Craft Corner

WELCOME TO MY CRAFTY COLUMN!

Every month I share a crafty activity for you to try at home. Why not like my facebook page www.facebook.com/thecraftyfoxes and follow me on instagram @thecraftyfoxes to find out more about adult and children’s craft workshops for 2023.

This months’ make has a Summer Seaside theme. So get yourself down to the beach and start searching for shells so you can make these seaside magnets.

YOU WILL NEED:

Red (or orange) and green paint and a brush. Assortment of large shells, small pieces of coloured foam, pipe cleaners, googly strong glue and some magnets.

Paint the shells

Cut the pipe cleaners into small lengths to make the crabs legs and claws.

Alternatively cut small pieces of foam if doing the turtle

Glue into place

Turn over and add a small square of foam glue into place

Glue the magnet onto the foam www.thecraftyfoxes.co.uk

Add the googly eyes.

TOP TIP… what other sea creature magnets can you make from shells? Maybe a fish, or an octopus. I’d love to see your photos. Perfect for keeping your holiday postcards on your fridge!
