While the dog days of summer are winding down, there are still a ton of family activities to help your family connect. If your family enjoys theater as much as I do, then you probably count down the days to your next show. For more than a year now, my boyfriend and I have been obsessed with the upcoming show at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, SISTER ACT!
Besides listening to the soundtrack over and over, I have decided to do some arts and crafts to get us into the mood to see some finger snapping nuns. The first is a simple but cute craft I found on Pinterest, to make fairies, but, in keeping with the SISTER ACT theme, I changed it to be angels.
What you'll need:
• Wood clothespin
• Cotton ball
• Chenille stem (pipe cleaner) gold or silver
• Acrylic paint
• Fine paintbrush
• Glue
How to make it:
1. Paint a face on the clothespin
• Use a fine paintbrush to paint on the face, hair and any details (halo) with acrylic craft paint. Make sure that the face is centered over the "legs" of the clothespin.
2. Work a hole into a large cotton ball
• Work a small hole into the center of a large cotton ball. Apply a line of glue at the fairy's waist. Push the legs through the hole in the cotton ball and move the cotton ball up to make a fluffy skirt.
3. Add pipe cleaner wings
• Make wings out of one pipe cleaner. Wrap it around the waist at the center and twist to secure. Shape into wings, twisting into place.
4. Paint on shoes
• Paint on a thin line at the bottom to make shoes. Allow to dry.
Segerstrom Center for the Arts is an amazing place to celebrate the Arts with your family. Not only is SISTER ACT opening on August 6th a great option but, the entire 2013/2014 Family Series also offers unique ways to share the performing arts with your family.
