Spring - 2006 CRAFTY VISIONS Newsletter Published by World Wide Visions   Laurieann's Note Hi Fellow Crafters, Spring is on the way! Time to plan your craft projects for 2006. We have gathered a few here to get you started. Don't forget to checkout the Craft Tips below as well as the Classified Ads for great deals of craft items. And please visit our contributors web sites. Sincerely, Craft Tips 1. Wrap the paper on crayons with clear packing tape for younger children, it helps keep the crayons from breaking. 2. For messy projects, cover the work area with a plastic trash sack. You can roll up the mess from the sack bottom towards the top, turn the open top over the roll and discard. 3. To clean dried paint on brushes and preserve the life of your brushes: cut an 'X' in the top of a plastic container, insert the brush from the inside of the lid and allow just the bristles to soak in warm soapy water until the paint softens and can be washed out. replace the brush to hang in an empty container to dry shaping the tip at least once during the drying.
