Tween Crafty Canvas Shoes
Canvas shoes: Tweens love expressing themselves in their clothing, including their footwear, they will have a blast with this easy craft.
Here is what you need:
- One pair of basic canvas shoes in the size of each tween participating in the craft, in the color that they will want most.
- Accessories:
- Ribbon
- Buttons
- Gems
- Craft paint
- Tools:
- Glue
- Scissors
Basically let them use the items you provide to decorate their shoes however they would like. They will have a blast doing it, and even more fun wearing the shoes. If they have a special event coming up, like a concert, or movie opening they are excited about, they can decorate the shoes with that in mind. Just give them some free reign to exercise their creativity, and you will be surprised with the fun results.
Tween Crafty Flower Pens
Flower pens: An easy, fun craft for tweens is to help them make flower pens. Give them a journal where they can record their most private thoughts, and then let them make the pens they will use to write in the journal with. You can make the craft even better by letting them decorate their journal cover as well if you want. For flower pens you need fabric flowers, florist tape, floral wire, and some glue, as well as the pens. You are going to cut the stems of the flowers to be short, but not too short. Then use the floral tape to secure them to the tops of the pens. If the flowers do not have a plastic stem, use the floral wire to do it. It is easy and fun!
