Art Crafts

Some of the materials used for art crafts are very well known, everyday objects. Others include beads, buttons, badges, clocks, close pins, feathers and fur. Felt, foam, glass, glitter, and leather all make excellent craft materials. Paper is one of the most widely use material for crafts, and is easily acquired, folded and cut.

A fun art craft to try is making puppets out of paper bags and then throwing a puppet show. The materials needed are very basic, a paper bag and a marker are all that is really needed, but googly eyes, yarn for hair and different colored felts for clothes are an excellent addition. Don’t forget the glue. After enough puppets are made, throw a show and make those puppets live.

Many art crafts are seasonal creations. During winter time, making paper snowflakes and Christmas cards are popular crafts. There are special crafts for almost every holiday. A popular thanksgiving craft is drawing turkeys by outlining a hand. The outlined fingers become the turkeys back and feathers, and with a little red squiggle coming off the outlined thumb a turkey appears. Coloring and decorations like real feathers complete the illusion.
