Pineapple ninja star

Hello world!

Sorry it took so long to write another blog, but I am in the process of moving houses and schools!
Today I'm going to teach you how to make a pineapple ninja star. It's quite easy. You might mess up the first time but if you try again you will probably get it right.




Here is the video:

Affordable loom bands review

Hello world!

Today (as you can tell by the title) I am doing a review on some bands of the loom type. 


This is a pack of 1800 bands and around 25-30 c and s-clips. If you live in canada, the lowest price you can get is $1.84. But if you live somewhere else you may see a pack as low as 0.01 cent! 

How Good Is The Pack Allison? 
Well here is a list of pros and cons.

Pros
- lots of latex free, stretchy and colourful bands
- comes with lots of clips and a hook
- comes with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black,and white 

Cons
- doesn't come with as many purple and orange as the rest
- the purple breaks a lot

There are only a couple cons but there are also only a couple pros so I'm going to leave it up to you to figure out if you want them or not. One pack has lasted me months of making loom bracelets. That is all I have to say about the bands on Amazon but just know that they were worthwhile to me. Thanks for reading!

Rings



Hello world!

Today I'm going to teach you about loom band rings. Really all you have to do is pick a type of bracelet you already know and make a really small bracelet that fits your finger.

Pro tip#6    The trick for a comfy ring is to make a flat-ish pattern. Fish tail ring are not recommended from me, but you can still do one.

To make a ring you need just a couple of instructions.

- pick a pattern that you know how to make and like.
- make it how you normally would but to fit your finger
- add you c/s clip and slip it on the finger of your choice
- you done!
 Just those 4 easy steps!

Pro tip#   To make sure your ring is extra comfy make sure your finger is dry when its on. So that means....
- take it off when you wash your hands
- completely dry your hand before placing it back on
- don't do messy things with the ring on

Here is a video:


That's how you make a ring! Thanks for watching. Leave a comment or question if you have one.
K, bye!

Random acts of kindness

Hello world!

Today there is to be none of the teaching of bracelets. :( but............
I'm going to tell you a little about a very cool project I'm doing at school. Our project is "random acts of kindness''! The things we do are ......

- Making smiley faces with fun, nice sayings on them
- Making kindness posters
- Making cards with fun, nice sayings on them
- Helping people in general

This project is very very fun! If you are a teacher or student, you should suggest this to your principal
about this cool idea to make the world a better place! Even if you aren't any of these you can still do this idea on your own. It's very easy and fun to do. All you have to do is make any of these items and give them out or hang them up around your neighbourhood

                                                        Here are some poster ideas!

When you do these random acts of kindness it really brings joy to the receiver and also you!
This project makes me feel great.

I hope you do this idea!
K, bye!
