Puzzle Piece Christmas Tree


Merry 2-days-till-Christmas, everyone! I hope you'll have fun making these!
Step 1: Cut out the shape of a Christmas tree from paper.
Step 2: Peel the pictures off of a bunch of puzzle pieces (Enough to cover the tree).
Step 3: Glue the peeled puzzle pieces on the tree shape, covering it.
Step 4: Paint the tree green. Decorate with paper and/or glitter glue.
You can also glue the puzzle pieces in a circle to make a Christmas wreath. Have fun!

Easter Chess Set


I know were far away from Easter, but try this out!
Step 1: Cut off the bumps from some empty egg cartons (I don't know how many pieces on a chess set, but that many)
Step 2: Paint half the bumps pink and the other half yellow.
Step 3: Give the animals features with paper, markers, and googley eyes.
Step 4: Cut out a square piece of wood, and paint it like a chess board.
I'm sorry I don't know how many chess pieces there are in a set, or how big a chess board is, but I don't play chess, and I think only professional chess players would know that stuff. Anyway, I hope you have fun with Easter chess (Go bunnies!)

Kitty Can!


Step 1: Acquire tin can (No label)
Step 2: Paint the can black (Or brown. Whatever color you want)
Step 3: Cut features out of paper/felt and pipe cleaners and glue them on the can.
Step 4: Store anything in it. I think it would be a good cat treat can.
You don't have to make a cat. It could be a dog, a bird, a bunny. Anything.

Heart Bookmark


You can make this out of felt or paper. Sure, this looks simple. But with the magic of glue and markers...AMAZING! You could make a bunch of them and glue them all over a normal strip-of-paper bookmark. You could make them all pretty by decorating them with pieces of felt and markers. They don't even have to be bookmarks. These could be great valentines. OOH! Or you could make a bunch of these and glue them all in a big heart shape! The possibilities are endless!
P.S. I'm only posting the day after my first post because I want to. Don't expect me to keep on posting every day.

Button Bracelet/Necklace


Hello. This is my first post on The Craft Committee. I will post cool crafts and how to make them. Not always how to make them. The sources I get them from do not always tell me. But you can probably guess for some of them. Take this button bracelet, for example. Pinterest did not tell me how to make this, but I assume it's just tie some buttons on a string and vĂ³ila!
I will not post on a regular schedule. Don't expect me to. Also, please note that I am not stealing these ideas from they're sources. I am simply putting them in another place so they are more likely to be discovered. In every post I will list the source I got it from. Well, I hope you enjoy making button bracelets and necklaces!
