Part II to Reader's Question- Eyeglass Holders

I think these eyeglass holders are so cute. They are easy and practical. I thought they would also make a good project for the boy scouts to do for the nursing home residence.

You will need: piece of craft fur, craft foam, marker and ruler, buttons, sewing needle and strong thread, fabric and foam glue and clothes pins.










Cut the fur into 7 1/2 x 10 inches
Cut foam into 6 x 6 1/2 inches












Place the fur side down on the table and glue on foam piece. The foam piece should lay flat on the bottom edge and should lay long wise.







Mark 2 dot on the foam. 2 inches up from the lower edge and 2 1/4 inch from the edge.





Sew buttons on the fur side using the black dots as guides.











Put glue on the side half way up the foam. Fold the
foam in half.





Use clothes pins to hold while glue dries.






















Use the buttons as a guide and cut 2 holes in the top flap. Make sure the holes are large enough for the buttons to fit through.




Fold over top flap and push through buttons.










I think these would also make great presents for grandparents or any one who wears glasses or sunglasses.

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
