Dandylion Chains 1. Pick 10 dandylions.( for Children, for adults pick 14 flowers) 2. Make small slit by first flower head 3.Insert a second flower into the slit 4.Repeat steps two and three until chain fits your head 5.Connect the ends. 6.Wear it! The Balloon headset 1.Get one 2-inch balloon. 2.Pinch the balloon a inch bealow the knot using one hand 3.With your other hand twist the one inch bubble a couple times.Hold it so it doas not undo. 4.wrap the balloon oruond your head and let a pearson help and mark your fingers at tTake 5.Take the balloon off the pearsons head and wrap the bubble around the balloon base at the point that you were marking with your fingers. 6.Wrap it around a couple of times so that it is locked in place. 7.This will form a balloon loop that will be the base for this series.Straighten the length of balloon that lies outside the loop,and position it so that it points straitght downward from the balloon base. 8.Take the length of balloon that lies outside the loop and fold it in haif. 9.Breathe a little warm air on the balloon at the folded point. 10.Rub the balloon gently at the same point so that the length of balloon curves a little. 11.In order to make a little bubble pop up at the tail end,you will do exactly the same thing that you did in order to create the little bubble on the jester hat.Strech the very tip of the tail end of the balloon a few times,and squeeze the entire length of balloon away from the tail end until a little bubble pops up at the tail end. 12.This little bubble will serve as the mouthpiece of the Headset. Place the hat on someone's haed, with the mouthpiece pointing downward. Position it so that the mouthpiece is directly in front of that person's mouth. This is the completed Headset' perfect for the most advanced space fantasies. Hong Kong Fortune cookies 1.3/4 Cup butter or margarine. 2.2 Cups sugar. 3.1 Teaspoon vanilla flavoring. 4.3 Eggs. 5.1 Cup sifted flour. 6.60 Intriguing fortunes written on small strips of paper. 7.Let butter soften outside the refrigerator.In a mixing bowl put suger and butter and blend together until fluffy.Add vanilla.Then add eggs to the mixter,one at a time.Beat well after adding each egg.Then add flour and beat thoroughly.Heat the oven to 375.Grease the cokie sheets,then dust lightly with flour.Drop rounded teaspoons of dough at least 2 inches apart on each sheet.Bake for 20 minutes and remove.With a wide spatula,loosen each cookie from the sheet.Place a folded fortune on each cookie.Gently fold the cookies in haif with the fortune inside.Pinch edges together,then twist in the centers.Makes 60 fotune cookies. The Balloon Sword 1.Inflate a balloon until you have a 3-inch tail on the end,and tie a knot. 2.Make a 2-inch bubble at the knot end of the balloon,and hold onto it.This will be the handle of the sword. 3.Beneath that 2-inch bubble and hold onto both bubbles so that they don't untwist. 4.Fold the 5-inch bubble in haif,so that its ends meet. 5.Twist the 5-inch bubble around on its ends a couple of times,until it is locked into place. 6.Make another 5-inch bubble,and hold onto it so that it doesn't untwist. 7.Fold this 5-inch bubble in haif,and twist it around on its ends a couple times of times,until it is locked into place. 8.Make another 5-inch bubble,and hold onto it. 9.Fold this third 5-inch bubble in haif so that its ends meet,and twist it around on its ends until it locks into place.All three of the 5-inch bubbles will form the protective shield of the sword. 10.Position these three,folded 5-inch bubbles so that they are perpendicular to the handle (or top) and the shaft of the sword. 11.Adjust the shaft of the sword so that it is straight.Do this by simply straightening it out with your hands.Bend it in any direction that it needs to go to beacome. Drawing Yoda 1. Basic Guides -- The Head Green -- Draw a big circle in the center of the page. This will represent the main shape of Yoda's head. Red -- Draw a horizontal line through middle of circle. Blue -- Draw vertical line through middle of circle. 2.Body and Ears: Green -- Draw arch up to horizontal line. This will represent Yoda's shoulders and upper body. Red -- Draw a side ways "V" shape with some curve, on left side of circle. The bottom of the "V" should meet the intersection of the arch and the big circle. The top of the "V" Should come down to the horizontal line. Blue -- same as Red but backward on right side of circle. These are the ears. 3.Facial Guide lines (VERY IMPORTANT) Green -- Draw a horizontal line. Even with where the arch line, meets the big circle line on left and right. Red -- Draw a horizontal line through the big circle, half way between the first horizontal line you drew, and the one you just drew (Green of this step). Blue -- Draw two vertical lines through the big circle. Both half way between the first vertical line you drew, and the left and right sides of the circle. 4.Facial Features Green -- First make some circle shapes to represent his circular features. Eyes: Make some side ways ovals, using the intersection of guidelines (top horizontal guide, and the left and right vertical guides) as the center point. The bottom of the ovals should lie on the middle horizontal line. Nose: Make a smaller oval that fits right between the top and middle horizontal guides. Using the middle vertical guideline as your center point. Cheeks: Make small circles that fit between the middle and lower horizontal lines. These circles should be touching the big circle. Chin: Make an oval about the same size as the eyes. Use the middle vertical line as your guide. The bottom of the oval should sit at the bottom of the big circle. Red -- next we will do the more angular shapes. Brow: This is an odd shape - a cross between a box and a triangle. Use your middle vertical guideline as a center point. The bottom of this odd shape Should lie around the top of the eye ovals. Inner ears: Repeat the "V" shapes you made in Step 2, only make them smaller, and inside your original "V" shapes. 5.Define Facial Features Green -- Eyes: Using the intersection you used for the eyes, make thin almond shapes that are the same width of the eye ovals, but about 1/3 of the height. Nose: Make a small circle inside the nose oval you drew in Step 4. Red -- Nose: Make two vertical lines from the right and left sides of the nose circle you just drew, up to the brow shape. Mouth: Using the middle vertical guide and the top of the chin oval as your base point, Make a short "V" shape so the arms of the "V" go up to the bottom horizontal guide. Blue -- Brow: Draw half a "C" shape that starts from the left side of the big circle, and ends at the top of your original brow shape. Do this again but on the right side. 6.Red -- Tunic: Starting where the left and right horizontal lines meet the big circle, draw vertical lines that are angled slightly toward the center of the page. Blue -- Give Yoda a little bottom lip. A little curved line below his mouth is fine. 7.We're almost done, but we have a few more small details to get. Green -- Iris of eyes: Make small circles (about the same size as the nose circle), using the same intersection guide for the eyes as in Step 4. Red -- Pupils of eyes: Make smaller circles inside the circles you just made. Blue -- Collar: Just below the bottom of the big circle, draw a curve with a square notch in it. Ear: Yoda's left ear has a little crook in it at the end. Make a little "v" shape to show that. 8.Now is the really fun part. You can now use your pen or draw heavier with your pencil. We want to use all the building we have just done and draw just the important lines that make up Yoda's face. 9.Keep with your dark lines and add small details that make up the rest of Yoda's facial features -- wrinkles, nose holes, hair, and oh, don't forget to color his pupils in. (Artist's hint: leave a small white circle in the upper corner of the pupil. This works as a high light and will give your eyes more life.) 10.Erase your guidelines, and Ta Da! You have just drawn Yoda!
