Half pompoms, the simplest and quickest introduction to pompoms make great space flowers
Any old bits of wool? Use them up like this. This really has to be the easiest pompom ever, and that's becuase it is a half pompom. Because of this, even small children can easily make one of these. No pompom ring is needed, all you have to do is wrap the wool round a piece of card, and You don’t need much to make a Space Flower.
You don't even need wool!
You could try plastic carrier (grocery)bags or sandwich bags, plastic bin-liners or even string to make the pompom flower heads. Have a look at the Spooky Flowers project to see what a plastic bag pompom can look like (although that project uses a whole, traditionally made pompom). Once you have made the flower heads, all you'll need is an old bottle cap and a piece of wire coat hanger and you can make a flower in about five minutes. Make a whole bunch with all differnt colours, they make great ornaments and lovely gifts.
TIP:
Cut the coat hanger into a long piece and bend it straight so that you can choose a range of different lengths for your flowers.

Lovely little MicroBooks
|
|
Sitting in the car on those long journeys back wards and forwards from mum’s to dad’s, going on that special weekend or second holiday with their dad, often kids of separated parents do a lot of traveling and have a lot to keep in their heads. So what better than a little pocket sized notebook to write and sketch down all those important thoughts. These fun little origami MicroBooks are a really simple project that anyone can tackle. They’re easy to fold up and really nice to fill in and keep. They’re perfect for kids because they don’t have loads and loads of pages that will never get written in, and they're small enough to fit in a pocket or a small bag. They've got to be the simplest form of origami on the web.
My kids showed me how to make a micro-book in about five minutes, it's so quick and easy.
The instructions and the lovely graphic printables are free to download.
So even if you only have a few minutes to spare, this is a perfect project to do.
There’s a couple of holiday diaries, perfect for keeping happy memories of a lovely time with dad. There are books for doodling, and writing, and even ones packed with interesting facts, enough to keep anyone busy.
There’s a special new MicroBook full of all the best wizard’s spells, charms, hexes and curses, just perfect for all those budding wizard Harry Potter fans. Click here to be magically transported to the spells MicroBook page.
