Today the girls and I did our first Christmas Craft for the season (that being said, hopefully we will get to others in the next month :) ).
We made Thumbprint Reindeer Ornaments. This was created based on several ideas online and through a little creativeness. They were VERY inexpensive to make - and easy to reproduce. The girls LOVED putting their thumbs in paint! We made a total of 24 and they didn't get bored (this is a first!) Of course all they did were the thumbprints - I did the detail. Kaelin did help me to glue on the pipe cleaners.
We took clear glass ornaments and the girls put 2 thumbprints on each side (one side for H and one side for K).
Then I took some heavy duty glue to glue on Antlers and a tail. I used a black paint pen for feet, eye and nose, and to write which child created it below the reindeer (though you cannot see the name well in the picture). I also used a red paint pen for a nose and to write 2010 on the ball.
I tied a piece of ribbon on the ball for a 'hook'.
FYI MOMS - Here is what we used:
Clear Glass Ornaments (These were at a craft store for $3.99 for 12)
Brown Acrylic Paint ($.99)
Black/Red Paint Pens ($1.99 each - planning to use again)
Brown Pipe Cleaner ($.79)
Glue (make sure it will work on glass)
Ribbon
I also made little tags for the ones we are giving away that say: Merry Christmas!!!
With Love,
Kaelin & Hailey Magee
