Another Fishing Lure Art Idea - add fisherman in his vest with fly-tying work stations .....

We used this concept during our VBS this year. The workshop was taught by one of our congregations avid fishermen. He wore his fishing vest while teaching and brought along fishing flies to show the children. For the workshop he had the children tie their own flies. He took a 5 ft piece of 2x4 and nailed 4 three inch pieces of 2x4 to the longer board. He spaced them so that he could place this board on a long table and the children could sit in front of their fly-tying work station. He then nailed a clothespin to the top of each of the smaller pieces. The clothespin then held the large fish hook that the children decorated with brightly colored feathers and pipe cleaners. They turned our beautiful. The kids were thrilled that they had a real fishing lure. He then put a small piece of styrofoam at the end of the hook to prevent any injuries.
