What a busy week! For those of you expecting an Ask a Crafter episode it will be posted tomorrow or you can catch it shortly on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/thefrugalcrafter">YouTube channel</a>. Every month I teach a craft class for children at my local library. I really enjoy the January craft as we celebrate Chinese New Year, it is fun to work up a project for each years zodiac sign, 2014 is year of the horse. check out the fun paper drums I made:</p>

<p>I used supplies from<a href="http://www.papermart.com/Home?origin=thefrugalcrafter"> Papermart</a>, stamps from <a href="http://www.artneko.com/displayItem/A343-HSHT">About Art Accents</a> and a few general crafting supplies to make these, watch the video to see how:</p>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe class='youtube-player' width='640' height='360' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/jcyfXuKq-_I?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent' allowfullscreen='true' style='border:0;' sandbox='allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation'></iframe></span>
<p>As I mentioned in the video I like to choose supplies from <a href="http://www.papermart.com/Home?origin=thefrugalcrafter">Papermart</a> that can be used for many crafts because they come in generous amounts. The <a href="http://www.papermart.com/colored-rat-tail-cord/id=10620#?origin=thefrugalcrafter">rat-tail cord</a> is beautiful in my handmade jewelry, top quality really, but it is cheap enough that I can use it for kids crafts too. The gold <a href="http://www.papermart.com/gold-silver-doilies/id=49793?origin=thefrugalcrafter">paper doilies</a> add glitz and<a href="http://www.papermart.com/fabric-ribbon/id=19023-INDEX?origin=thefrugalcrafter"> ribbon</a> and <a href="http://www.papermart.com/paper-raffia-ribbon/id=49659#?origin=thefrugalcrafter">raffia</a> can be used for nearly every craft if bought in generic themes and colors. I hope you try this craft with your children or grandchildren. Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!</p>
