- Caitlyn & Ryley ready for skit night -
I am a youth leader for the girls in my church
& each year we go camping together.
We have a great time
{as you can see from the photo above}.
AND we make some awesome crafts!
This year, each girl made a "trading pin"
out of modeling clay.
She chose something that represented her.
{For instance, one girl is going to college in Hawaii this fall, so she made little pineapples.}
- After the clay is shaped, it is baked {instructions on the package} & pins are glued to the back -
As a surprise, we made
a headband for each of the girls.
We started with a strip of fabric,
{straight "stay stitching" all around the border helps keep the fabric from fraying}
then used scraps to make the flowers & leaves.
We didn't even bother with any fusible interfacing or pins,
just place your leaf & stitch the "veins" on it.
The colored scraps for the flowers are only about
2x2 inch squares.
And it's so simple - just scrunch the fabric & sew it
as you go.
Put two coordinating fabrics together if you want.
Each one turned out unique . . .
just like the girls we gave them to!
