Tween Crafty Wall Signs
Tweens love to have their rooms be all theirs, and their room can be an outlet of expression. So, help them express theirselves in their room decorating, by letting them make wall signs. The best way to do this is buy plaques, or wood pieces cut and sanded to work well for a wall sign. Before decorating the wood, help the tween adhere a wire across the back for hanging. Then, let them choose a paint color of choice, and paint the board, then give them vinyl letters, phrases, etc. to create wall signs that are perfect for their interests. If you do not have vinyl letters, or don't know in advance what phrases they will want to use, you can always get stencils and let them paint the words on their wall plaques. They will have fun making the craft, and more fun displaying it in their room.
Tween Crafty Necklace
One way to keep tweens occupied, and doing something rather productive is to give them a craft to do. The following are a few fun craft ideas suited to the age and interest level of tweens:
Necklaces: Almost all tween girls love necklaces. While this is not an appropriate craft for tween boys, it will fill hours with fun, creative, excitement for tween girls.
Here is what you need:
- Beads
- Charms
- Closures
- Wire
- Scissors
To make you clamp the wire around the closure, and then string the wire with the beads that you want, then clamp it around the other closure. It is very easy, and yet the girls can be creative, and have a lot of fun mixing beads, patterns, and styles to create necklaces that they will want to wear, give as gifts, and more. If you want them to be overly involved in the craft, let them go to the store and pick out their own bead materials, colors, shapes, and sizes. You can add extras like lockets, and other items to make the necklaces even more personalized.
