Colour Spirals AWS
Crafts Ages 5 and under 20 minutes
Colour Spirals Description Spin colourful spirals around buttons.
Materials
Assortment of buttons Yarn or string (various colours) Liquid craft glue Paint brushes Paper (various colours)
Preparation Prepare the room for a program that uses glue. Pre-cut yarn into various lengths.
Implementation 1. Select three or four different buttons. 2. Brush some glue on each button then stick them onto the paper. Allow some space between each of them. Try not to move the paper too much to allow the glue to dry and for the buttons to set in place. 3. Lightly brush more glue around a button. Start with a small circle. 4. Wind a piece of yarn or string around the button starting from the outside edge, lightly pressing it into the glue. Leave as little space as possible between each row of yarn. 5. Continue winding the yarn around until the end of the piece (or cut it). Brush more glue if necessary then start with a different colour of yarn from where the other piece ended. 6. After a few pieces of yarn, move onto the next button. The circle patterns can be different sizes and may touch, but try not to overlap them. 7. Allow time for the glue to dry before moving the picture.
