Hello, my name is Denise Robinson, and I'm a set designer for television and film. And,
I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. There are many different styles that you can decorate
your home or office space. Today, I'm going to use an African influenced theme to create
inexpensive decorative items. We're going to make a rain stick by using rice to fill
it, tassels on the end, and material to cover it. We're going to make a decorative pillow
by using raffia, beads, which I took from one of my beaded belts, and some twine to
connect it to the edges of the pillow. We going to make a smaller shaker by using beans
instead of rice, some material to cover it with, and some twine to give it an extra little
look too. And, with that all in mind, we're going to do that and you can possibly have
your kids join you to create some of these crafts that are easy to make.
