Egyptian Crafts for Kids
What you will need: White material that doesn’t fray to much, scissors, shiny material for belt, black wig, black eyeliner, see below for other material for the head band, bracelets, etc. What to do: 1.To measure the amount of material you will need measure your child from floor to neck and double the length. Have your child raise his or her arms out parallel to the floor. Measure from elbow to elbow. That is how wide you will need the material. 2. Fold the material in half lengthwise. Cut a small half circle in the middle of the fold just big enough for the neck. Cut a slit about 3 inches down from the neck toward the back of the costume. See if it fits over your child’s head. If it doesn’t, make the slit longer. You can hem the costume if you would like, but it isn’t necessary. Cut a shiny piece of material for a belt and tie the costume closed with the belt. Have your child wear white clothes underneath the costume. Add a black wig and the other accessories below. Your child will love helping you color them and decorate them. For any extra touch use glow in the dark paint.
What you will need: Card stock, scissors, highlighter markers, yarn, pony beads, hole punch, beads.
1. Print out the patterns and cut them apart. If you are making this for a small child, you will only need one pattern. If you are making it for an adult or older child, you will probably need one pattern plus half of another. Tape the two together. You don’t want the headband to reach all the way around the head. It will be tied on with yarn in the back.
2. Use highlighter markers to color the armband and headband. 3. Punch two holes at each end of the headband. Cut a piece of yarn at least 24” long. String one piece of yarn through both holes and pull it through so that the yarn lengths are even. Tie a knot about one inch from the end of the headband. String on 3 or four beads putting the beads through each string as shown. Tie a knot after the beads. String on some more beads, 6 - 10 and tie another knot at the end. Cut the yarn so it is even. Do the same thing on the other end of the band. Tie the band on your head so that the bead hang down your back.

What you will need: Card stock, 3 dimensional paint, gold spray paint, scissors, and tape. What to do: 1. Print out the patterns (patterns 1 and pattern 2). 2. Use 3 dimensional paint to outline the shapes. When the paint is dry use gold spray paint to paint over the entire bracelet. Add more 3D paint on top. Cut out the bracelet to fit your arm or ankles and tape them on. Copyright - While many of the crafts on this site are free, they are still copyrighted. They are for personal use only.

What you will need: Legal sized paper, crayons or markers (highlighter markers work great), hole punch, yarn, and tape. What to do: 1. Print out the pattern and cut it out. 2. Color the two halves of the collar. 3. Tape them together as shown. Punch a hole on each side and tie two pieces of yarn in the holes. Tie the collar on with the yarn. If you don’t want to punch holes, you can tape or staple the yarn on.
4. I strongly recommend using the Highlighter brand (don't get the cheap ones) markers for this craft. Every collar made will come out beautiful. These work great because they don't cover up the black of the pattern. A child who is not good at coloring can color wherever they like and they will still look beautiful. They can color a whole row at one time or color individual spaces. Also overlapping two colors makes a new color. These markers may be more expensive but they last a very long time.'

What you will need: Heavy card stock (yellow or gold color works best), scissors, yarn, gold paint (DecoArt Patio Paint worked great) Tulip Pearl Dimensional Fabric Paint or something similar, glitter 3D paint. What to do: 1. Print out the pattern onto card stock. 2. Paint the pattern all over with the gold patio paint or similar paint. Don’t paint it on too thick. You want to be able to see the lines. 3. When the paint dries use the dimensional paint to give the amulet a 3D look. Outline the pattern and go over all the lines. Fill in the belly of the falcon with dots. Use other colors of 3D paint to paint the eyes and make dots to look like gems. 4. Punch holes in the wings of the falcon at the top and one in the smaller piece. Tie yarn as shown. The smaller piece hangs down your back.'' Copyright - While many of the crafts on this site are free, they are still copyrighted. They are for personal use only.

Insert one end of the yarn through another straw piece and push the straw down so that it touches the other piece. Insert the other end of the yarn through the opposite end of the straw piece that you just put on and pull the yarn tight. 5.
