Sparky’s Craft
I love keeping everything organized – that’s why I decided to make custom binder clips! Check them out! What you need:Binder clips, craft glue, fabric pieces, stickers, scrapbooking paper What you do: If you want to cover your clip with scrapbooking paper or fabric, measure it first and figure out how much you need. Cut it to fit. Spread a thin layer of glue all over your binder clip and stick the fabric or paper onto it. Let it dry. If you want to cover your clip with stickers, stick them on in an interesting pattern! You can always add embellishments with ribbons or permanent markers! I heard Molly say that she wanted to buy some clips, so I made a few with flowers and ribbon on them – I hope she buys them! I could use some KinzCash.

Salley’s Craft
Hi everyone! I came up with a really neat craft to make for the Fall Fair. Check out these beautiful barrettes! What you need:Bobby pins, beads with large holes, rectangle of cardstock What you do: Choose what kind of bead you’d like to put on your barrettes. You can make matching ones or complimentary ones (for example, you could make a bee and a flower). Slide your beads all the way to the end of your bobby pin. The pin should still close properly (the bead shouldn’t make it stay open – if it does, you need thinner beads). When your barrettes are done, put them onto the cardstock. This allows for them to be displayed nicely!
Stoogles’ Homemade Candles

What you need: - Sheet of beeswax - Large pre-waxed wick (both available at your local craft store) - Raffia ribbon What you do: To make two candles cut the sheet of wax in half lengthwise.
