WaSHi tApE Craft

Another great Saturday morning with our creative kids!
Today we made very cute birdhouses from milk cartons and decorated them with colourful Washi tape.
For this craft activity we need:
  • milk carton
  • washi tape and washi tape "look" tapes
  • scissors
  • double sided tape
  • oval/round shape for a door
  • paddle pop sticks
First, we assembled the milk carton and cut the shape for the birdhouse door.
The next step was to decorate the birdhouse with Washi tape and glue the paddle pop sticks for the roof.
We added the little paper clip on the top of the roof to use for hanging on the tree.
Ciao and keep crafting!:-)
