Beach Crafts"Ocean in a Jar"
We all marvel at lava lamps, watching the slow moving waves when you shake it up. With beach crafts, you can make your own ocean in a jar, watch the blue waves ripple above your sea shells. Amazing!! Supplies You Need:  Bucket of soapy water Bleach Clear glass jar with a tight-fitting lid Seashells and dried starfish (from your favorite vacation spot, or you can pick up a bag of shells at any arts and crafts store) Blue food coloring 1/2 cup vegetable oil Hot-glue gunDirections: 1. For beach crafts, clean the seashells and starfish in a bucket of warm soapy water and a couple capfuls of bleach (let them soak and then rinse them off) 2. Fill the jar with cold water 3. Add the seashells, 2 to 3 drops of blue food coloring, and the vegetable oil (adjust color as needed) 4. To seal the jar, use the hot-glue gun and apply glue to the top edge of the jar, then quickly place the lid on the jar 5. When cool, remove the excess glue from the jar 6. Shake and watch awesome beach crafts come to life--the water and oil moves slowly and mysteriously!!

Crafts Made From Wire Hangers If you are one of the many who have converted from impractical wire hangers to a closet full of matching wood or plastic clothes hangers you are probably wondering what to do with all those wire hangers. Look no further. Here are some great wire crafts made with wire hangers. These wire crafts are fun for any school age child and you as well. Hanger puppets are a great craft to stimulate your child's imagination. For this craft you will need a wire hanger, an old pair of nylon stockings, yarn, pipe cleaners, felt scraps, buttons, wiggly eyes, glue, and scissors. First stretch the wire hanger into a diamond or oval shape and bend the hook of the hanger into a circle or oval and tape in place to prevent any body getting poked. Next, stretch the nylon stockings over the diamond or oval shape and tie off at the bottom. Then let your kids go wild decorating their puppets. They can make them look like faces or animals or whatever their heart desires. At the end, they can put on a puppet show for friends and family. return from Beach Crafts to Crafts for Teens
