In Crafty, there are lots of fun crafts for you to do at home. They are simple, and fun! They don't take too long to do either. Let's get started!

Bookworm Bookmark:
You will need the book you are reading, a black marker, pink or red ribbon, and some tape. First, draw eyes and a mouth on one end of your ribbon. Take the tape and put it on the ribbon. Place the ribbon on the spine of your book. Now, you have a cute little friend holding your place for you!

Webkinz Hoodie:
Want to make clothes for your webkinz? Well all you need is an old sock, a pair of scissors, and a webkinz. First, cut the heel off of your sock. You want to cut it straight through. Cut a medium hole right under the line on the toe of your sock. Then, cut little arm holes on the side. Put it on your webkinz. Now you have your very own webkinz hoodie! You may want to cut ear holes depending what kind of webkinz it is.

Webkinz Bed:
Now that you made some clothes, how about a place to sleep? You will need a shoe box, tape, and scissors. You'll need more stuff a little later. Take the lid off of the box. Cut off the side of it. Tape it to the side of your box like a little step. Get a blanket, a pillow, or some sort of mattress, and put it in the box. Get something soft for the pillow. Now, you need a blanket. You could use a real one, or use an old shirt like I did. Now your little buddy has a comfy bed to sleep in!

Sock Monkey:
Here is a harder one. You'll need two socks (not the footies), a sewing machine, a needle and thread, and two matching buttons. First, take one sock and lay it down so the toe (the head) is pointing up, and the heel (the butt) is facing you. Draw a line one inch below the butt, and keep going all the way down. Sew (with the sewing machine) two lines beside the drawn line, but not all the way down the sock. Cut on the drawn line. There will be a little hole between the legs, that's where you'll you'll stuff it. When you've finished stuffing it, sew the hole closed (with the needle and thread). The other sock is where you get it's other parts. Cut three parts of the sock for the tail, and the arms. Cut the heel for the mouth. Stuff the tail and arms, then sew them on with the needle and thread. Sew part of the mouth on, stuff it, and sew the rest of it. Sew on the buttons, and then a smile on the mouth. You have just created a sock monkey! (Time will vary).
