From YouTube: ChYpPS Pen Holder

Description

Aimed at children 6 and over

A

Hello, everybody and welcome to our this week's chips: craft activity. This is for activity, five, if you've got your pack and it's not nothing- to worry about we're going to be making a little tin can cactus pencil holder, but you can also use alternatives. So I'm here and I'm called maddie- and this is caroline hi- everybody and caroline- is using an alternative. So if you don't have a tin can what can you.

B

Use yeah, so I had a little rummage through and um I didn't have a tin can ready to go so I'm gonna just improvise and use a toilet.

A

B

Which should work? Okay, it will just mean my pen hold will be slightly smaller, but I'm sure that's all good great.

A

So what you're gonna start with is your empty either tin can or your new roll holder, and if you have the instructions great and if not just follow along with us. Okay.

B

Take your dude.

A

Yeah, what you're going to do first is grab your piece of green card yep and figure out how long your can or your new role is and then draw a little mark at the bottom. So can you see where I made my mark there? Okay.

B

Yeah mine's going to be a bit smaller, obviously so much to roll around.

A

Perfect and then you're just going to cuff it along that strip, if it's a tin can nor it should fit round. But if not, you might need to cut an extra strip of paper or cut some excess off and then you're going to glue your paper all around the outside of your tin.

A

So if you can see, mine doesn't go quite all the way around at the back here. So I'm going to cut out an extra little strip of paper just to cover that.

A

B

I'm guessing thinking about it as I'm doing this, that I'm gonna have to put a bottom on mine. Aren't I oh.

A

B

B

But I could do that paper. I reckon oh definitely.

A

So just get your card or your paper, all nice and gluey, and also, if you don't have green colored cards, you could do another color or you could paint color in a bit of white paper green and stick that on as well or maybe you could paint your can if you didn't feel like using paper so there's loads of different options, I'd love to see what you guys do with more so feel free to once you've created your tin can or toilet roll cactus pencil holder. Send it in to us and we'll have a look.

A

B

No, it's not sticking that! Well! Oh no! Come on behave yourself.

A

I think you need lots and lots of glue for things like this.

B

That's when I should have bought my emergency sellotape.

B

So you I've got a bit of excess paper on the top of mine, so I'm going to cut that off and try and make it into a base.

A

There we go so if you've got some sellotape on you, you could maybe secure it. If you feel the need.

A

There you go so here we go, and obviously you guys can take your time with this and pause the video and follow along with us when you're ready to join us and if there's any tricky bits, always ask a grown-up to give you a bit of help. So I've got some tape here.

A

This is colorful washi tape, I'm just going to put that just to secure the back of mine, but if your paper went all the way around, you probably wouldn't need to do that if you had a slightly smaller camera than me great, so the next part you do is make the cactus's arms. Okay, so you're gonna use your green paper and draw a cap. Is it arms or is it branches do cactuses?

A

Who knows so? This might be best done. If you take another bit of paper.

B

A

And you fold it in half so then you make two.

A

And do sort of an l shape on it's like an l shape on its side, so.

B

Okay, okay, so are you keeping your just one whole whole piece: you're sticking it around the back or you cutting yours in half. Oh.

A

I, oh that's a really good idea. What I did is um I cut mine in half. I actually prefer caroline's idea of doing one long. One.

B

B

Okay, that was more by flute than anything else.

A

I know I think that was really effective with this one. If you wanted to do it with two, I just folded the sort of end on and glued that on, so that they stood at a right angle. I.

B

Really like kaz's idea- and I guess it doesn't have to be a cactus does it you could do whatever what other things could you do perhaps uh a little bit and I'm seeing that they've done some watermelon and a pineapple one on the sheet, but I suppose you could just do just make it pretty with flowers and stickers and what have you in fact, I've actually got my cup my pens in a not so very nice cup here.

A

At the moment, so.

B

This can become my new new pen.

A

B

A

That's cool ladder.

B

Okay, how are we doing? Maddie um got my arm, slash branches on.

A

Perfect and then I think you just decorate your calculus, however you'd like so you can give him a face.

A

There we go, I'm gonna stick mine on there.

A

Nice and gloomy.

A

I'm gonna add some eye stickers to mine, so you've got a face. Okay,.

B

I'm gonna just uh draw my eyes on with pen. I think.

A

Oh, that's: a cool.

A

Idea what I did on the one I made earlier was I cut out some little circles out of paper and drew some pupils on those and stuck those on as well. If you wanted to still be a bit 3d and oh see, it works very well, because this is where I kept all my pens and then you can just decorate your cactus.

A

However, you want okay.

B

I'm giving mine a moustache.

A

I'm gonna give mine some eyebrows.

A

Oh mine looks a little bit mine's pulling a funny.

B

Face yeah, it's funny as soon as you put the eyes on, they sort of have their own their own little personality. Don't they they do. I need some eyebrows too. There you go yeah. My eyebrows make him look a little bit shocked.

A

Okay, mine made them look a little bit like he's scheming, and so, but this is the smiley one I made oh yeah, that's nice see. The thing is when I had a bit more time when I was decorating the first one, so you guys can take as much time as you like and pause the video or come back to it when you are ready to carry on with each step. So let's put some pencils, get back on our glue.

B

Match it with the cut your bedroom, couldn't you whatever.

A

Oh yeah, you could write your name on it as well loads of ideas.

A

Brilliant, so thank you very much for joining us this week, everybody. We can't wait to see all your creations and yeah and next week we will be with you with another video uh wednesday at four o'clock and yeah we'll see you then thanks very much guys take care. Everybody bye.
