Egg carton decorations

I've made these lovely egg carton flower (?) decorations for the Club space.

 Thought I'd put together a little tutorial if you feel like making some too!

I used these big egg carton flats, but you can use just regular ones too.

I used metallic acrylic paints.

 I also painted the inside, but that's juts me being overly efficient. 

Really, nobody's going to notice :P

I ten cut them out with a craft knife.

 Then you need a big needle and some yarn.

You knot the yarn and then punch your needle through.

Keep at it.

Make loads.

And then some.

You can see how I attached these together.

 Thay do cheer up the window.

And the sound they make.. so calming.

Listen for yourself.

Still seeing pixels

 Here's a panoramic pic of our main club room with my pixelated paintings on the back wall.

I've now taken a few weeks off, but will be back to it once we get our seven meter long dragon ready.

Yes.. a whole 'nother ball game that one!

I'll be sure to post that process, I'm looking forward to it :D

 Ba-ba-ba-ba-baaaatmaaaannnnnn!

 Sam and Frodo with hairy feet.

 

The Joker and Scooby Doo.

R2D2 and said BAAAATTTTMAAAANNNNNN!

 While painting Poison Ivy, it felt like I was painting one of those color blindness cards :P

The kids have never heard of The Invisible Man, but I had to throw some old school in there.

If you look at the little picture taped to the wall, you might be able to figure out who will be next...

my favorites

This is what February and March have looked like in my vase.

On the board

 At work we write our daily plan on the chalkboard.

On any average day it might look like this:

 

Or like this:

 Most days, I write on the board. But sometimes my co-workers might add something.

Or a kid reads it wrong..

I've had to record some fun ones :D

 No, nobody's Grandpa was hurt..

It was supposed to mean pop corn!

 "Susanna, what are the creeps we are having for snack?"

*snort*

 What a difference an "N" makes...

Finish or Finnish, heh.

They were finishing needle felted Easter eggs.

Although I was tempted to ask where the Norwegian or English eggs were :D
