ) while I was shopping for cardboard for my box with my mom. I folded up two paper stars (I have a kit) and then looped string through the earring hook and then, taped that to the star. I bought the hooks at Michaels. 

Paper Moccasins

A few days ago, I made a pair of moccasins with a few pieces of paper I found lying around. I had been wanting to do so, since at school I was reading about Native Americans and how they made moccasins.
