Body Drawing

Personalize a wall hanging with pictures of your favorite things!


Acquire paper grocery bags by any means necessary. Cut open the bags. Tape the ends together to make a piece of paper that is a little longer and wider than yourself.
Some may need more bags than others.

Lie down on the paper, and ask a friend to trace around your with a pencil. Cut out the shape.
 

Cut out pictures of things you like from magazines. If you don't know what a mag-a-zine is, then just print out images of things you like. Full color. On an inkjet printer.

Take your images and glue them to the shape. Did I mention that each full-color page will cost you an average of 32 cents? Assuming it takes you 20 pages to cover the shape, that adds up to $6.40. What else, other than feeding  a hungry person for 33 days, can you get for that price? Thank you inkjet companies for making this possible!

Hang up your body drawing. Awesome! I hope you like cats and dogs!

Also a fun way to decorate your drunk, passed-out friends!

Wearin' O' the Green

 Does this look fun? Comfortable? You bet it does! From James Perrin:





Shamrock shapes are cut out and pasted onto this Saint Patrick's Day  mask, which is really a super-sized shamrock! Outline mask with green yarn; use more yarn for ties and to keep it in place.


Remind those who have trouble cutting a shamrock that three hearts overlapped at the points make one shamrock.








Thank you, James! This mask certainly looks cute on this child! I bet she enjoyed making it, and who wouldn't? It's fun and harkens back to youth! I bet anyone who made this mask would look just as darling wearing it!
