Turtles out of bottle caps

How to make toy turtles out of bottle caps: take a plastic bottle cap and a sheet of construction paper. Put the cap onto the paper and trace it around. That will be the turtle's body. Add a head, paws and tail. Cut them out, then just glue the cap onto the body. That's it. Try also making a few turtles of different sizes and stacking them on top of each other.

Thanks for sharing a very cute idea...my playgroup families had a great time. We mounted them on painted paper plates that we used as the sea.

Hello Inna! That is a great idea. I made this kind of turtles but instead of bottle caps I used half of the walnut shell. I also made mice out of walnut shells, making the tail out of string.

Floral greeting card with spiral flowers

-

I tried to make a greeting card with three-dimensional flowers. The techniques is described in detail in " Paper Crafts Workshop: A Beginner's Guide to Techniques & Projects ". In short: Draw a swirl on coloured paper. Cut the paper following the swirl design with decorative scissors (waves of different types). Start cutting from the outside to the centre. Roll the swirl from the outside towards the centre around a thin round stick or using a quilling tool. Remove the stick and let the rolled paper free. It opens a little into a flower. Pull the centre (a small circle) of the swirl and glue it underneath. Cut out leaves, place them on a soft pad and gently press in veins. UPDATE: Don't miss the video tutorial on how to make such roses.
