Crafting for Kids of All Ages Display
June 14, 2008 
Note: This display is the same as the Well-Crafted Books Display except that the boxes are covered with felt instead of woven fabric and the braches are decorated with embroidered medallions instead of patchwork bird ornaments and newspaper leaves.
Materials
3 sturdy, cardboard boxes of different heights (boxes shown measure as follows [measurements given as length x height x width]:8" x 4" x 8", 12" x 12" x12", 10" x 5" x 12"
1 (18-ounce / standard-size) cylindrical oatmeal box (or other cylindrical container)
Felt, to wrap around boxes, plus extra felt for backing medallions (optional)
Beans or rice to partially fill cylindrical container
Approximately 8 One World Medallions from Kids Embroidery by Kristin Nicholas (backed with extra felt if you are concerned about the "wrong" side showing)
Fallen branches, preferably growing in a variety of directions
5" embroidery hoop
Finely woven cotton or linen, for embroidered sign
6-strand embroidery floss (all 6 strands held together), for embroidering message on sign
Embroidery needle
Water-soluble fabric marker or standard pencil
Glue gun and glue
STC Craft books
1) Wrap the 3 sturdy boxes in felt as if you're wrapping them with wrapping paper. Use hot glue to secure in place.
2) Wrap the cylindrical container in felt and secure with hot glue. Place a few inches of beans or rice in the container.
3) Place a piece of tightly woven cotton fabric in the embroidery hoop. Write a message, such as "Crafting for Kids of All Ages," on the fabric using a water-soluble pen or a pencil. Using embroidery floss, embroider your message.
4) Place boxes on display table. Place stacks of STC Craft books where you want them on and around boxes.
3) Place branches in the cylindrical container. Adjust beans or rice as needed so the branches stand up. Hang the One World Medallions on the branches. Place embroidery hoop sign on display.

I love the watch, it is heavy, solid, modern, sporty yet very elegant and extremely good looking. The well known precision of a Seiko combined with the looks makes it a wonderful item to have.
