Hey everybody!!! It's time to start buying craft supplies! yeah! :)
I have compiled a list of crafts to do with kids and women, and we can of course expand on this later if we want or need to, but here it is:
Crafts for Kids/VBS:
-make crosses out of sticks and tie together with yarn
- bracelets with the different color beads symbolizing different things
-oragami whale
-color pictures
-making butterflies or flowers out of coffee filters
-making crown/necklace out of leaves
-making/coloring paper crowns
Crafts for women:
-friendship bracelets
-homemade journals---- fold and cut regular paper and fold a piece of construction paper around it. poke two holes through the paper, and tie with yarn. Then you can color the cover (the construction paper) with crayons
I have some of the supplies already. Here is a list of the rest of the supplies and a guess of how much of each supplies we would need to bring to do those crafts. If yall would each comment and just say what you will bring, that would be great!
-crayons-- 5 boxes of 24 crayons (I think they come in packs of 24)
-coffee filters- 2 packs of 200
-yarn or string for bead bracelets- 1 or 2 skeins of yarn. I bought basic cheap yarn for the other crafts that was 120 yards on a skein at hobby lobby. The brand is called Lily sugar 'n cream. You can buy any brand, that's just what I found.
-lined notebook paper- at least 180 sheets
-white paper- 500 sheets
-construction paper- at least 45 sheets
-scissors- 5 pairs
-beads- I saw packs of each color bead at hobby lobby. If a different person could volunteer to buy each color, that would work well. We need one pack of each color: black, red, white, blue, green, and yellow.
-embroidery floss for friendship bracelets and journals- 1 pack of 36 multicolor Embroidery Floss. I bought one pack, but now i don't know if it will be enough, so if someone else wants to get a pack that would be great! They sell them at hobby lobby. You can buy embroidery floss individually or in a pack; I suggest buying a pack.
Thanks everybody! And again these numbers aren't certain, so if you want to get more than this, or if you have thoughts of supplies i may have missed, feel free to comment! And also, how we need multiples of some supplies, just put what you want to get. For example, five different people could buy one box of crayons.
