For our first craft we are going to tell you about is a Clover. If you are in Girl Guides or Scouts, when you go trading, these will be the buzz of the traders and tradees!
You'll need:
> Wax coated wire (Example; Bendaroos)> Scissors
> Wax Paper> Microwave( Maybe...if the petals don't stick together, then send it away to the microwave for 2-4 minutes in the microwave.)
> A pair of hands!! Or two... ;)
The steps:
Take your wax coated wire and roll it in to a 2D circle...no 3D circles aloud! Now make two or three more, depending on if you want a three leaf or four leaf clover. Next, you press the "leaves" of your clover together. Now you place the "leaf" formation on your sheet of wax paper. Take another piece of wax-wire and cut it half with your scissors. Take one half and fold it half, curving it a bit. This is the "stem". Then flip your "leaf" formation over and press the "stem" on to the back of your "leaf" formation. Take the other half of your left over wax-wire and cut it to your desire. Make sure the pieces aren't too small, cause these pieces need to reach to every leaf. Now put the the finished product on its ugly side(the side with the pieces holding it together) and admire your work. You can now put on a broach pin on the ugly side if you wish.
What it should end up looking like:
Front of Four Leaf and Three Leaf Clover
The Back should look something like this:
