Being Artistic With Stuff From Online Arts And Crafts Store

By Eloise Hewitt


There are a lot of things that you and your little one can do this summer. School is over, so remember to let your child experience summer the fun and exciting way. A good idea to spend the season together is making some crafts. There are a lot of online arts and crafts store where you can buy the materials. It is always fun and so much more exciting when you make it more productive and artistic.

A good idea would be making a friendship bracelet. You can ask your kids to do one and give it to the friend that they value the most. Or, they can also do as much as they can and give each one for her friends and some important people. Here are some instructions on how to do it.

For this to be easier for your kids, you can start with using only 4 strands of floss. Be sure that you choose the best colors and that they match for it to look more attractive. The other things that you need to prepare would be a pair of scissors, a clipboard some masking tapes to hold your floss.

The first step would be to cut the floss to 3 foot long. Line all your floss according to the color sequence you want and tie 4 inches of it on the end. Secure it on the clipboard using the tape. After that, separate each of them.

Create a diagonal stripe. Get the first strand and put it on top of the second. Hold the second floss tight and make it as the base strand. Then, loop the initial floss around the second one. Pull them together towards the opposite direction to create a knot.

Keep doing the same thing until you can have another set of strands. Loop everything around then start doing the next base. After the doing it, tie everything and repeat the first step until you reach the end of the strand.

You must extend your patience during the whole process since you are dealing with kids. As much as possible, let them focus on what they are doing but never bore them. They should be guided all the time especially because one of the tools in making this bracelet which is the scissor is not so safe for them.

It is also great to praise her. Let her know that what she did is fantastic. It would make them feel even more eager to do more. Let her know that it is really very beautiful and that her friends would love to have one for sure.

This does not just serve as something to do on summer but also a great to bond with your kids. Aside from giving it out to some friends, you can also use it as a business. It will be so much fun to make it and earn together. Keep that special bond you have with them by making something really great.
