First graders were really excited to hear they would be sewing in art class - this wall hanging project teaches young students how to thread a plastic needle with a paper threader and yarn, make a running stitch, and add decorative beads and sequins.
We began with a lesson on threading the needle and then we do a "down, up, pull" technique for the running stitch. After we make a couple of successful rows, we start adding rows of sequins and beads to the routine.
I finished off each wall hanging with some colorful tape on the ends of the burlap and a spot of hot glue on the ends of the ribbon.
We presented the wall hangings with a little information sheet and shared our favorite part about learning to sew.
Świetne prace! Zaczęłam podpatrywać, świetne pomysły do pracy z dziećmi.

Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
These are so rustic and charming! Kudos to you for sewing with Grade one! I don't have the patience, haha!
ReplyDeleteHello! This project is so cool. I am going to try it with my daughter's first grade class, but I bought some 7cm long plastic needles and some sequins, but the needles are far too large for the sequins. What type of needle did you use?

Our needles were too big too, but the sequins were fairly easy to push down over the eye - the hole kind of "stretches." You can also use a hole puncher to make a bigger hole in the sequins. Good luck!

DeleteConcept is cool. I love the project idea. Appreciated the work of this little 1st graders. They did well with the sewing wall hangings. Nice sharing.
