At Grant Middle School on 3/7/13,
6th graders combined metal and fiber in new ways to create a structured and functional piece of jewelry.
 |
| made by wrapping yarn around bent metal hair pins |
Day One:
Students will bend hair pins to make closed shapes, which they will order into a pattern to be linked together.
 |
| supplies provided: ribbon, scissors, wire, needles, hair pins, and yarn |
Day Two:
Students will knot, thread and wrap around through and hanging from metal shapes.
 |
| student wrapped all of her links in pink and red yarn and now is braiding yarn |
 |
| threading braid through wrapped linked pieces |
 |
Student's final bracelet
|
 |
| heart and diamond shaped links wrapped and hanging from ribbon |
 |
wire bangle, top linked hearts wrapped in pastel yarn, and wire base wrapped in pastel ribbons
|
 |
| the tool bow with curled ribbon hanging down adds extra dimension |
 |
| this bracelet has a very rich feeling with thick yarn that is wrapped and wound tightly |
 |
student hand crotched a piece for around the neck
|
 |
| the weight of this piece is clearly centered and focused in the center |
 |
| this necklace has a nice sense of asymmetry and is simple clean and balanced |
