Ha ha I'm glad you are all lovin' them so far. And you've only gotten a sneak peek; there's still bling to add! It is so much fun to set a group of kids loose with a variety of crafty materials (yarn, foam, fluff, pipe cleaners, wire, ribbon, lace, etc), some tacky glue and a Popsicle stick for applying the glue, some brief instructions and their 8-year old imaginations. I postured myself at the glue gun for zapping on eyeballs and ears, and the rest they figured out for themselves. Today in another class I discovered a gnome with the tiniest eyes possible and the biggest beard. And there's a girl gnome with curly pipe cleaner hair, and someone built a little broom with yarn and a Popsicle stick, and.. and... and..
So yes, I HEART THEM TOO, and the enthusiastic kids who are creating them.

ReplyDeletewhat did you use as an armature to make the arms on the bottle?
ReplyDeleteIt's just tightly rolled/folded newspaper twisted to shape, taped, and hot glued and taped in place. Easy!
DeleteShaped and tape aluminum foil would work well, too.
