Candle

Yesterday at our 4-H meeting we made a candle out of a little milk carton, melted wax, ice cubes, and some string. The first one my brother made broke so he had to make a new one. My candle is purple but my brothers is red.

Medieval weapons.

For History last week we learned about King John, Richard the Lionhearted, and Robin Hood. For the craft we made a quiver with arrows.





Things need for this project are: tape,scissors brown paper, toilet paper or paper towel tube, glue, straws, colored paper any color, and some yarn.




Quiver.


1. Cut the brown paper so it will cover the tube.


2. Glue the brown paper on the tube.




3. Cut a small circle that will cover one end of the tube so the arrows don't fall out.




4. Then cut a piece of yarn and tape it to the bottom of the quiver and the inside on the top.







Arrows




1. Cut one end of the straw to a point.




2. Cut out arrow heads and tape or glue them to the pointed end of the straw.



3. Then cut some feathers for the back of the straw.

Scarf with pockets

The other week when we were shopping my mom and I saw a scarf with pockets and in dance we get "Big sisters" and I wanted to get my big sister one and mom said we could make one at home. So when we got home we made too so that I could have one. The one my brother is wearing is the one I'm going to give the one I'm wearing is mine!

Recycled wallet

For Christmas from Santa I got the American Girl Tear Up This Book. After I looked it over I made a wallet out of a magazine page. Here is the directions.

Things you need: old comic book or magazine, clear packing tape, scissors, ruler, and a pencil.

1. Cut out a 7 by 6 from the comic book or magazine.

2. Cover both sides of the paper with the clear packing tape trim the extra tape with the scissors.

3. Fold up 2 1/2 inches long ways.

4. Tape the sides up.

Here is a picture of the one I made!

5. Put some money in it and fold in half.

Simplicity 2755.

This Wednesday my mom and I made our dog Nikki two new outfits one is pink with a princess print the other is green with a star print. It only took us one night to make them, we used Simplicity 2755. I think she is right in between a extra small and a small. Nikki is tired of changing her outfit because every time I'm going to change it she runs away and goes under the table! and I have to chase her down.

Here she is in the green and star one.

Here she is in the pink and princess outfit.

A few of my favoret things!

The other day in history the other day we learned about knights and the coat of arms they would put on there shield so you would know who they were. So we were suppose to draw a coat of arms of our own and decorate it so you could tell it was you when you were in your armor. Mine has a basketball in the top left next to it is the lawn mower because in the summer and fall I LOVE to mowe the lawn next in the top right is a pair of tap shoes because tap is my favorite style of dance under neath them is my most favorite chicken and she is the runt of the flock in the bottom right is my goat Eeyore because he is so cute and I love him soo much in the bottom left is a pair of Roller skates because its so fun to do and in the middle is a book with Nikki behind it she is back their because I did not have very much room to put her any were unless she was side ways and I put a book on because I love to read and do it every day. Here is my coat of arms.

Happy Breakfast!

For breakfast this morning my dad made me eggs. When they were done cooking the yokes were perfectly lined up on the top of the whites, we thought it looked happy so my dad cut a crust off a piece of bread and put a green olive for a nose.
