Embroidered Heart Bookmarks


These Heart bookmarks are so pretty- could be used for Love of God, Love of Neighbor (make one to keep, one to give away!), and the red one is poppy-ish- right? :-) (Loyalty- Wreath 2).
*To simplify- precut the pieces, and let the girls use fabric glue vs. sewing on elements.  Fabric markers could be used for embellishment.

Paper Bracelets

These lovely Paper bracelets by Alma Stoller would be great for any virtue- you could include quotes from the saint being studied, scripture, prayers... even images. 

*Remember that inkjet images will bleed with various wet media! Laser printers/color copies yield better results.

BIG Sunflower craft

No Time for Flashcards features a really big sunflower craft.  Some great processes here (painting, cutting, sprinkling and gluing)...would require a big space, and would be ideal for a lovely outdoor craft experience.

Chrysanthemum Pillow

Chrysanthemum pillow by H is for Handmade- granted this is for an adventurous craft mom if you wanted to tackle this with a group of girls.  Most likely, a simplified version would be a better fit for a group. 

Ideas: Precut petals glued without the folding (although the folds give the flower a gorgeous dimensionality...).  Fewer petals? A smaller version would yield a less expensive project with less time needed.  The petals could be glued to a jar lid for an ornament.

Love of God-peony craft

Peony felt clip tutorial by Yoonie.  Variation: make a pin rather than the clip.
