DIY Boxwood Wreath with Ribbon

16:32 Natalie Karine 0 Comments


Hi there! I’ve been looking for a new spring/summer wreath for a little while now. I finally found this faux boxwood wreath at Homesense for only $15!  I added this sweet striped ribbons that I found at Walmart for 4$ and BAM! I have this super awesome wreath!!

A little more simple than my last spring wreath!


Materials: wreath, ribbon, glue gun
and a metal D ring from a sewing store (to hang)
1 - "string" the ribbon through the wreath. Pull the ribbon through 
the D ring. Glue the two ribbon ends together.
2 - Make a bow.
3 -  Add a little piece in the middle and secure to the ribbon with glue.
I used a lighter to melt the edge, so that it wouldn't fray
Hung the D ring on a screw on the door. Looks great!

Earth Day Pledge Craft

12:50 Natalie Karine 0 Comments



Happy Earth Day! I hope everyone is enjoying this gorgeous day outside! This past Friday, we decided to recognize Earth Day by making a pledge to help the Earth. Every student decided on one thing they could promise to do to help our planet: like recycling more, turning off the tap when you’re brushing your teeth, etc. Then they wrote it under their drawing of the Earth and “signed” it with a handprint! The idea came from a post I found on Pinterest, I simply translated it from “I pledge” to “Je m’engage à”! Turned out great! And the kids lived dunking their hand in paint!! 

Start by drawing your Earth!
"sign" your pledge with a handprint!
Looks great!
They all look so great!

Today was a winter storm day at school. After waking up and realizing that school buses were cancelled and I would have less students, I wondered what craft could I make. I wanted something simple like a bookmark but a little more exciting. Since we are doing instructions in French class, I decided to write instructions on how to make a hotdog bookmark. The kids loved them and they were so simple to make!

     Materials
    ✂ Construction paper
     ✂ Scissors
     ✂ Glue
     ✂ Hole punch
     ✂ String
     ✂ Markers

Looks great!

17:22 Natalie Karine 0 Comments



Hi there! Today, my students reading assignment was a step-by-step guide to make some sweet little birds... from clothespins! We are looking at instructions right now in French class: how to write steps, use proper verbs, etc... and what a perfect way to combine reading with crafting! I painted a bunch of clothepins the night before, to spare the mess, but they turned out so cute!

Materials:
 ☁ Clothespins
 ☁ Feathers
 ☁ Google eyes
 ☁ Orange cardstock
 ☁ Glue (the stronger, the better)

 Instructions here
They even fit on a pocket!
A fancy peacock!!
