You will need a ruler, scissors, 6-inch metal ring, assorted color beads, two clothespins, glue, beige leather or suede lacing and cotton twist cord. Spread glue on the first inch of the lacing, and hold the lacing onto the ring using a clothespin. Wrap the lacing around the ring until it reaches the spot where the student will glue both ends together and hold the lacing in place with clothespin. Roll the cotton cord into a ball, and knot and glue one end around the metal ring. Tie six half hitches every three inches around the ring. Now, begin tying half hitches in the middle of the cord, until three more circles of half hitches have been completed. Double-knot the cord, then seal with glue. Create dangles by adding beads to the lace and tying an end to the bottom of the ring.
You will need is scissors, pencil, four straight twigs, scrap paper, glue, large brown paper bag, yarn and crayons or markers. Bind the twigs together toward the top using yarn. Make sure the twigs are not bound too tight. Gently bend or adjust the twigs so they form the frame of the tepee. Trace the tepee shape on paper. Cut out the shape and trace four triangles onto the brown paper bag. Cut out the triangles. Be sure that the student cuts them so each triangle is connected. Fold the paper along each of the pencil lines and wrap around the tepee frame, then seal with glue.
Before you begin, you will need to acquire scissors, glue, markers or crayons and construction paper. If you go to a your local craft store you may even find various colored feathers your students can use on their headdress. Cut out a strip of brown construction paper lengthwise, and be sure the strip is two to three inches wide. Place the strip around each child's head to determine the proper fit. The students may choose to decorate the strip with Native American designs. Glue the ends of the strip together. Draw, color and cut out various feather shapes. Glue the feathers to the back of the brown strip, where the ends were glued together.
You will need a toilet paper tube, yarn, beads, scissors, glue, piece of tan felt, one piece of colored felt, two pipe cleaners, wiggle craft eyes and small feathers. Cover the cardboard tube with tan felt and seal with glue. Cut off any excess felt. Cut a vest shape from the colored felt, and glue onto the tube. Take a brown pipe cleaner and cut it in half. Cut a length of the colored felt about one inch wide, and glue the pipe cleaner in the middle of the felt, leaving a bit hanging out from the end of the felt. Glue tiny pieces of yarn hanging from the pipe cleaner and the bottom end of tube. Glue the two wiggle eyes onto the tube, and have the students draw a nose and mouth to complete the face. Glue a feather from the top end of the tube, making a headdress.
