3D Christmas Noel

Lovely 3D Noel lettering

 

 

OK this is not a quick craft but well worth the effort and once you have mastered the craft knife you can try this with all sorts of words not just Christmas words.

  

 

OK you will need Printed lettering of your choice I used Noel

A sharp craft knife

Foam packing in sheets about an inch thick, this is so the letters will stand up

some coloured or patterned paper

 



 

Stick the lettering on to the foam

when dry cut out each letter carefully!! Lets make sure we keep our fingers please. The craft knife needs to be really sharp so that you cut through the letters and not have to saw through them.

 

 

 

This is the sort of thing that you will have after the letters have been cut out.

Now draw around the letter on the backside of the paper you want to cover the letters, remember to put the letters face down on the paper and then draw around them, not like i did and wasted half my patterned paper!!!

 

 

 

There you have it have a go you'll be glad you did!

Mr Frosty the Snowman!

 

 

 

This is a really easy and fun snowman craft to do with children.

 

 

First start with a cut out of a snow man

 

 

What i did with Dylan was to glue all the snowman template and let Dylan go wild with the cotton wool balls.

 

 

Dylan in the zone!



Add black paper circles for eyes a mouth and the buttons, don't cut them perfectly after all they are meant to be coal shaped!

 

 

Finish off with a cut out of a hat and a scarf, our scarf is a fluffy pipe cleaner that we had from a set i bought ages ago, you could cut out a coloured piece of card or use some pieces of wool.

Free Paper christmas tree ideas

 

 

Paper Christmas trees

 

 

This is a great craft to do with the kids. They can be left to do lots of sticking and create their very own individual Christmas tree.

 

 

you will need green paper cut in to a Christmas tree shape. In each tree cut a slit in one from the top to the middle and the other from the bottom of the tree to the middle. this will enable the tree to be slotted together later.

 

 

 

You will also need glitter pipe cleaners for the tinsel, pom poms and foam shapes or whatever you have to decorate the tree.

 

 

Dylan getting creative with the tree.

 

 

Once the tree has been decorated leave it to dry. When dry slot the two pieces together and wrap around the pipe cleaners as you would tinsel.

 

If you don't have the items listed above use something else,paint, glitter glue, wool, whatever you have to hand remember its about getting the kids involed.

 

Voila you have a fabulous Christmas tree!!

Go on have a go get the children involved.
