4448_07_2.pdf {macramé: square knot} string & hexnut bracelet By Kate on September 13, 2011 This bracelet has been inspired by this really wonderful “Braided Hex-nut Bracelet” tutorial which I pinned on Pinterest a while back. Two things I absolutely love about this project are: 1) It’s cheap as chips: I already had string in the cupboard and the brass hexnuts were 3p each from the hardware shop. 2) It’s my kind of jewellery: I’m not really a girly girl IYKWIM! The bracelet I made is a bit different to the ‘braided hex-nut bracelet’ and uses macrame instead, which is great, because I promised some tutorials a while back and felt a bit bad that I hadn’t written any yet! Full instructions after the jump! Square Knot Please note: I have used different colored cord in the tutorial so that it’s easier for you to figure out whats going on! 1. 2. 3. 4. This might seem a little tricky a first but I promise once you have done it a dozen times you’ll be sorted….! If you need a hand then leave a comment and I’ll get back to you.
El monje budista y el teorema del punto fijo EL PAÍS y Materia propondrán a sus lectores, cada semana, un juego de lógica. Los lectores pueden enviar sus soluciones en los comentarios, y plantear nuevos acertijos y juegos. La respuesta correcta será ofrecida en la columna de la semana siguiente. ¿Pudo Dios, en el preludio del Diluvio Universal, azotar la faz de la Tierra con un viento ubicuo? No: la topología impone un límite a la cólera divina. Tal vez esta declaración parezca herética, pero no lo es más que decir que Dios no puede hacer un círculo cuadrado, afirmación que suscribiría el teólogo más ortodoxo. Tomemos un cuaderno ideal. Al pasar junto a un árbol que le llamó la atención, el monje deduce por su sombra que en el viaje de ida pasó por allí a la misma hora Vayamos de A a B y al día siguiente, con el mismo horario de salida y llegada, volvamos de B a A por el mismo camino. El teorema del punto fijo fue demostrado en 1912 por el matemático holandés L. ¿Cómo llegó el monje a su conclusión?
DIY Lighted Paper Pennant Garland This paper garland takes a festive twist on an old favorite by creating cone shaped pennants attached to a strand of cafe lights. Strung in the trees or over outdoor tables, this is a wonderful way to light up an evening wedding. In this sample I chose to write out a couple’s names (“EVA & JACK”) but feel free to punch any wording or design that you like. -AnnaRIFLE design Supplies: 1. cafe string lights; 2. scissors (plus X-Acto knife if you have one); 3. glue (heavy duty); 4. craft paper (at least 14″x14″); 5. screw punch; 6. ruler; 7. pencil and eraser Additional items: bone folder (for scoring folds), tape Begin by printing out the template for the shape of the pennant. Trace the shape onto your desired paper and cut out. Turn the pennant over and draw your desired design or letter with pencil and then punch it out along the lines with a screw punch. Once the glue is dry gently pop the cafe bulb into the top of the pennant. Online Resources: String Lights local Target or Party Lights
FAMILY Scripture Study Journals My husband and I have said over and over that we need to study the scriptures together and it is a goal that we have failed at! We hadn’t come up with something that actually works for us. We have tried reading together at night, we have talked about preparing our lessons together, we have tried studying in the afternoon… you get the picture. And when we have tried, it hasn’t been especially effective because we didn’t have a program or goal other than that we should study together. I made it with families in mind, but it works for couples too. This journal is designed to go along with a scripture study session that lasts 10 or 15 minutes or it could be used for a longer more extensive study. One thing I love about this journal is that not only does it help us have a quick and effective study, but it leaves a record behind. Inside the journal is an outline that you fill out with your family as you study. You can study the scriptures You can study conference talks You can discuss a topic
Problemlösning | Montessoriinspirerad matematik Uppgift lämplig för åk 2 och 3 Eleverna får 16 ”gräsbitar” var (1*1 dm stora, gröna kartongbitar) och tre kor. De tre korna ska få lite olika hagar. Ko nr 1 får själv bestämma hur hagen ska se ut. Förutom de 16 ”gräsbitarna” kan det finnas extra ytor med t ex en damm eller å inne i hagen. Här gäller det att tänka ”utanför boxen”. Hagen ritas upp på cm-rutat papper. Eleverna placerade ut våra multibas-tiotal som staket runt hagen för att underlätta uträkningen. Ko nr 2 har en väldigt sparsam bonde som vill köpa så lite staket som möjligt. Ko nr 3 har en väldigt slösaktig bonde som älskar att sätta upp staket. Eleverna fick redovisa sina tankar och funderingar för klassen. Syftet med uppgiften är att barnen ska förstå att arean är konstant även om man ändrar formen på ytan men att däremot omkretsen förändras. Eleverna får även träna på att föra och följa matematiska resonemang samt att samtala om, och argumentera för, olika lösningar. Lgr 11 Centralt innehåll åk 3 Centralt innehåll åk 6
Mini-tavlor av tändsticksaskar -Matchbox miniature art Igår fick jag och barnen för oss att vi skulle göra miniatyrtavlor. Vi plockade fram lite allt möjligt som vi hade hemma och satte igång. Vi målade, klippte, klistrade och hade väldigt roligt under tiden. Välkomna till vår lilla vernissage! Koncentrerade små pysslare. / Concentrated little crafters. Vi använde oss av: Tändsticksaskar, mönstrade papper, hobbyfärg, penslar, miniatyrfigurer, lim, tygband och piprensare. Först målade vi tändsticksaskarna, både invändigt och utvändigt. First we painted the matchboxes, inside and outside. Vi klippte till mönstrade papper som vi klistrade i botten på askarna, som tapeter. Figurerna valde vi mestadels från barnens gedigna Kinder Ägg leksakssamling… /The figurines were mostly chosen from the children’s large Kinder Egg toy collection… En lego-gubbe fick också vara med. Slutligen klistrade vi tygband och piprensare runt kanterna, som en “ram”.
Diez acertijos para resolver pensando de otra manera La dificultad de muchos adultos en resolver la pregunta número 21 a la que se enfrentaron los niños de seis años de Hong Kong para ser admitidos en Primaria ha puesto de nuevo en relieve el concepto de «pensamiento lateral» concebido por Edward de Bono en 1967. Este prestigioso psicólogo maltés lleva más de treinta años defendiendo el fomento de la creatividad para alcanzar el éxito. Ya en 2004 aseguraba a ABC: «Ser inteligente no es sinónimo de saber pensar bien. El corazón del pensamiento lateral, aseguraba De Bono, «está en la posibilidad de cambiar, en cualquier momento, la perspectiva desde la cual se analizan los acontecimientos, para observar cómo se ve el problema desde una perspectiva diferente». He aquí algunos de los retos más conocidos de pensamiento lateral planteados por el experto británico Paul Sloane. El hombre en el ascensor «Un hombre vive en el décimo piso de un edificio.
Whatever Dee-Dee wants, she's gonna get it: Terrific Tuesdays- Chore Jar | Recipes | Craft Tutorials | Fashion | Motherhood Howdy! I'm Kirsten, the designer and creator behind Embellish, a blog in which displays loads of FREE PRINTABLES, tried and true recipes, parties and the occasional sewing project. I'm so excited to have this opportunity to share with you all my CHORE STICKS idea. Before we get started-- just a little about me -- I am a social worker turned stay-at-home-mom to two darling, rambunctious, active, kind and brilliant little boys, named Miles and Graham. I was inspired to make these color coded chore sticks by my childhood babysitter. As a child I thought I was so CLEVER and CUTE. Supplies needed: tongue depressors/ fat craft sticks, Mod Podge, sponge brush, scissors, spray paint (optional) and a paper cutter. This step is optional, but I like the look of darker woods so I spray painted my sticks on both sides. Next, download and print my FREE PRINTABLES HERE. Now, here comes the tedious part. Here are just a few examples of the chores I've included and what they look like. Geesh...
Roadtrip Ready: Travel Snack Boxes Welcome to day one of my new series Roadtrip Ready! I am so excited to share all of my fun roadtrip ideas, and few of my friends' great ideas as well. Today I am sharing a fun idea inspired by a project I saw on Pinterest. The idea behind these travel snack boxes is that each kid gets a box full of snacks at the beginning of the your trip. I started with these divided boxes that I picked up at Ikea for about $4 each. I added a piece of chalkboard vinyl to the top of the boxes. Then I cut the boys' names out with my Silhouette and added the names to the top of the boxes. Henry got blue, Grant got green, but Eli ended up with yellow because I didn't have any orange vinyl. The great thing about these boxes is that you can fill them up with anything you want. And when the kiddos start chanting "I'm bored" all you have to do is hand them a piece of chalk! What kind of snacks do you like to take on roadtrips? Linking up here..
