Silver and girls Day 1



Project One - So, my daughter had a few friends around over the weekend and I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to get started on the 12 Christmas Crafts challenge!  Our first project was making tree decorations using what we had lying around (metallic craft card, glitter glue, ribbons...)

We drew out the designs onto the back of the card pieces, which we folded in half to make two images the same.  Next, as responsible grown up (who me?!) I cut out the shapes for the kids, these included two Christmas trees, a shooting star and a Snowman.  The kids then let rip with the glitter glue and ribbons, while I sat and pondered the sanity of my decision to let them use the glitter.  The table did however survive the ordeal after a good clean up!

After leaving them to dry for a few hours, they were ready to put on the tree.  So while we were waiting the kids and I decided to crack on with project 2, some baking...
