Summer vacation is over, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop! This month's craft project is a called a "keepsake holder." Your keepsake holder will make it easy to remember all the great times you shared this summer, over last Christmas, or during the school year with friends, family and other clowns. This project is for our older friends, but our younger friends can ask a grown up clown for help! What you'll need: • Cardboard (like a clean box) • Scissors • Paint (in your favorite color) • Wood glue or lightweight super glue • Clothespins • Washi tape or permanent markers • 10-12 inches of string What you'll do: • Cut a wide circle out of the cardboard box. (If you like, you can cut out the center of the cardboard circle to make it look like a donut.) • Paint the part of the circle you want to face out. • Decorate the clothespins with washi tape or permanent markers. Attach clothespins with glue to the cardboard, with the pinch part of the clothespin facing out to hold your photos and keepsakes. Poke a small hole about an inch from the edge of the cardboard circle and run the string through it, tying the string together so that you can hang your holder on a wall. • Now, start attaching your summertime photos using the clothspins. Option: You could make your keepsake holder look like a sunflower. First, paint the cardboard a medium to light brown color. Let dry. Then, use a black marker to put small polka dots on the brown paint to look like seeds. Finally, paint all the clothespins bright yellow, and—TA-DAÜ- you have a sunflower keepsake holder! 14 0 September 2015 ° William Penn Life
