What you'll need
- FOR DIAL:
- Plate or bowl
- Pencil
- Foam core or cardboard
- Scissors
- Card stock
- Marker
- Glue stick or double-sided tape
- Paper fastener — or create your own pointer (instructions below)
- Foam mounting tape or poster tack
- FOR FANCY POINTER:
- Button
- Bead
- Pipe cleaner
- Glue
- Tape
How to make it use a plate or bowl to trace a large half-circle onto a sturdy piece of backing material, such as foam core or cardboard, then cut it out.
- Cut pie-piece-shaped sections out of card stock — as many as your child wants to convey her changing moods. Write messages on the sections (ours are on colourful card stock circles) with marker, then attach the sections to the base with a glue stick or double-sided tape.
- Cut a pointer shape out of card stock and attach it to the base with a paper fastener — or create a pointer following the instructions in Step 4. Hang the dial with foam mounting tape or poster tack.
- To make our fancy pointer, string a button and a bead on a folded pipe cleaner, as shown. Make a hole in the pointer and in the centre of the dial's base. Add glue around the hole in the pointer, then feed the folded pipe cleaner through both holes. Fold over the ends and tape them to the back of the base.
Tissue Cherry-Blossom Tree
There's no need to buy Mom spring flowers this year when your crafty young
gardener can make ones that last longer.
Gather branches that have fallen outside; let dry, if necessary. Cut out
2-inch squares of pink tissue paper, pinch the paper tightly in the middle to
create blooms, and affix them to branches with white glue. Display in a tall
container, such as a canning jar, with the lid's centre removed.
