Recommendations and ideas for this craft
As you could see in the video, this craft is very simple and quick to make, so it will be ideal to do with children and spend quality time with them.
To make them, I used colored paper I had at home, which I had previously cut into 7cm x 7cm squares, but you can use any paper you have on hand; just keep in mind that you need to cut them to those dimensions. If you use cardstock, your nails will be more durable, but it will be a little harder to bend them.
Once made, you can decorate them however you like by painting them or even sticking on some decorations.
You can use these nails to play with them, to complement your costume, or even simply to have a fun time.
