Berry Fest might be over, but the Berry fun can continue at home! Check out this cute craft for making your own Jumbleberry Fields berries, submitted by Ttg with Richard! We hope you enjoy your trophy, Ttg!
What you need:
1. 1-4 small bouncy balls (depending on how many you want to make)
2. Green, yellow, red, or purple construction paper (depending on what berry[ies] you will be making)
3. Scissors
4. Tape
5. White-colored pencil
6. Green, red, and/or yellow marker (darker than the construction paper)
What you do:
1. Using the scissors, cut a square piece of paper of either color about 3×3 inches, and wrap it around the bouncy ball.
2. Tape around the area of paper where it all meets together.
3. Cut leaf shapes out of green construction paper (two for each berry is fine).
4. Tape the leaves against the bottom of the paper covered ball where the tape on the ball already is.
For moonberry:
Draw little hollow circles, lines, and moons on the purple berry with the white-colored pencil.
For the pickleberry:
Dot the green berry all over with a green marker that is a darker color than the paper.
For the sugarberry:
Draw full circles with a dark yellow marker on the yellow berry.
For the jumbleberry:
Using a dark red marker, draw full circles on the red berry just like the yellow one.
Hmm.. it could be fun to fill up jars with these berries!
Do you have a great idea for a craft, recipe or party game? We’d love to hear them!
This has inspired me to try and make the berries in crochet (when i’ve finished my current crochet project) thanks Ttg for the inspiration!
Cute! It would also be cool to make small colored balls of clay and turn them into berries.
This is so cool. I can see playing like Yatzee. See if you can fill jars just like in the video game..
OOOOOHHHHH! THIS is TOTALLY AMAZING! WHHHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have an awesome craft idea, but it’s a little complicated to send a picture in the mail… Is there an e-mail address I could send it to?
I know there is a form you have to sign, could I sign it and just e-mail it?
Sure — the email address is craftycritterz@ganz.com — http://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/crafty-critterz-submission/
Oh wow, thanks for the reply!!! I going to send it in right away- as soon as I finish it.
This is so cute! …I wish I had some bouncy balls!
USE soft lil POM POM balls they are not expensive and weigh very little . With a little velcro on the back your pet can wear them . Join several of these in a crown would look cute on a pet or yourself ;)
Thanks, 1955tiny! I have plenty of those! Great idea! :)
Thank you so much Ganz for posting my craft! I’m a trophy collector, so this trophy will be a great addition to my collection. I hope everyone enjoys making this as much as I had!
