This is a mosaic my dad and I made. Basically it's little shards of glass glued to the back of a picture frame. (we wrapped the back of the frame in tinfoil to make it shiny) We then took the glass out of the front of the frame and put the frame back together. After melting candle wax, we poured it in the cracks in-between the glass. We let it dry, then got a wet napkin and rubbed off all the wax that dripped on the glass. This was kind of tedious but it looked great! (this picture is not the finished product and is actually not the same design as the real one)<br /></div>

This cool little pencil holder was made out of just a hunk of wood.

For my mom who didn't have any, I made her these oven mitts for Christmas. I made them by tracing other mitts on fabric, cutting out the traces, and sewing them together. Then I stuffed them. After that I had half an oven mitt. I did all that again and sewed the two halves together. After that I had one oven mitt!</div>

Caleb's bush rat will be our first team creation to share. Living in South Sudan caused us to be creative with our gift giving. Caleb made Larissa a bush rat shoe scraper for her birthday from twisted wire and a scrub brush. Larissa didn't like having three inches of mud caked on her shoes from gardening so Caleb made her a cool little bush rat. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
