Leather Like Vase  Art activities are a great way to combine gift giving with family time. This leather like vase for example, is a challenging activity for your older child, as well as a great gift idea. Your child can feel the satisfaction of creating a gift from the heart, for a Teacher, Mother's Day or Grandmother gift! You'll need: Empty bottle or jar Masking tape Shoe Polish Cloth Rag Completely cover your clean glass bottle, with torn or cut pieces of masking tape. Making sure that the pieces of tape overlap each other. With an old rag, rub the shoe polish into the tape. Leave to dry. Fill with flowers or a plant. Tips...... Younger children should not participate in the shoe polish stage. Sometimes a second rubbing or glossing adds to the beauty. Egg Carton Flowers Add these home made flowers to your newly created vase! If you have an older and younger child, they can work as a team. The eldest can make the vase and your little one can paint the flowers. You'll Need : Cardboard egg carton paint or markers Pipe Cleaners Cut the cups away from the rest of the egg carton. Cut 4 - 6 petals on each flower so that is resembles a tulip. Bend and curl petals anyway you think looks best. Poke a hole through the center of the cup. Thread the pipe cleaner trough the hole and knot to create the stem. Use more Pipe cleaners to bend and shape leaves then attach to stem by twisting on. You are now ready to decorate your flower with paint or markers.
