These stars make a nice gift, and also would be beautiful as a group project, with each child’s picture displayed.
What You Need: 6 craft sticks, blue tempera or acrylic paint, glue, silver glitter (or glitter glue pen), magnet, photo.
How You Make It: Paint craft sticks blue and let dry. Arrange 3 sticks in a triangle shape and glue together where they join. Repeat this with the other 3 craft sticks. Place 1 triangle on top of the other, rotated to form Star of David shape, and glue together. Once dry, use glue to “draw” along the star. Sprinkle with silver glitter. Once dry, use star as template to trim a photo to fit in the center of the star and glue or tape it behind the star. You can glue a magnet to the back, or hang the star.

Thursday, July 19th, 2007What You Need: 5 Popsicle sticks, blue craft foam, tan cardstock or construction paper, scissors, foam fish and other sea creatures, googly eyes and glue.
How You Make It: Cut wave-like notches along top edge of blue craft foam. Arrange 5 Popsicle (craft) sticks as shown so that they overlap one another in a fishbowl shape and glue the sticks together at their ends. (Make sure the Popsicle stick “frame” is smaller than the foam piece.) Trim blue foam piece so it’s slightly smaller than the craft stick frame. Cut tan cardstock about 1 inch high in a curvy shape for “sand” and glue to bottom of blue foam. Then glue the frame over the foam. Fill with foam fish, starfish, sea horses, whales and so on. Add googly eyes and you’re done!
