Make Paper Bag Mushrooms

Need a fun activity to occupy the kids for the afternoon? How about making an army of mushrooms for your lawn? They’re made from paper lunch sacks, and the technique is pretty simple to master. You can also paint them for additional fun and color. The project is brought to you by the Spore Project, an effort to promote awareness for support of art in schools. [click here to learn how to make a mushroom] [via]

This would be a fantastic community art project for a children’s fair, or would be a fun activity for a birthday party (woodland fairy or gnome theme?), or scout group.

You can get paper sacks at the grocery store, restaurant supply store (like Smart & Final or Cash & Carry), or warehouse store.

Project Estimate:

Paper bags, $1
Bamboo skewers, $1
Hot glue, on hand

Total: $2

Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
