FLYMAN

Turn an action figure into a fly man!

This is basically a version of the Fairy Angel that I made

http://craftsandcreationswithkathy.blogspot.com/2009/09/fairy-angel.html

For this project I used a 20oz Diet Coke Bottle, and made didn't curve the wings but made them for straight to resemble that of a fly and used a blue rubber band around the center of the wings and then around the action figures waist, then used a few dabs hot glue gun between the wings and the action figure to secure them.

Popsicle Stick Barrel

This is a quick, cheap and easy decoration for a garden or imaginative play with a Barbie or G.I. Joe doll. Items used:

• Tin can
• Popsicle or craft sticks
• Hot Glue Gun and glue sticks
• 2 thick rubber bands

If you are going to use the barrel outside, cut out the bottom of the can also.

Use a dab of glue on the popsicle stick to hold it to the can.

After you have a few sticks glued down, put the rubber band around bottom but a bit towards the center of the can and slide the remaining sticks around the can until all are in place.

Add a dab of glue to the underside of each stick (you will have to lift it up a bit) to secure it to the can. Slide the other rubber band on the can and adjust both so one is more towards the top and the other more towards the bottom.

White Paper Bag Mushroom

This is another version of the paper bag mushroom for my garden. Here is a link to the original one that has links to where I first saw this on Dollar Store Crafts and a link to the complete tutorial on how to make this.

For this one, I used a McDonald's bag that I immediately removed a Big Mac box from one I got it from the drive-thru so it would not get contaminated.

I used white shimmer acrylic paint for the top of the mushroom.

Instead of rubber bands to secure the top and bottom, I used white twist ties and for the stake in the ground, I used a white plastic knife.

One it was put together I sprayed the entire thing with clear acrylic spray to protect it from the elements.
