Father's Day Key Holder - You are our Hero!

In this Father's Day, we made a special key holder for Daddy.

We used glass decoration colors to decorate one side of the plastic key holder.

First, we wrote 'You are our Hero!' inside the key holder. We wrote the mirror image of the words.

After letting the words dry completely, we decorated the background.

We used rainbow colors as background. This is my son's favorite when doing crafts.

I think we had put the color too thick. The blue and purple colors are too dark that we hardly see the word 'Hero'.

On the other side of the plastic key holder, we printed and put a small family photo.

That looks so great. Daddy loves it so much!

Why we use the words 'You are our Hero!'? Because we watched the movie 'The Avengers' recently. lol

We have also baked a cake with the same theme. Will post it later.

Glass Decor Color Project - Photo Frame

I like the stained glass / windows in church so much. When sun shines on them, they are so colorful and pretty.

I always think that it is so good if I can make one by myself.

One day, when I walked around a craft shop, I discovered that there was glass décor color for making stained glass.

This one is special because you can draw your own picture on a plastic sheet, let it dry completely and then peel off your work and stick it on glass, mirror or tiles.

As I was afraid that my work could not be peeled off successfully, I also bought a photo frame too.

 

I  filled in colors on the photo frame with my son. That is so funny and the final work really looks good!

Bottle Crafts - Water Rocket

In summer holiday, I let my son to learn how to make water rocket in a YMCA class.

The water rocket that can be flied high in the sky after injecting water into the bottle.

But this class truly let me down.

The teacher only demonstrated how to make the nozzle and flied the rocket in the class.

She did not give my son any material to make the nozzle and asked us to buy them ourselves.

That is crazy! The cost of the class should have included the materials necessary for making the water rocket, I assume.

We really don't know where to buy the nozzle. Even if we know, we do not have the tools to cut the bottle cap in order to insert the nozzle.

At last, we give up completing the water rocket for my son!

My son, of course, feel disappointed about that!


But I like the rocket decorated by my son. That looks great, especially using strings to make curves and put circle foams in between the curves. That make it looks special!

Though this rocket cannot fly high in the sky, it is a great toy. My son likes using his hands to fly it. lol!

Bottle crafts - 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns

There was a big lantern show in a park in last Saturday.

After having dinner with our families (we usually eat with family on this festival), we went to watch that.

Wow! The show was amazing, especially this big dome made by plastic bottles!

The outside wall was made by very big plastic bottles, like those we use in office with taps.

Thousands of small plastic bottles were hanged on the ceiling inside it. That looked so grand!

Recycle plastic bottles - Bowling

One day, my son told me that he has never played bowling and wanted to try that.

But playing bowling in Hong Kong is quite expensive and the balls are quite heavy. He may not strong enough to play that.

Suddenly, I remembered that we had saved some empty plastic bottles for crafts. They could be act as the bottles for bowling.

My son enjoys this, lol!

Save two more plastic bottles will make this bowling game perfect!

Plastic Bottle Recycling - Eating Utensil / Pencil Holder

We stored a lot of used plastic bottles at home.

I discover that besides making kids crafts, it can be used as a eating utensil or pencil holder to save space and make things look more tidy.



At first, I use pen to draw how will the bottle be cut. Then cut it accordingly.

I cut a 2-3 cm diameter hole for hanging on poles or hooks.

 

Plastic Bottle Balloon Air Gun

Examinations have passed, yeah!

Though summer holiday has not yet started, my son has much leisure time to play now.

We had kept some plastic bottles for crafts.

We thought and thought about what we should do with them.

Suddenly we remembered an experiment or game mentioned in a science magazine...

That is to make 'air' gun with plastic bottle and balloon.

After completion, when we pull the balloon and hand off, the 'air' will like a bullet which can shoot the target.

Bottle Kids crafts - creative stamp

This kids crafts idea is so creative.

Can't imagine that a plastic bottle can be a stamp.

The flowers are so beautiful!

I think it would be even more beautiful if we use changing color for flowers, say from red to pink, from purple to blue, etc.
