Handicraft project : Straw Flowers

Crystal, being creative and willing to put her hands on handicrafts, she made a pot of straw flowers by using empty Vitagen bottle and colourful straws from packet drinks.  She made it especially for me.

She was still busy trying to complete her craft when I reached home from work yesterday.  Intending to present it to me as a surprise, she hide it from me when I approached her room.  Empty straws plastic bags on the floor, coloured paint brushes on the table, it is basically in a bit of mess, I even sounded them for messing up the room.

Not long later, she surprise me with this pot of straw flowers which she made it with the help of her mei mei, Pearl. 

After dinner she asked me whether I could post it in my blog, and told me to include the materials that needed for making this flower too...Here they are:

1) Vitagen bottle
2) Multi coloured straws x 6 
3) Paints and paint brushes
4) Papers
5) Gum


School holidays allow time for our children to rewind and relax their minds, an opportunities to explore and experience new activities which they do not have the time to do during school days.  Crystal started beading works too with my old collection of beads and findings, she requested me to buy some more beads for her to make some necklaces as Christmas presents.  Pearl has little or rather no interests in beading work.  She glue on her TV and computer games most of the time.
