Thanks to the eminent blog Atelier Pour Enfants I encountered Fem Manuals by Cristina Moreno.
Look at these beautiful artworks made of paper plates and threads by children. More photos here.
Oh my, I want to try this too.

  5. Oh, I agree! These are so much fun! I am thinking summer craft project. I also loved the clay candelabra thing as well. I will have to figure that one out. I can just see a passel of those illuminating my picnic table.

  7. These are heavenly. My son is in hospital now and I am constantly playing to distract him. He'll love these when he recovers a bit!
    I adore your blog (and was relieved to see that your work desk has lots of leads and layers of paper).
    I live on a farm in a fairly remote area, and sometimes I feel so far away from art people.
    You bring some wonderful moments to our lives.

  8. Charlotte, thanks for sweet words. I do hope your son recovers very soon, it's so though with sick little children. They should be out, run and play, not sick.
    I showed these to my kids as well. Otto was moderately interested, but Tovalisa said she would want to try. Warm thoughts to you.

  13. Too many fun and cool crafts, and so little time! I definitely want to try this project too. I can imagine hanging a group of these in different colors and sizes together on a wall in my apartment.

    (PS: I am having a necklace and photo giveaway at my blog and sale in my Etsy shop. I would be so happy if you would check them out! www.gemmifer-jennifer.blogspot.com

  19. I love weaving, I´ll try this for sure!

  20. I tried it, I have a picture with only blue color so far. It is easy to do, I started before finding out you had instructions there, so it proves it is easy to do. It is super relaxing. I recommend it! Has anyone else tried yet?
    Of course, kids have it nicer!
