Pumpkin Tea Light 

Pick up supplies at the Kids' World desk through the end of October.

Kit includes: flameless tea light, mini craft stick, black rhinestones, 1/2 green pipe cleaner, adhesive magnet, adhesive foam dots​

You’ll need: green or brown marker (optional), scissors​

1. Use your marker to color the craft stick (optional).​

2. Pop out the foam dots and place them on the back of your tealight. Then peel off the backing and place the craft stick on the foam dots so that it looks like a stem (be careful to avoid the on/off switch).​

3. Peel the rhinestones off the plastic and place them on the flame side of the candle, using the flame as a nose.​

4. Peel the backing off the magnet and place in the center of the craft stick.​

5. Wrap the pipe cleaner around the craft stick and twist the end to look like a pumpkin vine or leaf.​

6. You are ready to hang it on your fridge or locker!

You can pick up supplies for this project at the Kids' World desk during the month of September. Or, follow the directions below and use supplies from home.

Supplies:

• zipper
• needle
• embroidery floss
• buckle
• scissors

Directions: 

1.    Get your needle threaded first so it's ready to go. You will need approximately 12" (a ruler's length) of thread for each side. Cut the thread and pull it through the eye of the needle, tying a knot at the end to act as a stopper.  Set aside.​

2. Fold in the sides of the bottom of your zipper then slide it through one of the sides of your buckle and fold down, holding it in place. *Note: the "curved" side of the buckle should be facing the "back" of the zipper.​

3. ​Take your needle and poke through back to front on one side of your zipper (on the right of the teeth). Go through the folded over short end and the main body of your bracelet, pull through until you reach the knot stopper. Bring it back around to the front, going through the other side of the zipper (to the left of the teeth).  You should have formed a single stitch in the front, going across the teeth. ​

4. ​Next, wrap the thread around both the front and back parts of the zipper, holding down that folded over flap where your stitch is, about ten times around and somewhat tight. ​

5. ​To secure, slide your needle and thread underneath the bundle from the bottom to top -do this a few times around and trim any excess.  ​

6. ​Detach the buckle now and slide the second half up until the point where you want your bracelet to end, then fold over and snip off any excess. Again, the "curved" side of the buckle should correspond to the underneath or "back" of your bracelet. ​

7. Now repeat the same process of knotting, stitching, wrapping and securing the other half of the buckle.​
