Crafty Birds - Making Cardboard Teapots

Last week The Crafty Crow posted a call for celebrating crafts from around the world. As I'm from England, and the girls have recently learned to sing "I'm a Little Teapot," I thought it would be awfully fun to make teapots...



Materials:
Great, big piece of cardboard - we used foam board, but you could also use a large box
Paint and brush
Ribbon
Colored paper
Glue
Tape
Pen
Exacto knife or scissors

Step 1: Draw teapot on cardboard

 
Step 2: Paint


Step 3: Cut out teapot


Step 4: Cut out decorations for teapot (the girls asked for circles and flowers)


Step 5: When the teapot paint is dry, glue decorations



Step 6: With heavy tape (we used white duct tae) measure and attach ribbon to back

  4. they are gorgeous! Visiting from multiples blog and yes, you can keep the house tidy.

    restrict their toys and teach them to tidy up before taking out something else - but don't make it too difficult for them :)
