...and the ornaments are up.
We've put up the Christmas cards we've received, and prepared a batch of cards to go out.
Todd is faithfully opening up his daily advent calendar. I just cut old envelopes in half and stamped the date...
...and filled them with silly jokes, Bible verses, songs, and other little things.
I've been in a rush, because we're getting ready to start our hectic Christmas season, full of family time. I had time, though, to pound out one final Christmas craft and hastily photograph it this morning before it gets tossed in a suitcase.Star Wars snowflakes!
These weren't nearly as difficult as I expected. I went to Anthony Herrera's website and downloaded the templates for the characters. The printout shows a large circle sectioned off like a color wheel, with one sliver showing half of a Star Wars character's face. You cut out the circle, fold it in half, and fold it, accordian-style, until the character's face is at the top of your wedge. Then, using scissors and a sharp X-acto knife, just cut out the shaded areas.
I made General Ackbar...
Yoda...
C-3PO...
Storm Troopers...
Boba Fett...
...and Darth Vader.
It's a great craft for kids and Star Wars fans alike!Signing off until next year...have a great holiday season!

ReplyDeleteThanks! They aren't as hard as they look...although I did slice up my finger and bleed all over the back of the Yoda snowflake!
