DIY Keychain with clay- Craft 3

Craft idea contributed by Anushya (12 yrs)

Materials required

Fevicryl mouldit or air dry clay

Scissors

Thread

Any old key ring

Colours

Brush

Take a small ball of both the parts in mouldit clay and mix well to make a single ball. If you use air dry clay, this step is not required.

Flatten the clay to make a round/ heart/ triangle/ square/ star shape or any fancy shape that you like and find it easy to do.

Tip- Use a plastic sheet dusted with talcum powder for working with clay and dust your hands with talcum powder. It will be easy to work and get good shape. Also once dry, it can be easily removed from the plastic sheet.

Use the back end of a brush to make a small hole in the top so that we can attach the key ring there. Allow it to dry well.

Now paint the clay in whichever design you like on both sides or single side as you wish.

Once the paint dries, tie a small thread attaching the clay base on one side and key ring on another.

Your key ring is ready.

DIY Stationery Organiser - Craft 2

DIY Stationery Organiser- Creative idea from Anushya (12 yrs)

Materials required

1. Any waste box of medium size. This is a square box, you can use any shape. If the height is more than that of a pencil, cut it to 3/4 length so that it is easier to use the organiser.

2. Scissors

3. Glue

4. Cello tape

5. Colour paper or gift wrapping sheet to cover the box.

6. Small piece of cardboard

7. Glitter pens if using plain sheets (optional as it wont work on some shining sheets)

8. Scale

9. Pencil

10. Any foam stickers or small stickers

Cut the top opening of the box. Place the box on the colour paper and draw outlines to cover the 4 sides of the box. Not required to cover the base but can be done if you want.

Cut it and stick it in the respective sides. Measure the length and width using a scale in the inner side for making partition. Depending on size of the box, partitions can be more. Here only 1 partition is done as box is small. Draw the same on a thicker cardboard or you can use the top portion that was removed.  

Cut the partition piece, apply glue on three sides except the one that will face up and insert it into the box. Let it dry for 5 mins.

Now decorate the front side using foam stickers, or any other stickers, stones, glitter pens, sketch pens, ribbons..anything that you like. You can also write a quote if you want. Your stationery organiser is ready.
