Ladies Craft Night: Bi-triangles

All the Crafters is the place I'm calling out to ya!

The latest Ladies Craft Night was all about folding paper. It was the first Ladies Craft Night in a while and I knew we would need to ease back into group crafting slowly, so a simple paper craft would do the trick. We made bi-triangles with this Mr. Printables Blog tutorial. Bi-triangles are just what they sound like; a shape that has a triangle on both sides.

All you need to make bi-triangles are paper and scissors. For the most part, the ladies took the first first triangle as a trial and error but by the second and third they had the hang of it and were pretty proud of the shape their crafts were taking.

I made this mobile, as suggested by Mr. Printables; with fishing line, seed beads, and a few heavier beads at the bottom out of the group's efforts.

Mr. Printables is a great, creative, colorful kids crafting website. If you need a rainy day activity to take your mind off the lack of Spring, click your fingertips right on over to Mr. Printables.

Home Made Think-ets

Hello Tiny Crafters,

Soooooo, I've been putting off sending a much deserved care package to my WA friend Amy (who was featured in the Jello Brain Mold post and you'll see more of this year). After having a busier than expected December, I finally got the box out to her and her brother crammed as full as I could get the flat rate box.

Inside the box I sent a home made Think-ets kit. Think-ets are several games you play with 15 tiny items held in a baggie. I found a copy of the rules online so there is no need to buy the trinkets in the store. I started by raiding my crafts for tiny items like buttons, beads, and bells (I even stuck in a small paper crane). Think-ets re really good car and plane games for kids and adults since they're so small and easy for traveling.


Items to put in your Think-et pouch:

• Bells
• Buttons
• Change
• Beads
• Broken charms and single earrings
• Shells
• Doll house miniatures
• Safety pins
