This make is a useful one! Depending on the size of the pot you use and whether it has a lid, it can store all of those little bits and pieces kids use or collect. Larger yogurt pots are great for pens or paint brushes. Shorter pots can store crayons etc. Our pot had a lid, so I felt it would be ideal for Amelie's MANY hairclips.

Patterned Knick-knack Holder |
Using bits and pieces found around the house, this make can spark the creative side in your child. Anything goes... the more colour and textures the better.
Time taken for us to make: 30 minutes
|
Original instructions |
What we used:
- A clean yogurt with lid
- Scraps of fabric
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Glue
|
Collect scraps to decorate pot |
What we did:
To begin we cut a piece of shiny gold fabric to size and glued it to the outside of the pot as a base. I then cut different shapes from felt and glitter paper and Amelie glued them in a pattern of her choosing.
|
Cover the pot in glue |
|
Cover in material and add shapes cur from scraps |
We finished by adding a decorative bow.
Amelie insisted that the knick-knack holder should be used as a garage for Lightening McQueen... we found somewhere else for the hairclips!
