KIDS CHRISTMAS CRAFTS
- REIGHNDEER LOOT BAGS:
- take a lunch bag and cut the top to resemble little antlers-just simple
- shapes not too detailed-then you glue on googly eyes red pompoms for a nose
- and a bow around the bottom and it made a cute reindeer. You could use
- constuction paper for eyes and nose also.Can you picture it???
- SANTA ORNAMENTS:
- For each santa you need a 1 1/2" flat circle of Styrofoam about 1/2" thick
- 12 sections cut from a red chenille pipe cleaner- cut at the narrow parts.
- Each piece will be about 3 1/2" long. Twelve gold beads that will fit on
- the narrow end of the pipe cleaners. 1 reg. pipe cleaner(red) and a santa
- face that has a wire coming out of the back. (Like a flower pic)
- Insert pointy (narrow) end of red chenille pipe cleaner into the side of the
- styrofoam disc. insert the others all the way around except at the top. Add
- a gold bead to the other end of the Chenille pipe cleaners. At the top use
- the reg. red pipe cleaner to form a hanger. On the front of the styrofoam
- insert santa face. These would be cute done with any holiday color stems and those pics. I
- thought I saw Leprechauns and bunnies at the store.
- CHRISTMAS CANDLES:
- What to do with broken crayons...
- Recycle them!
- break into 1-inch pieces. Place three or four pieces of a
- similar color into a microwaveable cup. Place cup in microwave on top of a
- paper towel. Cook on high 3-5 min. stirring occasionally. (Caution: cup gets
- hot.) After wax is melted hold the cup with a pot holder and pour the melted
- wax into a cookie cutter that has been placed on waxed paper. To create a
- layered effect, pour wax into a small section of the cookie cutter;allow to
- cool, then pour another color over the first layer until you have seral layers
- of color. Clean cup with a paper towel before wax hardens. When wax is hard
- push forms out of cookie cutters.
- FINALLY, SOMETHING TO DO WITH FILM CANNISTERS!:
- with film container you will remove the top and glue a 1'' green pompom to the
- top of cylinder. then glue 2 moveable eyes and a scrap pies of red felt for
- the mouth then glue the lid to the back of head and you will have oscar the
- grouch
