From So family Blog: Family Craft

Hey everyone, guess what time it is? It's craft time.  And this is a special craft for the family.  Since it's the holidays, it's only right that I do a holiday craft post.  Yesterday's post was about the gift wrapping and today it's about the decorating.  So, who's ready to craft?  I was actually inspired to do this craft when I saw handmade felt garland on sale at a store.  When I looked at it I knew I could do my own version.  My version is the construction paper, easy to do at home with the kids version.  Hope you like it!  Please tell me what you think.  I love to read your thoughts.

1.  Cut out construction paper in your shape of chocie.  I chose to cut out small Christmas trees.  You can cut as little as 10 and as many as 20.  The amount and shape is totally up to you.

2.  Punch holes at the top of your shapes.  You can use a hole puncher for this step (makes it easier). 

3.  I love to use ribbon whenever I can.  Choose your ribbon, string or wire (your choice). 

4.  Pull the ribbon through all of the cut-outs.  Depending on the width of the ribbon, you may have to fold the ribbon when pulling it through.  


5.  I chose the easy way to decorate my trees, by using peel and stick foam shapes.  You can let the kids get creative with the decorating.  You can use glitter, stickers, markers, crayons and just about anything.

6.  You don't have to decorate each shape.  You can actually leave some solid ones in there.

7.  Some of the shapes can have very simple decorations, like a big silver star.  I love it!

8.  Last but not least drap your gorgeous garland arpund your Christmas tree.  And don't forget to take some pictures of the families work.  Beautiful!  Enjoy!

Did your family make any decorations at home this holiday season?  Do your kids enjoy making crafts?
