Make Easy Girl Scout Cookie Booth Banners

Faith and I love crafting for our Girl Scout Cookie booths and this banner is no exception! In the past, we have made displays, bookmarks, even crowns for our booths, and this banner was a perfect addition that can be saved from year to year. What You Need: Girl Scout cookie boxes, at least one of each kind you sell Paper cutter or good scissors Ruler Pencil/pen Paper piercer Brads How to Make a Girl Scout Cookie Banner: Carefully pull each box apart on the seams and flatten. Cut off the tops and sides, saving the front and back of the boxes. I used the industrial paper cutter we have at work, it was much easier to deal with cardboard that way! On the back (non-printed) sides of your box, measure the width and mark the bottom center point with a dot. Measure up each side 1-2 inches (your choice) and mark those with dots as well. This was the hardest part, measuring to keep it even. Cut a diagonal line from the each side dot to the bottom center dot to for

Recycled Art - Soda Bottle Jellyfish

Faith and I got a cool book in the mail the other day to review for MomTrends (a site I sometimes write for). It's about making art from recycled materials, so we can't wait to try it. As well, this month's Family Fun magazine has a pretty cool cardboard dollhouse with egg carton furniture that we also want to try. But until we get on those two projects, we've got another one to share, thanks to her Brownie leaders. It's a soda bottle jellyfish, all out of recycled or scrap materials. To make Mr. Jellyfish, you'll need an empty/rinsed 2 liter soda bottle, leftover birthday ribbons and some scrap cardstock. You'll also need a good sharp pocket knife to cut the bottle and a hole puncher. For the body, cut the end of the bottle off, sand if needed to remove any sharp edges. Punch holes around the edges, then slip knot colored ribbon through each hole. Make eyes out of cardstock (we used my scrapbook tools for this) and adhere to the body. Vo

Girl Scout Cookie Booth Ideas

This year, Miss Faith and I decided to help add some decorations to our Girl Scout cookie booths. We lucked out to get some great cookie booth times, both on post and off. The sweet managers at our local Safeways were extra kind and let the girls set up in the store on two very cold days. The stop sign was easy to make, and required only minimal craft supplies--2 sheets of red card stock ($1 tops!), a 3/8" flat dowel from Michael's (about 79cents) and some white paint. Two of our neighbors were Faith's best customers, so we asked them if they would save us the boxes from the cookies. I used a steak knife to very carefully slice through each box, one at a time, then wove each one onto the dowel. The last box, I didn't pierce completely so the dowel wouldn't slip through. I added hot glue between each box to hold them in place. I cut octagons from both piece of card stock, Faith painted the stop on one of them, then hot glued them to the dowel rod a
