Swirly hanger

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting in like 2 days, but now I'm ready to post! Today I've decided to make a Swirly hanger (I don't know what to call it) and BTW
Credit to my friend who made this idea :)

Materials:

  • One plastic cup
  • Scissors
  • String
  • Paint (maybe)
How to:

  1. Take your plastic cup and scissors. Cut the cup in a swirly way and make sure it can swirl and doesn't fall apart. 
  2. Then, take the string and scissors again and punch/poke a hole in the top. Mine's cracked so I took tape taped it (obviously)
  3. Tie a knot and your done! (unless you want to paint it)
  4. Stroke up, stroke down, up, down, up, down with your paint. Ta da! You're done! This is my most easiest craft right now :)
Voila! Enjoy this craft at Birthday parties, your room or your classroom. Make more to create a spectacular display. ENJOY!!!!

Picture Cover

Okay, so this sounds that weirdness, putting a plastic covering over a picture, but this is actually fun! BTW this craft is easier than the jellyfish. Paint this, share this, and make these! Yay! That was me... lol. So lets start!

Materials:

  • One plastic CUP (not bottle)
  • Scissors
  • A small photo
  • Hole puncher (maybe)
  • String
  • Light paint (optional)
How to:

  1. First take your cup and scissors. If there is a rim, cut the rim off so it'll be easier to cut. Then, start cutting from bottom to top, just like how the jellyfish tentacles look like. Do this around the whole cup so that it looks like a broom.
  2. Use you hole puncher or scissors to cut a hole in the top of the cup, this will be where the string goes.
  3. Take your string and string it through the hole so that the cup hangs from the string. Tie a knot so the string won't slip out of the cup. Also, tie the knot at anywhere, but NOT at the bottom (not anywhere though...)
  4. You're done almost all of it! Now get your photo, punch or cut a small hole at the top of the photo and then slip the string through the hole and tie another knot to make it stay too! This is why I told you not to tie the knot at the very bottom.
  5. Now take your paint and paint a light layer of paint around the cup. Make sure you can still see the photo!
  6. Bravo! You're done this craft! Take this and give it to friends, family or just keep it in your room. Whatever you do with this, have fun with it!


I hope you enjoyed this! If not, please comment and I will try to make this better. Thank you and keep on coming for more crafts!

Plastic Bottle Jellyfish!

Hey!!!!!! Welcome to my blog! In honor of this EPIC day,(for me:) I'm gonna teach you how to make a plastic bottle jellyfish! CUTIE! This craft can be used for rooms, classrooms, lamps, lights, etc. So enjoy and have fun!

Materials:

  • 1 plastic bottle(empty and you will need to cut this bottle so don't pick something like a water bottle)
  • Scissors
  • String
  • Paint (optional)
  • Hammer and screw (you'll probably need this)
  • Parent (sometimes needed)
How to:

  1. First, cut the top part of the bottle (the part where you drink from) and the bottom part. (um... the bottom?)
  2. Then set the bottom part somewhere else and take your top part. Then cut little slits from bottom to top so that it looks like a broom design thingy... This will be the jellyfish's tentacles. (BTW keep the lid, you will need it!)
  3. Then, after you are done the jellyfish's tentacles, take the bottom part, which will be the jellyfish's head, and put it on top of the tentacles. Doesn't it look like a jellyfish now? (to me it does :)
  4. Now for the hard part. (for me) Take the tentacle part of the jelly fish and screw of the lid. Use your scissors to pop a hole in the lid and then take the string. Slot one end of the string into the hole and tie a double knot in that part of the string to make sure the string doesn't fall out.
  5. Screw back on the lid and be prepared for a thing that requires serious muscles or a screw and hammer (lol) Get the head of the jellyfish(the bottom part of the bottle) and grab your parent (you might need them) Get your screw, and stick it into a place near or on the center of the head of the jellyfish (not your head) Grab the hammer (you or your parent) and start hammering the screw. BAM BAM BAM!! (Bonus, if you make a hole in the center of the head of the jellyfish, I congratulate you!) 
  6. Hole: check! Now, it's time to stick the string through the hole. This time, you don't have to tie a knot! Yay! (that was me, I don't like tying knots...) 
  7. Now for painting, which is optional. This is the basics again. Take your brush, stroke up, down, up, down and again and again...


CONGRATS!!!!!! You know have a cute jellyfish to share with friends and family!
*Does it look like a jellyfish? If yes, please comment below, if no, comment below too and I will try to find the problem.*
Thanks for reading and...
ENJOY!!!
BTW this is mine :)
