So our rainy weekend craft continued into Sunday afternoon. We started making Christmas decorations!
Materials; scrap card, and any shiny, sparkly or pretty things you have on hand! We had a pack of Christmas themed sequins from last year that came in handy
We just used a plastic cup to trace around, leaving a small section for the top of the bauble.
We all decorated 2 each. Some of the decorations had sticky stuff on the back, others required glue. The kids made sure they used 500 times more glue than they needed – as you’d expect.
Due to excess glue, we left them over night to dry. Yes, all that white stuff is glue.
Draw half the tree
Using a large piece of card board ($1.50 from a news agent), draw the silhouette of one side the tree, starting at the top of the page to get the most out of your $1.50
Fold the card over and cut along the line, so both sides are identical.
Fold in half down the centre of the tree and cut along outline, to create a symmetrical tree. Or, if you’re not OCD about that kind of thing like me, just draw a tree and cut it out!
Loosely position everything to make sure it fits, then start sticking. We used double sided photo mounting tape so we didn’t have to wait even longer for glue to dry. The tinsel is stapled at each edge.
And there you have it!
