I have always liked the Flat Stanley idea and have always wanted to do a small scale family adapted type version, and for some reason just never have. But I am feeling artsy craftsy lately, plus Indiana is plenty far enough away from nieces and nephews for this idea to be totally fun, right? So Lola (the GPS) and I journeyed to Micheal's craft store the other day and purchased the makings of the little guy. Step 1, check!
Step 2, cut out all the pieces. I looked online for a pattern (see
here for an idea of the real deal), but I decided to just make my own... so I guess we can't technically call him Flat Stanley. Perhaps we'll have to come up with a different name...
Step 3, assemble pieces and add decoration and voila! Flat Stanley is born!! And lookin' spiffy if I do say so myself, I think he turned out alright. Now to plan an activity worthy of Flat Stanley's first official outing and send him on his way.

Cute idea. You'll have to post the concept. I'd never heard of him before.
ReplyDeleteIf only it was my original idea. You can look up the real Flat Stanley in the link I posted.
