I know its last
minute to rally up the energy to make ornaments while you are getting gifts
ready and food menus done but I have to recommend a tradition we have here.
When I get the chance these last few days before Christmas I pull out the Fimo
or sculpy which ever I happen to have and make a family ornament. It’s very
simple, you start with green and make a wreath, and you can roll out three long
strands and braid it or roll it into a ring and use a butter knife to add texture.
then you use a flesh color and roll a little ball for each member of the house
you want on the ornament, after the round heads are made I smash them little to
flatten them then using red I make little hats, I have to wash my hands at this
point because the red stain is all over my hands and I need to use white to
trim the hats and add the pom poms. I roll out a red ribbon too for the bow .After
I have the wreath all set and each member of the family on it I bake it at 275
or 30 minutes and poof I have a lasting decoration all the little hands in the house
helped me make, I just love it! Here are
some pictures for you to see, the kids had a lot of fun with me this year and I
am so glad I took the time to make it, I do wish that I’d make one for each
child so when they move up and out in the world they’d have one to take with
them, in fact when I am done blogging here I may just go make a few more so
they each have one. If you have any questions please ask, and if you make any please
share your pictures with me I’d love to see your creative minds working. !
