JUNE MONTHLY BADGE

[Juju]

NO BUMMER SUMMER PATCH

https://advantageemblem.com/stock-products/fun-patches-pins/no-bummer-summer-patch-2/

Welcome, Glow Worms—this month, we’re all June Bugs and there are no bummers allowed at this beach party! 

For this month’s badge, please pick THREE of these offered tasks. 

I have divided them up into three categories: 

LOW for easy to do, simple tasks that should take about an hour or so, MEDIUM tasks that might take a few hours to complete and HIGH for extensive projects that might be a little taxing (especially if you’re feeling smol). 

Each category has options from totally free to spending a little money, depending on your comfort level and how much available spending we all have. 

So break out your floppiest hats, lather on some sunscreen, pop that umbrella and kick on back! 

Now—let’s get this party started! 

LEADERS THIS MONTH ARE:

@DaddyRaven

@beanbean

@Very Proud and Happy Daddy

@Tendillo

@shadowrideris a substitute in case we need one.

 

 

LOW: 

• Make a “trash” fish—Using containers, old scraps of fabric, straws, etc. make an art project to reflect the oceans and their lovely creatures. A bottle can make an absolutely fabulous jellyfish, but be careful with your scissors! 
• Build a UV reactive bracelet/necklace—using UV beads or reactive paints, make a wearable piece of jewelry to demonstrate the power of the sun! 
• Attend an outdoor concert or show—sometimes places won’t allow you take pics of the actors so a ticket stub is a great way to commemorate an outdoor event!
• Make summer popsicles—fruit juice, edible flowers and herbs, spicy add ons like Chamoy and Tajin, a chocolate dip, nuts, all make wonderful snacks all summer long! 
• Visit a local park and take pictures of five (5) different flowers or plants that are around! 

 

MEDIUM: 

• Make a signature ice cream flavor—Nutella, chocolate cookie dough chunk, super strawberry cheesecake surprise—this can be done with heavy cream, a blender, and your freezer, no fancy machines required! 
• Have an indoor/outdoor campout—everybody pull out your sleeping bags and your stuffies, we’re camping out! Whether you create a tent with some blankets and your furniture or you go all out, wilderness survivor style, spend the night “roughing it” your style! 
• Make an origami bouquet—using fancy paper or paint, fold up some flowers that will never die! Stems can be made with straws or pipe-cleaners! 
• Glass painting—get some cheap glass jars, vases, or other glassware and paint them up! Some even are transparent and can look like stained glass windows! 
• Shell candles—Using shells, old candles, and small bits of wick, carefully pour wax into sea shells and add wicks. You can even add decorations on top like sand, smaller candles, or other wax add-ins! 

 

HIGH: 

• Visit your nearest beach—this is not feasible for many people, so if this is something that interests you but it’s too far to trek, look up your closest one and what makes it unique. Does it have a high number of crabs or a specific type of fish? Does it have sea turtle hatches every spring? 
• Take a class—now is the time to learn something new! Scuba certifications, surfing, cooking classes, dancing, there’s a million opportunities to learn and join the community while doing so! 
• Go stargazing—this is something that you can do with an app like SkyView (free!), a telescope, or even visiting your local planetarium! 
• Make a summer outfit—for all my sewists out there, this is for you! Get out a project and either use or make a pattern for a cute summer outfit and/or a new stuffed summertime friend! 
• Backyard BBQ—this can be done on the grill or in the oven! Make a spread to share or just for one! 

Summertime is for fun times! Stay cool, stay safe, and have fun!
