CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS Be creative and make some dazzling decorations for your Christmas tree! You will need: - 2 foam sheets and/or pre-cut Christmas foam shapes
- Glue
- Glitter
- Sequins
- Stick-on jewels
- Colored markers
- Small pompoms and buttons
- Pieces of trim
- Thin gold ribbon
- Hole punch
FOR SNOWMAN , SNOWFLAKE and GINGERBREAD MAN Use pre-cut foam shapes as these will make the project easier! Punch in a hole on the top corner of each ornament (or carefully poke through with a toothpick). Use the pens to colour the snowman’s hat, eyes, nose, mouth and mittens. Use the pens to colour the gingerbread man’s eyes and mouth. Stick on pompoms for the snowman’s “coat” and jewels for coat buttons; let dry. The gingerbread man can have trim around his neck and pompom buttons. Decorate his arms and legs with a pen; allow everything to dry. - For the snowflake, simply decorate front and back with rhinestones. Apply glue on the sides and then sprinkle on the glitter. Let dry.
FOR SHAPES Cut out your favorite shapes: diamond, star, etc. from the foam sheets. Make a hole at the top of each. Apply glue all over the foam. Sprinkle some glitter, avoiding the edges. Carefully apply sequins along outer edge. Apply glue along sides. Put glitter on the sides; allow to dry . Thread the ribbon through the hole.
The ornaments are ready to hang on your tree!
