How to do it?

1

st Step Making of the river: we are cutting off the

expanded polystyrene with the knife. Then we are

painting it with varied nuances of blue, reminiscent the

colors of the river. When the paint dries we are gluing

the sand dunes.

2nd

Step Making of the ships: we are cutting off the

empty box of fruit juice longitudinal and the

paper box of eggs with knife. So we are forming the

hulls of the ships. We are gluing them on the expanded

polystyrene. Then we are reeling the sheets of the

color magazines on the straws. We are gluing the

straws on the box of fruit juice. Then we are piercing

the boxes with the wooden sticks. So we are making

the masts and the oars. To make the sails we are using

toilet paper, colored paper, nylon pouches and wooden

sticks. We are cutting of them with the

adapted scissors. Finally we are gluing the sails on the

ships.

3rd

Step Decorating the model: we are putting the little

plastic figures on the suitable places so they are

becoming characters in a scene.

How to do it?

1.Soak some of the newspaper in water (it’s better if

you let it to set for a day or two).

2.Squeeze out the excess water.

3. With the mortar and pestle, crush a little bit of paper

at a time until you get a homogeneous paste, consisting

of fibers isolated from each other. Repeat this until you

have enough paste.

4. Fill the bowl halfway with water.

5. Put the paper paste in the bowl and stir it to separate

the fibers.

6. Remove any resulting clumps (a dense suspension of

fibers must remain in the water).

7. Immerse the frame in the watery suspension in the

bowl (the sieve should be facing the bottom of the

bowl).

8. Slowly remove the frame from the suspension

keeping it steadily horizontal; eventually move the

frame to even out the layer of fibers - wait for the water

to drain.

9. Place the smooth side of a sheet of Formica on top of

the sheet of paper still soaked with water.

10. Press on the Formica a little to drain the water,

taking care not to deform the sieve.

11. With a sponge, collect water from underneath and

squeeze it away every so often.

12. Carefully remove the sheet of Formica so that the

sheet of paper remains attached to it.

13. Let the sheet of paper dry. To do this more quickly,

you can dry it with a hairdryer, make other sheets of

paper, introducing to the suspension some grass

crushed in the mortar.

14. Optionally- later introduce some flower petals

(without crushing them).

How to do it? Step 1 To Prepare The Pure Water: This is first and the most

important point of marbling art. Because if you can t catch the

right consistency, your painting won t float on water.You have to

add 3 teaspoon gum tragacanth in to 2 liter pure water .Gum

tragacanth gives the water a special intensivity Then you have to

mix the water till gum get melting complately. (You have to

leave the water to rest 24 hours) And next day your pure water

will be ready to make marbling art…

Step 2 To Make Ready Bucket: Second day, you will realize that

the pure water really more intensive than yesterday. So you can

put it in to the bucket as you seen on photo…But there musnt be

any bubble on face of water. ıt looks like hair gel, isnt it?

As you seen the pure water is ready to paint on it…By the way, to

paint it the brush is not normal brush. It s maden by rosewood &

horse hairs…(Horse hairs don t keep tightly the colours so it

provides you dancing on water face with colours…)

Step 3 To Paint On Pure Water: You have to use the paint brush

as you seen on photo. You have to rap the brush on your sign

finger. You can use how many different colour you want to

use.You can draw what ever you want on water by using the

nail…Figures, flowers, self-portre etc…

Step 4 To Put The Paper On Water: You have to put the paper on

water slowly… And you have to be sure that the paper is really

covered the all face of water…You can make a little press with

your finger to paper.

Step 5 To Take The Paper: Also you have to be carefull when

you take the paper on water. Firstly you can keep the corner side

of paper and keep tightly and take the paper to yourself

And you have to leave it to dry… You can hang it on the wall or

you can cover a book or you can cover your all wall with it…

Also you can use it as a background for a photo…

How to do it?

STEP 1 - Putting The Carbon Paper and Figure/Design

on Plywood: To make it, first of all, you should take the plywood

and put carbon paper on it, but you need to be carefull about that

the carbon paper shouldn’t movie while you are drawing the

figure or design on plywood, so you can use a friction tape to

solve this problem.

STEP 2–Drawing The Figure/Design on The Plywood:

And then, you should follow the figure’s line to transfer same

apperience on plywood by using carbon paper and pencil.You

can draw what you want to draw on plywood. It depends on your

creativity The figure which below is for a napkin holder…As

you seen, the same figure has transferred on plywood, so it s

ready to be cut by fret saw

STEP 3 – Cutting the Plywood by Using Fretsaw: To cut

the plywood firstly, you should put the blade of it tightly. And

then, you can begin to cut the plywood by following the line’s of

design… However, you should be carefull while you are cutting

it, because it is so thin and you can break it easily.

STEP 4 – Sanding The Cutted Design

STEP 5 – Painting The Sanded Design by Using Wood

Paints: After sanding and painting process, the plywood design’s

result apperience is really elegant style.

STEP 6 – Glueing / Pasting The Design Together: Now

you can put some napkin in it…And your napkin holder is ready

and waiting for you to use it

How to do it?

1. We are measuring the frame. Then we are

delineating the frame’s sizes on the sheet of

cardboard and we are cutting of on the outline.

2. We are drawing composition „Horo” on the

cardboard. Then we are coping with carbon paper

the components of the composition on others

sheets of cardboard and we are cutting of them.

We are numbering each of the components

(modules).

3. We are cutting out the pieces of cloth. Then we

are drawing sketches of the aprons. We are making

the textile elements of the dresses and then we are

gluing them on the modules. We are preparing the

ornamental thread and then we are assembling

the modules.

4. We are lining fabric for the base. We are cutting

the fabric on the outline and we are gluing it on the

frame. Finally we are assembling and gluing the

composition.

How to do it?

1. We are making the base: cutting the thread and threading

the needle; the thread has to pass through all holes of the

loom twice. So we are receiving healthy and tight base for

the weaving.

2. Winding the yarns on the shuttles: we need to select tree

varied colors of the yarn and we have to wind them on the

shuttles.

3. We are starting the weaving. The shuttles have to pass

between the threads of the base. We are pressing every new

row by the previous. The woven cloth must be not much

tight, but not much flabby. We are using our imagination to

changing the three colors. We are rolling the woven part bit

by bit.

3. Removing the woven cloth of the loom: when we reach to

the middle of the loom we have to stop the weaving. We are

cutting of the base’s threads carefully and removing the

woven cloth out of the loom. Then we are binding the base’s

threads on the one side, so we are making fringes. On the

other side we are rolling the woven cloth around the stick and

we are gluing it.

4. We are decorating the woven cloth with varied colors

beads as desire. We could sew them on the cloth or we could

string them to the fringes.

5. Making the tab: we are plaiting some of the yarn and then

we are binding the plait into the two ends of the stick.

the head of your rabbit.

3. Seam the sock leg on the top of the rabbit’s head.

4. Insert the basting into the sock above the rabbit’s neck, needle

it around the neck of the rabbit-to-be and then pull it to tighten

the basting – thereby, the neck will be properly formed out.

5. Needle the margins of the rabbit’s paws through the body, pay

attention to the paws to be of a size – both paws should be of a

same length and thickness.

6. Now do the same with the legs – needle the margins.

7. Adjust and needle buttons for eyes and nose, cut out small

pieces of yarn for the moustache (whiskers).

8. Prepare a fluffy tail for the rabbit (cut out of cardboard two

identical circles which have a small hole in the middle of both

of them).

9. Scroll the yarn around those circles, so that the hole in the

middle would be filled.

10. Cut through the yarns in the middle of the limbs (outer borders)

of the cardboards, bring the supporting yarn between the

cardboards and bind it up strongly, remove the cardboards.

Even out the tuft with scissors and affix it in the right place on

the back of the rabbit.

features of the Spanish culture, were produced in

paper, such as the “Sacred Family” of Barcelona,

Roman bridges, the pilgrim’s shell from the “Way

to Santiago”, the “paella” from Valencia, a

bullfighting ring and a bull and, finally, a wind-

mill from La Mancha.

Children were asked to bring pieces of cloth. All

the children willingly participated in these

activities.

How to do it?

Step 1 – You can begin to measure the thick

metal wire to create of the body part of tree.

It depends on your choice.If you want to

make a big tree, you can measure big

one…(We did it 60 cm…) After measuring,

you can cut the thick metal wires. You can

get 8 of them to twist.

Step 2 – Then you can twist the metal wire.

You s hould keep it in your hand tightly. If

you don t do this, it could be unestetic…

Step 3 – Now you can begin to create small

branch of the tree. You should use thin

metal wire for them. Get the ruler and

measure it as 30cm…Then cut it…After

cutting, get in to the wire of plastic leaf and

white beads.Then they make totaly 20 little

branch for tree…

Step 4 – Well you can add the little branch

which you created on body of tree…Just

imagine your tree and try to give a shape of

it… That is all

How to do it?

Step 1 – You should cut the textile after measuring, to

cover enough the poplar wood…(Poplar wood is best, to

pound the nails)

Step 2 –Then you should put the poplar wood on the

textile to cover all face of it…There is an important point,

the textile should be as tight as you can…For this reason

you should pound the nails back side of the polar wood.

Step 3 – On this step you should put the carbon paper on

poplar wood, which is tightly covered by textile, to draw

the ‘whirling dervish’ esign…But there is another

important point, the carbon paper’s colour and textile

colour should be different… On contrary you can’t see

clearly the design on textile…You should draw by

following the line of design by using a pen…After this

process you will get a ready design to pound nails.

Step 4 – Then you can begin to pound the nails on design

by following the line…all nails distance and hight should

be equal…

Step 5 – After pounding all the nails on design, you

should take the metal wire and tie a knot on the nail

which is taking place in the middle point of design…You

should begin from middle part of desing to create

form…And you should wrap the metal wire the nail

which is opposite of each nail…It should be wraped

crossly…You should follow the same way to create

‘whirling dervish’ design…

How to do it?

Before we start the actual weaving, we should

learn a few basic concepts. Pedig always have before

knitting a few minutes to soak in water. Just as we

constantly knitting during soaking unfinished product

(but we care not to unnecessarily plywood bottom).

Water should be lukewarm to us .Each basket

consists of three parts: braid bottom warp rods (or

own production floor) string (knit two, three, four

bars ..) closure of warp beams So now what to do

(production cart with solid plywood bottom). Prepare

the warp rods. These are the rods that are sticking out

from the bottom up and we create around them .

Warp beams should have the same length. Here we

determine by a simple formula: required amount of

trash + 5-8 cm at the bottom of braid + 20 cm at

roadblock (If we wanted to weave a complex

roadblock, I prefer to still add 10 cm) Rods must be

cut as much as we holes in the bottom. The ends of

the rods the tip, we will work with them better. While

we watch the weaving, warp rods to keep straight. If

you want to Basket either widened or narrowed, we

start in this direction warp and bend rods. The change

is apparent to us after about two to three rows.

Spokes always will end at the same place as we

started (braided into a spiral, so that otherwise would

be on one side of the basket higher). Roadblock

properly tightened, the ends are nicely kept. After

drying rack (next day) commandments projecting

rods and paint the basket.

How to do it?

First of all, we started with a brainstorm and

the children gave their ideas about what they

could do using these materials.

They suggested some different things like

deserts, the beach,...

So we decided to do three different things.

One group made a beach, the other group

made a desert and the last group made a forest.

Each group had their own materials and they

had just one hour to do it.

Finally they finished their work satisfactorily.

They enjoyed the activity a lot and they did a

good job.

operation, we made a classification

STEP – 2 Pasting The Sea Shells: On this

step, you need to use silicon gun to paste on

bulrush the sea shells which you made

classificated…

STEP 3 – Painting The Pinecones : And then

just you need a spray paint and pinecone…We

wanted to paint our pine cone four different

colours…You can choose more of course

Step 1 – Creating A Circle : At the beginning

of door decoration, you have to create a circle as

big as you want… For this you need a flexible

brance of pine tree…You need to give a circle

shape then rope it tightly…

Step 2 – Adding Green Branch to Circle: Then

you need the green branches of the pine to make

bigger your circle…To do it you have to add the

green branch of pine on your circle and you need

to twist it…Also you have to use the green rope

to wrap up the branches. You need to twist the

branches and wrap up by using the rope…

Step 3 – Putting The Pinecone on Circle: On

this step you need to put or rope the pinecone on

the circle by using the green coloured rope… If

you interspace between each of pinecone, it will

be better to add flowers…

Step 4 – Adding The Flowers: After putting the

pinecone by interspacing, you need to add the

flowers which you want to use…Our choices are

camomile and carnation flowers And then you

can add a different flower or any nature gift on
