Sharing A Few Crafts...

Here's a few crafts we made over the last few days....  

Scrapbook Paper Hands Wreath

I traced Nathan's hands on several sheets of green paper and cut out some red "berries" using scrapbook paper. 


We glued the hands to a wreath shape, cut out of poster board



Then glued the berries to the hands


All we need now is a cute ribbon to hang it up


Recycled Card Ornaments

Here's an idea for all those cards from years past.


We used old recycled cards, scissors, pipe cleaners, paper fasteners and a hole punch.  You can use ribbon instead of the pipe cleaner if you want.


Cut the front pictured side of the card into strips


Then punch a hole on both ends of the strips



Next thread the cards onto a paper fastener (both sides)





Bend it inwards and start spreading the strips out like a fan (it makes a ball)



Take the pipe cleaner and loop it around the fastener forming a circle


These make cute little tree ornaments


Winter Wonderland Scene

Same idea as our fall scene, but using winter foam stickers.  I bought these foam stickers at Walmart.  They had Santa and Snowmen and I couldn't decide, so I bought both.  They come in a clear tree shaped box.

I glued several sheets of blue construction paper together and cut out snow using white paper and wavy scissors.  I also made a fireplace and fire with red, brown, yellow and orange construction paper




Nathan wasn't the only one having fun...Caught ya Sissy!


Someone else decided it looked like fun too....




We added some "falling" snow by using some white paint






We will be working on more fun stuff....stay tuned!

Super cute! I did a hand/foot reindeer and applied it to an apron for the DIL. I am thinking she might like a wreath too! :)
