I taught Haley's Busy Bee's group for 10 year old girls. I wanted to have them learn basic piecing for a quilt, but realized there were too many girls and too little time with only 2 hours for the class.
I decided on a simple sewing project. I got the idea here, but decided to do ribbon loops instead of grommets. This was a great project for teaching kids to sew. I think kids as young as 5 could do this with close supervision.

Both Haley and Ruby have been involved with busy bee groups this summer. This is where a few Moms take turns teaching a class or craft of some kind at their house for the afternoon. Today was my day to teach Ruby's group.
I purchased inexpensive wood mirrors from Ikea. Eric drilled holes in the top so we could hang them with ribbon. I cut out a bunch of tissue paper shapes and gave them bowls of Mod Podge glue to decoupage the frames.
It was a very easy project but they all seemed to enjoy it and the mirrors turned out super cute.
