I actually just made this exact same craft with my kids last week! And let me tell you I am not crafty! They loved it!
I had not heard of the 19th century box guitars. What a testimony to creativity and filling a need for musical entertainment. And how fun those instruments descendants are for kids today!
My boys would LOVE THIS. Thanks for the great idea!! :o)
My kids would love this!!
very crafty.
holy crap andrea.. . you are crafty! Will you make one for me! We can jam together! :)
Now THAT looks like fun! My son just started guitar lessons, and my daughter piano. My oldest plays the violin. Just call us the Partridge Family!
This is so cute! We are wrapping up G week here and I am going to try to find the stuff to make this (under very careful supervision) tomorrow.
Thanks for the great idea and tutorial. :) My twins especially love guitars, so this will be right up their alley.
Very cool kidlet craft. I suspect my guitar-playing son would have liked that some 12 years ago. :) Thanks for your visit to my blog.
Nice! Do some more posts with recycled stuff! I've got an overflowing recyle bin I keep forgetting to take out.
oh i love this idea!!
the teacher in me is giddy :)
I love your site! I am an elementary school teacher and mom of 2. My oldest daughter is 3 and has always loved music. She's one of those kids that seems to really "feel" the music and can hear a song once and sing the tune back to you. Anyway, I am glad you commented on my WW so that I found your blog. This is great and I will visit often!
What a fun and easy craft idea! I love it!
You have an award on my blog.
We tried the guitar - I'll have photos on my Wednesday post!
I'll just have to do this with my son. Oh I know he'll love it!
This is such a neat activity:)
Thanks for stopping by my blog, I emailed a response to your comment, but I'm not sure if it will ever make its way to you as when I sent it, it sent to noreply-comment@blogger.com . . . not sure what that means . . .
I love this idea!!! I will definitely be doing this one with my kids soon! Thanks for stopping by the other day! We are almost home from vacation!
Great idea!!
I love your blog, thanks for all the tips!!
I remember making these when I was a kid. This is something I'll have to do with Lily once the other two start back to school. I'm doing preschool with her this year so this will go along with that nicely. Thanks!
Now THAT is a craft even I could do! Very neat.
Interesting story as for me. It would be great to read a bit more about that matter. Thanks for giving this information.
