Paper Mache Birds

This craft is super cute! If you know how to paper mache, it is pretty easy. First, take an egg or another round substance and carefully create a head, tail, and/or wings from newspaper. Cover the egg in paper mache. Carefully glue the wings, tail, and head to the covered egg. Let dry and cover with white paint. Let dry again and decorate! I attached a link of a how-to paper mache YouTube video for help! Enjoy!

Tea Cup Herb Garden

Hi everyone! I'm trying to do more eco-friendly crafts, so this one looks good. This craft is a tea cup herb garden! It's super cute and a great way to grow your own herbs. Just find some tea cups (or whatever decorated cup you want to use) add some soil, and plant some herb seeds! Don't forget to tend and water your plants! A creative way to show what herbs are growing are spoons! I attached a list of herbs so you can decide which ones you want to use below:

Lightbulb Flower Pots

This is the perfect craft for Earth Day. Take some incandescent light bulbs (that are being banned in the U.S. by the way) and take all the wires out from inside. Cut off half of the metal bottom part and then fill the light bulb halfway with water. Add some flowers, hang by string, and you're all done!
