final Christmas craft...

We finished the Christmas craft that I told you about here.  It is super simple, super cute and lots of fun.

I bought some plain colored ornaments at the store.  I painted Ashlyn and Landon's hands with white paint...

and then placed the ornament in their palm and helped them slowly close their fingers around the ornament.PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
I love that you can see our whole family in this picture.  Can you find us? PhotobucketPhotobucket
I even let them use glitter!  I know, me, I let them use glitter...and it was my idea!  What is happening to me?!PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
After they dried we drew snowmen faces on with a Sharpie.  We cut out scarves from scraps of felt and Ashlyn even added some falling snow.

Landon even (unintentionally) made some snuggling snowmen.

I love these ornaments.  The kids loved making this Christmas craft.  Ok, ok....I did too!  Maybe I like crafting after all.  Maybe!

What a cute ornament idea - I love this! I found your blog through InstaFriday and I'm so glad I did. I will be back when I have more time to look around. Nice to "meet" you, and a Merry Christmas to you!

Wow! Miracles actually do happen! MY daughter doing a craft with the kids AND using the dreaded glitter!
To say I am shocked is an understatement. :D
I'm looking forward to seeing more crafty stuff with the kids from you now.....
