Well, things
haven’t really slowed down here at the little farmhouse, but I’ve found a few
spare moments to post a fun craft that kiddo and I worked on this week.
We have had
a few thunderstorms and the rain has spoiled our outdoor fun, so we decided to
bring the outdoors inside and have a luau! But what’s a luau without a hula
grass skirt.
Our local
dollar store sells plastic grass skirts but I had a little brainstorm and
decided to craft our own.
All you need
is a pair of scissors and a cheap, rectangular plastic tablecloth!
I found mine
at Wal-Mart for $0.97 in the party section. I unfolded the tablecloth until it was just
two layers.
I cut off
about one yard of the tablecloth to use, still folded in half.
I then cut
narrow strips, starting from the bottom and working my way up to the folded
edge, stopping about 2 inches from the fold. For a fuller grass skirt, cut
strips along the entire length of the tablecloth and wrap it around the waist.
Tie it around
the waist and that’s it! A fun hula grass skirt for kiddo and I to use for our
indoor luau!
The color
choices are endless for these cheap, plastic tablecloths. And some party supply
stores have this plastic tablecloth material on rolls if you needed to make
several at one time.
God Bless y’all!
