CIRCUS THEMED CREATIVE ARTS & CRAFTS ( DIY ) IDEAS FOR BOTH KIDS & ADULTS

Hello dear ideas! Today I'm back with some circus themed art & crafts ideas that are suitable for both children and adults. They are fairly simple to do and not time consuming at all. You can do these crafts with the young ones or by yourself. If you're looking for some easy circus themed DIY ideas, you've come to the right place. 

I have been testing all of these circus themed art & crafts ideas while working in the tourist animation sector this summer, so I figured why not share some of those ideas with you. During the course of this summer, I've held a number of creative mini club Circus themed workshops and they were a lot of fun to do. 

These circus themed crafts are great if you're looking for something creative to do. Moreover, these DIY projects can also make for wonderful handmade gift ideas. Why not make a circus themed notebook or a birthday card for someone? 


CIRCUS THEMED NOTEBOOKS AND SKETCHBOOKS

This is a great activity that is suitable for both children and adults. You can make the notebook design as easy or as sophisticated as you want. 

WHAT YOU NEED?

1. MODELING PAPER

2. ORDINARY PAPER

3. GLUE 

4.  SCISSORS

5. PAPER STAPLER 


HOW TO MAKE IT?

What you need to do first is to cut the covers for your notebook from modelling paper. The next step is cut some paper (in size matching to the covers) from ordinary paper. You can use regular A4 printing paper, just cut it to the size you intend for your notebook. You attach the papers together using the glue or paper stapler (whatever you prefer). 

Finally, you decorate the covers. Now, you can let you imagination run wild or turn to some simple designs (triangles for the circus tend for example). You can use markers or coloring pencils to draw circus animals or decorations.  Use scraps of leftover paper to me more sustainable!

    Hey Ivana, I am super happy to se you here back on Moda Odaradosti.

    I have seend some of these incredible arts and crafts that you have shared with the kids you're working with and the creativity in these pieces blow my mind! I was the kind of kid that was into this kind of funny activities (specially during summer on holidays) and I flew to those good old days :)

    I liked all the colors you selected for the activity and the fact that you went for a specific theme: circus. For me it is one of those topics that admite multiple possibilities! I liked them all but the notebook is so special, it is an item that you can keep using after the crafty session :)

    Take care!

    Very fun post dear. Kids must have enjoyed being crafty with you. It's always a nice thing to get into creative mood as your craft idea reminded me of my childhood days playing with colorful papers, glue, scissors and sometimes glitter! It's all about letting your imagination run free. Wishing you a lovely weekend there and come back with more fun posts, when you find the time <3

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following ...

VISIT SINJ (CROATIA) WITH ME! EXPLORE THE DALMATIAN HIGHLANDS!

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Regular readers of my blog will know that I'm Dalmatian and ' parce mihi Domine,' (as St. Jerome's supposedly used to pray). Dalmatia is one of four historical Croatian regions. When we're talking about coastal regions in Croatia, there are only two: Istria and Dalmatia. Occupying the majority of Croatian seaside, Dalmatia is extremely popular with tourists. Dalmatian coast is quite long, including hundreds of islands, and running from Zadar in the north do Dubrovnik to the south.  However, there's more to Dalmatia than its seaside and islands.  I'm from the seaside myself, a proper sea child and all,  but I love the Dalmatian Highlands. Rich in history and culture, Dalmatia Highlands are unique in many ways. From culinary delicacies to fascinating traditions, from untouched nature to picturesque towns and villages, you'll find much to admire here. Have I blogged about it before? I certainly did. I blogged about the Gr...

BURGUNDY AND YELLOW OUTFIT IN SPLIT CITY

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll show you an autumn outfit I wore for a seaside stroll with my family in Split city, Croatia. This outfit is another example of me shopping my closet, so you can expect the sustainable fashion files to kick in any minute. This was a very comfortable outfit to wear that also felt very energizing. Probably it was due to colour therapy and all that. Wearing colours often makes me feel better. Mustard yellow and burgundy are the main colours in this look, and I do love these colours together. I dressed in layers, for it was quite windy and fresh despite the warm sun.  As regular readers of my blog know, Split is my home city, and you can find me there very often. In fact, you could say that I live between Split and Mostar. I love Mostar, but I do miss the sea. Is there anything better than seaside in Autumn and Winter? I always love being near the sea, but during the Autumn and Winter when there are hardly any people aroun...

WHAT I WORE IN MOSTAR FOR WONDERFULLY WARM AND SUNNY AUTUMN DAYS

Image
 Hello readers and fellow bloggers! Happy Sunday! In this post, I'll share three warm Autumn outfits I wore for strolling around Mostar city. Today is quite cold and cloudy for our Mediterranean standards, so the plan is to stay in and catch up with blogging. I've had a pretty eventful weekend so far. Weekend sometimes seem to just fly by, don't they? We often try to make up for the things we didn't do during the week, especially us ladies. We try to fit in all in- to clean the house, do chores and that sort of things. Sometimes weekends can even be tiring. There are conferences and meetings to attend. Learning how to shut down and rest properly can be a challenge. Life gets busy, and sometimes the older we get, the more busy it becomes. That's why I'm so grateful for these little outings I do, being a tourist in my own city and country- that sort of thing. I sometimes feel like I mastered sustainable and local travel . The challenge is just finding the time to ...

30 PLUS WAYS TO WEAR AN OLIVE BLAZER (SUSTAINABLE FASHION FILES)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, we'll talk some more about  sustainable fashion. As I believe the best way to learn is through example, so I'll show you multiple ways how to style an olive green blazer. On this little digital place to call my own, I love to show you how you can be more sustainable by shopping your closet. The more you love items in your closet and the better care you take of your clothes, you easier you'll find it to shop your closet. So, that's something to keep in mind! Besides linking up outfits with this blazer, I'll link up multiple ways to wear other items in my closet. As always, there will be fun collages to help you see the vision- how chic and fun restyling items can be! Olive green can be somewhat of an underrated colour, even if it is trending at the moment. For Autumn/Winter 2024/2025, tonal dressing in olive greens and khakis is right on trend. I'm convinced that when styled right, olive green can look good wi...

THE LUNCHEON & THE THREE FAT WOMEN OF ANTIBEST , TWO SHORT STORIES BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM (REVIEWS)

Image
Hello! In this post, I'll review two short stories by British author William Somerset Maugham. Both of these shorts stories are on the humorous side. One of these stories feels more serious than the other, but both are quite short, so they are a wonderful choice if you're short on time. As the titles The Luncheon and The Three Fat Women of Antibest imply , both of these short stories are about food, or perhaps better to say- about our relationship with food. As our human relationship with food is often marked by our human obsession with looks, one can examine food from a psychological point of view. That's what Maugham did in these stories.  I reviewed one of Maugham's humorous stories earlier this month. On second of November, I shared  my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper .  I enjoyed that story a great deal, and thought it was wonderfully humours. Although, most of that story happens during a conversation at a luncheon, it's...
