Having kids over for an afternoon? Here’s a fun way to make your own personalized holiday cards!
Materials
- Cardstock
- Felt (You could use paper too!)
- Beads
- Floor protector pads for furniture
- Fabric scissors
- Fabric glue
- Tweezers (*Optional, but they are awesome for putting the beads into the glue!)
We always find these items helpful too:
- Smock
- Craft tray
Directions
- Don your smock. If you are working with a group, we suggest cutting each of the protector pad sheets into individual pieces as shown below. (For easier access!) You may want to put out the rest of the supplies in several trays between the kids. We used fabric glue, but white, craft glue would most likely work too!
- Peel your protectors off their paper and make the main body of the snowperson.
- Using your felt, cut out any decorative features for your snowperson and glue on your beads to create eyes, buttons, jewellery etc..
- Allow your snow people to dry overnight and write a note in the inside! (If you went with the black background as we did, use metallic pens to write your message!)
- We would love for you to share your personalized creations!
Purpose
- Creating engaging opportunities for writing.
- Celebrating various holidays.
Safety Notes
- We suggest that you wear a smock and use a craft tray to protect your clothing and surfaces.
- Use scissors with care and adult supervision.
