4 days till the end of my summer crafts class at the middle school I"m working at this summer. This is the first summer I taught crafts, (last summer I taught cartooning) and I'm glad that I got to. If offered the opportunity next year I'll definitely teach it again. I'm going to post some of the projects I did once I get a chance to upload the photo's, but in the meantime, here's the book that helped me to get some ideas. It's also a really good book for crafts in general and isn't necessarily geared for children. However, the book is really well-rounded and uses just about every material imaginable. You can take a peak at the book at any bookstore, I got this one from Barnes & Noble. If you do, make sure you look at the pages with the aluminum feathers and the lace vases, I love those ideas!!
The book is entitled 'The Big Ass Book of Crafts' by Mark Montano
Very nice layout for you blog. Glad to have found it!
ReplyDeleteI love the title of this book, and it looks like a whole lot of fun. I'll have to look for it. But as an elementary teacher,I think I'd better COVER the title if I have reason to use the book in school, or I'm afraid I'd be in trouble!
ReplyDeleteLOl, my I brought it in to my middle school summer class, and they took one look at the cover and then took a look at me and started cracking up. My summer school kids were sooo great this year!
