Making Peg Doll Angels

Increasing our Christmas range of children's' craft products we have introduced our peg doll angel kits.

 These kits make a Christmas angel which can be hung on the Christmas tree or in a child's bedroom.

 The whole pack is ideal for a group, such as Brownies, after school clubs or by teachers for their classes.

To make:

 First make the face by placing the adhesive face sticker on the round end of the peg.
Fold the silver doiley in half and half again.Cut a small part off the triangle- enough to enable the peg to slip through. 
To make the dress - push the dolly peg through the hole and glue into place. Allow to dry.
Cut approx 10cm tinsel string and wrap round the top of the dress. Use a dab of glue to secure.
To make the hair - wrap the gold thread around a piece of card, roughly the length of the you require for the angels' hair. Using another small piece of cord secure all threads together by tying a knot. Then tie the two ends together - this forms the hanging cord. Cut the bottom of the threads and you have the hair.
Glue the threads to the peg doll's head
To make the wings - glue the sequins on to the shiny silver wings.  Stick on to the back of the angel with the sticky pad provided.

    Making Quiet Critters

    Image
    Today we have been making critters out of craft pom poms. Have you heard about pom pom critters? So useful if you need to keep children quiet, for whatever the reason. We used glitter pom poms as they look like they have spiky hair all over them, due to their metallic strands. We think they look rather cool! Homemade Quiet Critters Pom pom critters can be used by teachers, in the classroom, or at home to help with behaviour management. They are named 'Quiet Critters' in this instance. For a teaching method of keeping the children quiet and on task, this can work really well. The idea being that all the creatures live in a soundproof container as they don't like to hear a lot of noise. If a child is quiet, they get the chance to look after a critter. If the child, then gets too noisy, the critter will dislike this and need to be moved to a quieter place. Critters do not need feet as the pom poms will stand alone without toppling over. However, if you prefer a cr

    Embroidery Stitches for Children

    Some simple embroidery stitches that children can learn to do themselves, many of which are variations of one type of simple stitch. Embroidery Stitches for Children The stitches here are purely based on a running stitch (up one hole, down the next)  or a cross stitch (up one then diagonally down one). Depending on the direction, or the angle of the needle, variations can be sewn. Teaching children to thread a needle if your child is right handed, (reverse for left handed), bring one end of the thread round until it meets the other thread, forming a loop and hold in your left hand. Hold tightly between your thumb and finger, insert the  needle into the little loop, eye first, and pull tightly away from the thread to make the loop firmer. Push the end of the loop through the eye of the needle. Threading the needle To begin sewing , turn to the back of the fabric and thread the needle though the raised weave of the canvas for 2 or 3 stitches. Push the needle through to the
