Egg Dyeing: String Technique Craft for Kids - This easy technique yields splashy, unique designs reminiscent of abstract expressionist painter Jackson Pollock's.
Felt Stitched Ornaments Craft - After playing with stitching them on paper, I decided that I wanted to try to adapt the idea to fiber. For the images shown here, I used the same pattern as in my earlier post. I poked holes through the pattern and then taped it to a piece of felt. I then used a fine-tipped sharpie marker to make dots on the felt through the holes.

String Art Easter Egg Ornament Craft with String for Kids - These are very simple ornaments-- a fun baby-sitting project for grade-schoolers.
String Art - A cross between Spirograph and macramé, this retro craft is the equivalent of two great tastes that taste great together. Professors actually use this project to teach a mathematical principle -- forming a rounded shape called a Bézier curve from straight lines -- but it's so funka-delically awesome that you don't have to be a geometry whiz to dig it.
String Art Flower Pattern Craft for Kids in Girl Scouts - The flower in the photo above, took 36 feet of green for the large leaf, 13 feet of green for the small leaf, 6 feet of orange for the small bud at the bottom, 45 feet of red for the flower petals, and 4 feet of yellow for the center of the flower. These measurements contain a little extra so you shouldn't run short.
String Art Patterns - These are free sample patterns so that you can try out the String Art technique. The patterns are delivered by download to your computer in PDF format. This requires Adobe Reader 5 or later.
String Art Snowflake Craft for Kids - This delightfully delicate snowflake will be a treasured heirloom for years to come.
String Art Valentine's Wreath Craft for Kids - This is a great project for Valentine's Day, and can be done on a much smaller scale. Instead of making a wreath with multiple hearts, make a doily and put one heart in the middle. There are 236 yards in a ball of Lion Cotton, so if you have a class of 30, that is almost 16 yards of yarn (8 of each color) per student--two balls will be plenty!
String Art Decorations Craft with Yarn or String - Everything old is new again! Today's teenage crafters will fall in love with this updated version of an old craft. They also make great ornaments for the Christmas Tree. It's never to early to get started.
