Craft item of the day

I just finished watching this video on Eric Bloodaxe (the king, not the hacker)



more HERE.

---------------------
So if you are teaching your innocent young children about the Dark Age Viking attacks, remind them that they were not only bloodthirsty bezerkers, but great tradesmen, explorers and merchants.

and to make the dull history lessons more interesting, try doing some of these crafts:






if your young knight wants to wear a chainmail type shirt, check out Kayray for the pattern


----------------------------------


And if you want to make a Viking Hat, check out EHow...you will have to get a milkjug, newspaper and duct tape.

(yes, I know: Viking hats didn't have horns, but never mind...you kid will think it's cool)...

a variation, using styrofoam cones and posterboard is HERE.

From Buttercup Miniatures:

a pattern on how to knit a chainmail coif for your Ken doll...




------------------------------------











or maybe you can just crochet your very own Amigurumi Viking Doll (or if you are lazy buy one HERE.)
