Carnival Crafts

                                                        Night at the Carnival
 Hey Guys! Sorry about not posting in a while... I was away. And while I was away, I went to a carnival, which inspired these crafts! Wanna learn how to make popcorn, tickets, cotton candy, and what to use for prizes? Read on!

 Popcorn:     You need - white construction paper , a red marker, white Styrofoam, a yellow marker, wet glue, tape, scissors.

1. Cut out a BIG rectangle of paper... this will be the cup. Color red stripes on it with the marker.
2. Roll up the rectangle so that it forms a cylinder with no bases. Tape the two ends together.
3.  Then cut out a circle that will be used as the cup bottom. Use small strips of tape to attach it to the bottom of your cup.
4. Now that you have your cup, its popcorn time! Color your Styrofoam yellow like popcorn with the marker. Then rip it up into pieces, like pieces                                             of popcorn. If there are still white spaces, color the pieces in more.
                                           5. Now, plop in your popcorn! If you do not have enough to fill in the                                                     whole cup, put glue on the sides of your cup near the top and then keep                                                  on adding layers of glue and then more popcorn. Lastly, glue on a few                                                    top pieces of popcorn and color in most white spaces to top off! Let dry.



                                             
 
Cotton Candy: you need - pink or blue needle felting wool, white paper, scissors, tape, wet glue, needle felting needles (most points work fine).
1. Take a sheet of the wool and roll it up. Poke the end to the rest of the roll (poking with a needle binds the wool fibers).
2. Then, fold up the ends if they are pointy or thin and poke them to the rest of the roll. Your cotton candy part is done now.
3. Cut out an obtuse shape triangle out of your paper. Roll it up to form a cone with no base. Tape together the two sides.
4. Use your glue to attach the cotton candy to the cone (attach cotton part to the open  side). Let it dry and you are done!

                                                                                 
Tickets : Cut out a rectangle of paper and use markers to write on it. Let the ink dry before putting with your doll!
