Any suggestion for a "How To" project?

Question

I can't draw or any origami stuff..I was going to do, How to braid hair but someone else is doing that. PLease help! I'm n 8th grade and we are not allowed to cook.

Answer 1

Decoupage. It's easy. I did it in Brownies in second grade. Find something around the house or buy one of those little wood boxes at the craft store, and paint it. Then get some paper you like, wall paper, scrapbooking paper,or make copies of photos(don't use the originals, get color or black and white copies) and cut the designs out, or cut it in shapes. Then you stick it to the project, and coat the top of things with the same stuff. I use mod podge, it dries clear and hard. If you live in a high humidity area, you will want to clear coat it with some poly spray if it's something you want to keep.

Here are a couple of links to the how tos...

Answer 2

What else can you do? Or do you have time to learn a new skill, like how to crochet, how to comb a pet, how to weave or hook a rug or make a candy wrapper bracelet? Here are the instructions for the bracelet
