Easter paper craft using egg-boxes
You might think how is it possible to make decoration using egg-boxes. It's really simple and I think this is the most lovely Easter decoration on my site.
Take an hour or so, a paper egg-box, some felt, an egg boxes few other things and your creative two hands and create wonderful chickens!
The following two step-by-step guideline will explain you how to make them. Visit my site www.marcels-kid-crafts-com to see the pattern and the step-by-step pictures.
You'll need:
* egg-box (for the body and the wings)
* all purpose adhesive
* scissors
* red felt (for the crests)
* yellow cardboard (for the beak)
* feather (for the tail)
* white paper (for the eyes)
* black marker
* pen
The steps:
Print and cut the patterns out.
Outline the patterns.
Cut out pieces. (The wings are made of the lid of the egg-box.)
Cut the middle part, the peaks of the box.
Cut the bottom of the peak round as shown.
First, glue the two red felt pieces about the middle of the peak. Next, glue the beak as shown and hold it for a few minutes.
Then, glue the edge of the first wing on the back of the chicken.
Do the same with the second wing.
Glue the two white eyes and draw two dots with the black marker.
Next, is the feather.
Glue it on the back of the chicken between the wings.
Hold it for a few minutes.
Finally, glue the crest on the top of the chicken and hold it until it stands firmly.
Wait 5-10 minutes until everything completely dried.

Postcard collecting
Collecting Postcards By Vic Bilson
Collecting postcards is a fun hobby, and one of the most interesting things to collect are photo post card collectibles. People collect all sorts of things such as saw blades; wooden eggs with artwork painted on them, and even collect designer rugs. Others collect limited edition plates, thimbles, Christmas ornaments, and figurines produced by such companies as the Bradford Exchange. And of course, many people collect fine art paintings.
The person with a postcard collectible hobby will probably find post cards from some of their favorite destinations. They can choose to focus on one particular location, post card style, or choose from post cards from around the world. On the other hand, they may collect post cards around a theme they enjoy, such as cigars, wild animals, or scenic location.
A person with somewhat modest means can collect post cards. Most gift shops offer high quality, glossy postcards printed with some of their more notable destinations. By buying those cards one really appreciates, anyone can have a post card collection.
Ebay is a good source of postcards and whatever type of collectible you fancy. In fact, if you are just starting out, the choices and options can be overwhelming! Just remember that you can sell your own belongings as well as buying those of others. This should make the impact on the budget a little less powerful. Other ideas for inexpensively collecting postcards are scouring flea markets, thrift shops, and garage sales. You never know what treasure someone else may be getting rid of.
One nice thing about a post card collection is that you can find postcards from every part of the world. The post card collector should scout the local art shows, museums, and artist's hangouts to find out just what sort of postcards can be had less expensively and close to home. Because of the local flavor of some postcards they also make good travel souvenirs.
A postcard collectible hobby will keep you interested in life and give you a home filled with interesting images as well. If you enjoy pretty and interesting things around you, consider starting a postcard collectible hobby today.
