Foam Sheet Glasses Boz: Arts and Kites Ideas

Are you a camp director, teacher, or homeschool mom looking for a fancy arts and crafts idea for your children? Or maybe you are a recreation director at a senior center or day care and could use a new project. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting and fun for all. This glass case can be used, given as a present, or converted into a necklace purse.

To make the glasses case, you will need the following simple components: a square of craft foam, plastic or large blunt needles, lanyard lace or thick yarn. Cut 2 rectangles from the foam, each 3-1/2 inches (9 cm.) by 6 inches (15 cm.). With a orifice punch, make holes on three flanks of each rectangle, leaving one short side unpunched. Make the holes 1/2 inch from each other and allow at least 0.25 inch between the orifice and the border of the craft foam. The holes need to line up so that the 2 pieces can be tangled together. If you are preparing the craft for small children, you ought to make the holes yourself. Otherwise, the crafters can do this step if you have sufficient pairs of hole punches.

At this level the crafters can cut decorative forms from other colors of craft foam, or you can buy sets of easy-cut foam forms. If you are making the craft at a special event, like summer Bible school, choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. For instance, if the Bible school or camp has a cowboy theme, find shapes that fit well, for example boots, cowboy hats, and stars. Let the children choose the shapes they prefer and glue on as desired. You might also like to provide beads or sequins to glue on as well, especially if the crafters are a bit older.

The next step in this arts and crafts idea is to thread the plastic needle with the yarn or lanyard lace. Yarn might be a bit easier to handle, but lanyard lace is shiny and attractive. In a pinch, some professors of small children use a bobby pin as a needle. It is certainly a safe alternative. Simply loop the yarn through the opening and use the open end of the bobby pin as if it were the point of the needle. The children can now begin to lace the front and rear of the glasses case jointly.

To make this arts and crafts idea into a necklace purse, simply attach a piece of lanyard lace to each corner making a long handle. Kids will have fun using this case as a place to store secret notes and small objects. If they'd prefer, they can give the glasses case to a parent, grandparent, or friend who wears glasses. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting for all.
