With this mobile, there are no limits to creativity. All you need is a branch where you hang pearls, feathers, buttons and other things with a wool thread.
Those who are already trained in knots use a wool thread for this. Younger children use a flower wire to thread up. Check out the instructions and have a lot of fun trying out!
Mobile made of feathers, pearls and buttons
Snow crystals of aluminium lids (upcycles)
These snow crystals sparkle and shimmer. They are made from round aluminium lids of dairy products. Cleaned and smooth painted you can use these for these enchanting snow crystals.
For this purpose, the aluminium cover is folded four times in half. Then you paint the cut line with a pencil. Make sure that the closed edge remains.
With the scissors you start to cut the open side with the one. Then you carefully fold the crystal apart again. Finally, you brush the finished snow crystals smoothly painted and hang them on the window, on a picture or on a branch.
Enjoy the idea of using packaging waste for handicrafts and making something beautiful out of it!
Snowman tinkering (made from aluminium cover)

Bird with book pages (variants)
Birds are interesting in winter, we watch them in the snow, at the feeding house and while picking.
A wintery bird motif can be found here in harmonious black-and-white tones.
You can easily reproduce the dreary winter environment with a bare branch. Bird food picking is this bird from book pages a typical winter project.
See for yourself and decide how to implement this craft.
Birds of recycled material
Makes a bird out of waste material such as screw glass lids and advertising brochures or old catalogues.
In addition, you only need scissors, glue and a pen, you can get started. There are hardly any limits to your imagination here. You can play out in color, as there are many bright colors to be found in advertising brochures. Whether this is to be a monochrome bird or a "bunt parrot", you can decide for yourself. Pull a few paper strips (from the brochures) and use them as feathers. All other body parts such as beak, eyes and legs are quickly painted up and glued to it. Whether you stick your bird/pape/cock or fantasy bird on an old picture frame or to the window, you can decide.
Have fun being creative.
Weather – crafting frog in glass
You're dealing with the subject of weather? Then you've probably already asked yourself, "Is there a weather frog?" Here's one for you! And how you can make it yourself, we'll show you step by step.
Find a large bulbous glass (or a wake-up glass) and a large round of stones. Then you make a ladder that you put into the glass. Then you put the frog on it. We made it out of a yoghurt cup. But maybe you also have a plush frog at home that you want to use. Have fun and stay creative!
Frog or Frog King
This little green frog conjures a laugh in the face. With a small green yoghurt cup the frog is very easy to make. You can print the template for the frog legs and use as a template, or you paint your legs yourself. In addition, you need two wobble eyes on two screw caps. This craft is ideal for upcycling.
Use it for decorating or as a funny gift. For carnival you can also make colorful frogs or conjure up a frog king from it. Stay creative and have fun doing crafts!
Colorful, wild birds (out of screw-glass lids)
You want to make a bird and are looking for something creative? Then this craft idea is definitely something for you! Use a screw-glass lid for the body. At best, this one is unprinted or beautifully patterned; otherwise you paint it. Then you look for feathers and clay paper paint for the legs and the beak. Then you can get started and create your own bird. You will be amazed at how many different birds come into being. Stay creative.
Make cat and mouse out of socks
„Like Katz and Maus“ from socks we show you here. This cat and the mouse are a craft project for children who like to make their toys themselves and bring in ideas. From a single sock – no matter if this is black, brown, grey or white – a cat or a mouse is created with little material in a flash. Maybe you're making an entire cat family? Or is the cat hunting the mice?
For an animal you fill a sock with rice. Next to it you need two wobble eyes, a button, some wool, a few paper remnants and a pipe cleaner.
