Christmas Crafts

One of the first things we made was a snowman centerpiece. I made mine skiing.

This was a foam kit for a ginger house. I thought it was fun, although the sticky stuff is not very good.

We also made "Some of my favorite things" picture frames.This is the one i made for my dad and it is all of his favorite things.One the front of the snowman and the ginger bread house are warm fuzzies - little spiky guys with antennas.

we also made shoe box nativities. we looked all over for animals to use but we could not find them anywhere, So we made puffball fuzzie's.

That is it for our crafts this month. We will see you in the new year. Merry Christmas!!

Our Christmas Nativity

This is our nativity set made out of a shoe box. The manger we made out of Popsicle sticks.  The trees and people our made of foam. The reindeer are made of pom poms. We hope you like it. We have many plans for Christmas. so check back often.

other crafts

some polymer clay crafts

We tried making eggshell mosaics using wooden discs, paint ,eggshells, tacky glue, alcohol inks, and Aleene's clear gel tacky glue. they are of medium difficulty but very fun.We will be making them into jewelry very soon.

Halloween finger food

there are cheese stick bloody fingers, carrot and cream cheese eye balls, we had potato skin ghost, and bloody mummy toes. We also have pizza and turkey dog mummies. It was fun too make and very very good.

To make the table pretty we made Frankenbottle.We took water with food coloring and put it in a jar. Then we decorated the bottle. And he glows in the dark.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween is coming ... are you ready???? We have been working on Halloween projects. We have painted, glued, and re-glued. So far we have finished a few projects that we would like to share with you. First, we made black cats and ghosts.

These cats and ghosts will glow in the dark since we used glow in the dark paint. Couldn't get a good picture of that to show you though. Next we painted coffins ... to be on a platform that will also glow in the dark. Kenzie was in deep thought while painting her coffin. Below is the finished inside of the coffins.

Next was the project of painting the base of our platforms and gluing all different Halloween items to it. These platforms will be used as table centerpieces for the holiday. Note: on some of the items we had to use a hot glue gun. I am not sure it that is because it is so humid here that Elmer's glue did not dry over night or if we just needed a better glue ... but no worries, it all turned out great in the end.
