Being Artistic With Stuff From Online Arts And Crafts Store

By Eloise Hewitt


There are a lot of things that you and your little one can do this summer. School is over, so remember to let your child experience summer the fun and exciting way. A good idea to spend the season together is making some crafts. There are a lot of online arts and crafts store where you can buy the materials. It is always fun and so much more exciting when you make it more productive and artistic.

This will also be a good thing to do with your little ones. Making a friendship bracelet will make them treasure their friends even more. They will be more thoughtful and could even be more generous. This project really is an all in one thing. Here are the steps on how to do it so you can get started.

The major thing you need will be strands of floss. Make sure that it is 3 foot long. You are going to need 4 strands of it in different colors. Also prepare a clipboard, pair of scissors and tape. You will only need a little amount of tape since you will only use it to secure the strands on the clipboard.

The first step would be to cut the floss to 3 foot long. Line all your floss according to the color sequence you want and tie 4 inches of it on the end. Secure it on the clipboard using the tape. After that, separate each of them.

Create a diagonal stripe. Get the first strand and put it on top of the second. Hold the second floss tight and make it as the base strand. Then, loop the initial floss around the second one. Pull them together towards the opposite direction to create a knot.

You must continue doing it until you will be able to do more strands. After that, loop it all again around the next base and start another tie. Just keep repeating it so you can make the next layer.

You must extend your patience during the whole process since you are dealing with kids. As much as possible, let them focus on what they are doing but never bore them. They should be guided all the time especially because one of the tools in making this bracelet which is the scissor is not so safe for them.

It is also great to praise her. Let her know that what she did is fantastic. It would make them feel even more eager to do more. Let her know that it is really very beautiful and that her friends would love to have one for sure.

Let them know how good their jobs are. Tell them that what they did are very nice and that their friends will love it. That is a way for them to feel more excited to give it out and make some more.
