Your sentences don't make sense. I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Good luck Stacy and have fun!!!!

Macrame was big in the 70's, my mom was always making horrible stuff to "decorate" the house with. :-X also they'd take glass soda bottles and decorate them, and make little dolls out of them. Paper mache' is another craft I remember from the 70s.

I remember making godseyes. You had coffee stirs or popicle sticks, cross them and wrapped color thread around them. Some of them turned out really cool looking. Most of the ones I made only had two stirs. I have seen them which used three. Did anyone else ever make these?

Oh yeah!!!! And those jars with the layers of different colored sand. We made those in the 70's at girl scout camp!!! Oh man..... I was a girl scout?????!!!! What happened...???!!! :o
Subject: Re: 70S HELP
Another one I remember is making table mats/coasters out of used matches!
You'd get a piece of plywood and lie say 15 matchsticks on the wood and keep going so you'd get a checkerboard effect
- when finished, simply lacquer and there you have it, gifts for the whole family ;D

In Iowa, we were Camp Fire Girls, not Girl Scouts, sorry.......
but, no one suggested smores? Even toasting marshmellows in a fireplace or over the gas stove works when not around a camp fire.
Subject: Re: 70S HELP
Mmm, smores! I think I'll light a fire in the fireplace tonight and make some!
I was a girl scout for only about a year. I remember decoupage as being the hip thing back then. That's when you cut out various pieces of colored paper (tissue paper, magazine photos of flowers, etc), and then shellac'ed them to a jar, bottle, whatever.

decoupage, wire art, string art.. (pound these little tacks into a felt covered board usually black background felt, and make a shape with the tacks , for example a flower or a horse or something, then you would string the wire or string into this trippy looking laser like depiction of the design. hard to explain here.. but I remember doing it..) also those little keychains that you'd make with the plastic laces...and someone mentioned the string around the popsicle sticks I think those were called godseyes.. very aztec looking. oh yeah , and mosaics.. with the little broken tile pieces and plaster.
I made a trivet in 4th grade for my grandmother. Also Pottery was big then, and ceramics.
Latch Hook rugs were big also. I think everyone was making one in 1977. :)
