Arts and Crafts Replica Fake Fire Ball Flame Charm
DIY projects and arts and crafts kits are more popular today than always. A quick search on Pinterest, and you can find tips and ideas on how to create practically anything. DIY projects were popular back in the 1970s, as well, and if you lot were a kid in the 70s, chances are you'll think creating with one of these craft kits.
Latch Hook Rugs
I must accept created a couple dozen of these hook rugs when I was a kid. I loved how you started with a mesh sheet, pieces of cut-to-length yarn, and that cool latch hook tool. I made rugs for my bedroom, rugs to hang on the wall at the cabin (they are still hanging there), rugs for my Mom for the kitchen, and rugs to give to my friends. My favorite carpet was a huge white polar bear rug with a three dimensional head. I wonder what ever happened to that…?
Pot Holder Looms
I bet you made a lot of potholders using one of these metallic loop and loom kits! I know I sure did. As a affair of fact, I still have my original metal loom and claw and have used it to bear witness my own kids how to create pot holders. Together we've made a bunch of these pot holders for Grandma and for us to apply every bit coasters. I love that you lot can still buy the loops today. Good memories!
Macrame
Oh my gosh, how I loved to macrame! For some reason, I picked up on how to macrame very hands and it seems for a while there, I was creating something new every day! Mom had lots of plants, and so I made her lots of institute holders. It was fun to experiment with the different knots, adding beads, tassels, and other embellishments. I actually need to attempt this once again! Thankfully macrame has made a resurgence, in the form of para-cord knot tying. The popularity of Friendship bracelets, cervix lanyards, belts and watch bands have made it easy to get high quality materials in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
Velvet Painting
Painting on velvet canvas was just so cool! Unlike regular paint-past-number kits, the black velvet actually prevented you from painting outside the lines!
Sand Art
All you needed was a clear drinking glass bottle, colored sand, and a sharp stick and you could create art out of sand! I remember creating sand art planters with my aunts. We would create the layers of colored sand at the lesser of the jar, top that off with a layer of potting soil, so plant small plants. I always thought those looked then smashing!
Dip a Flower
I of the crafts I could never get to work quite right as a kid was the Dip-A-Bloom kit. Mom and I spent quite a chip of time on this one, and did manage to get a bouquet of what could pass for flowers. Even though they didn't plow out the best, it certain was fun to do this with my Mom!
String Art
Cord art was one of the kits from the 70s that my brothers really enjoyed. Maybe because of the nails and having to employ a hammer. I remember working on a string art kit that was an abstract design. If yous missed a blast or two, it wasnot fun to have to undo the cord you had already strung, in order to go back and restring what y'all missed. What a tangled mess that was! And I call back hownot fun it was having to make clean them off whenever Mom had me practice the dusting.
How nigh you? Do you remember any of these crafts, or have other favorite crafts that you did in the 1970s?
