3 fun crafts for anytime!!!

Me and my sisters found these crafts online and could not resist- they are so cute and easy!

1- A DIY(do it yourself) stuffed caterpillar!

Materials needed- One sock, cotton balls or crumpled up newspaper(I used newspaper),  pipe cleaners, small elastics or Rainbow Loom rubber bands( I used Rainbow loom bands), googly eyes, and hot glue or fabric glue( I used just regular old Elmer's school glue~ and the parts started to fall off after I took the picture), possibly fabric markers.

Instructions- open your sock(like you are about to put it on), and put either a small crumpled ball of newspaper, or approximately three cotton balls into the toe of your sock. put and elastic or rainbow loom band around the ball at the end of the newspaper. Continue this step until you reach the end of your sock. Cut your pipe cleaner to the  desired length(plus a little extra). Fold it into the desired shape of your antennas. Then, fold a small amount at the bottom of your antennae. Tuck the bottom folded portion under the first elastic/rainbow loom band. Glue on your googly eyes(I think it looks cute to do them up high and far apart. If you think it looks cute, leave it, if you want to add a mouth, you can use fabric markers and do so as you wish. I did not include a mouth on mine, because I thought it looked cute just the way it was. Ta-da!!! You have a finished product of a cute caterpillar friend! Below is the image of the example I copied while making mine, as well as images of My sister and my finished products.

                                                I copied my idea after this picture on Pinterest.
My finished product
                                                My sister Adelle's finished product.
The next Craft is A cute heart craft that you can frame or hang in your room. I am painting my room yellow and blue. My sister is too, and she made a cute blue and yellow one for her room. We made one that was black and red for my dad for Father's Day.

Materials needed- Acrylic paint, 2 pieces of paper,double-sided tape(regular tape works too), and a pencil with a new eraser.

Instructions- Fold one piece of paper in half, then cut a half heart, with the inside facing the fold, so your whole heart will be symmetrical. put double-sided tape on the back of your heart. If you are using regular tape, roll it over itself to make it sticky on both sides(I think you know what I mean). Dip the eraser of your pencil in the paint, and start stamping it onto the paper(it should be a complete circle shape. When the paint starts to fade, start going out from the heart for a cool effect. Go all the way around the heart, and then pull the heart off of the paper. It looks AMAZING!!!

Here is the image on Pinterest that I did mine off of.
 On the left is the one for my sister's room, and the one on the right is the one that we worked together on.

The third and final craft is homemade maracas. I made these up, I did not find them on Pinterest.
Materials needed-rice or beans(I only had rice), 4 Dixie cups, 2 pencils, strong packing tape or duct tape, and sharpie paint pens(or just regular sharpies).


Instructions-Poke a hole in the bottom of one cup with one pencil. Securely tape the pencil to the cup from the inside and the outside. Fill one Dixie cup with rice or beans(or even both!). put the other dixie cup on top of the first one. Securely tape them together. Decorate your finished maraca with sharpies or sharpie paint pens. Repeat this process to make your second maraca(unless you only want one).

THE FINISHED PRODUCT!!!
