this craft idea i got from my neighbor AMY.
i save christmas cards.
and i make my husband bring home his corporate cards he gets at work too....and his co-workers' cards too.
:)
so this year i took my stack and used my OLD creative memories rotary circle cutter and cut them up.
you could use a circle punch from a craft store too.
or cut them by hand.
or use circle dot stickers in the office supply isle instead.....
i put green paint on a paper plate and they stamped their hand into it.
and made a tree.
three hand prints across the bottom.
then two.
then one.
they added a star out of yellow construction paper.
and GLITTER.
the glitter stuck to the wet paint.
then they covered their tree with ornaments.....christmas card circles.
i let them use the mini hot glue guns to stick the ornaments on.
i just bought enough for everyone to have their own....the are $3 at wal-mart.
we will get LOTS of use out of them....worth it.
annie decided it was for her teacher so she wrote a greeting on it.
sean decided to paint his greeting.
this was minimally messy even with paint and glitter.
all three kids REALLY liked it.
and it was actually done very quickly.
are you having fun crafting at your house?
or do you think i am crazy lady who has way too much time and hot glue on her hands.....
