Description: | |
For this swap you will create a color themed I Spy Jar. For example all the items will be red, or blue etc...You will take a small jar , clean it and remove the label. Some jar suggestions- an empty parm cheese jar, an empty spice jar, an empty peanut butter jar etc... After it is cleaned and dried you will fill it with colored rice, colored lentils or some other filler. It is also fun to add something uniformly colored/shaped to add texture. This also makes it a little more work to find the items. These can be plastic gems, sequins, etc... You will also add at least 15 small items. The smaller the items, the more you will want to add. These can include: A button A penny A paperclip Small figurines Shaped flat buttons Marbles Laminated photos or stickers Keep In mind that pom-poms and fabric do not work well for this type of project. You will want a variety for this project. Do not for example add 25 red buttons and call it done. For this swap you will want to pick a color theme for your items: red: apple, cherry, red flower, ladybug etc... blue green yellow orange purple etc... After picking out your items, you will make a "I Spy List" to go along with the bottle. This can be as simple as a check-offable list or it can actually have photos of the objects you have included. Make it as detailed as possible if you do not include photos. Laminate your list, either using a laminator or packing tape. Add the items to your bottle, shake the items into the filler, and then super glue the lid on. Please do not skip this step or use a different glue. We want these to be safe for kids. There are many sites online that will give you some inspiration, but I liked the photos on this one: http://countingcoconuts.blogspot.com/2011/02/homemade-i-spy-bottles-tutorial.html For this swap you will have one partner, and will make an I Spy Jar and card to go along with it. These are NOT PROFILE OR AGED BASED, so I would suggest getting started after you sign up and then being able to ship out soon after partners are assigned. Minimum rating is 4.9. I will be checking profiles. |
