Christmas Tree Ornament

 Christmas Tree Ornament with Cinnamon Sticks 

These are cute and smell great! I made these to hang on out tree this year. I love that they were super easy to make so the kids were able to make some too. 

All you need is cinnamon sticks, some cute ribbon, string and hot glue!




Supply List

Cinnamon Sticks

Ribbon (with wire works best, but is not necessary)

String or hooks for hanging

Hot glues gun and Glue

Drill with a small drill bit (optional)


Follow these few steps to make these cute ornaments!

1. To hang your ornament you will need a string or a hook connected to the cinnamon stick. I used a drill with a very small drill bit to put a hole through one end of the cinnamon stick. I then put the string through the hole to have a hanger. If you don't want to make a hole you could also tie a sting around the cinnamon stick and secure it with some hot glue. 

2. Tie some ribbon pieces on your cinnamon stick making them shorter to longer from top to bottom. If you are using wired ribbon they will stick out from the sides better. If you are not using wired ribbon you will be able to glue them to the cinnamon stick a little so they will stick out. 

3. Using the hot glue help secure the ribbons to the cinnamon stick if necessary. 

4. Now you are done and have a cute ornament to hang on your tree or even use as a gift! 

Happy Holidays!

Fish Craft for Summer



Gone Fishing!



What a fun craft for the kids to make during the summer. On the days it's too hot out and we are stuck inside it is the best time to make a craft! 


Materials:


Directions:




  1. Get all materials ready on a washable surface. 
  2. Cut our a fish shape from one color of construction paper, and a bobber shape out of a white paper. 
  3. Paint the top and bottom of the bobber red. We did both sides so when we hang it up it can spin around. 
  4. Next paint and decorate the fish, on both sides if you would like. We used a sponge roller to create a splattered look on the fish. Next we glued on the glitter just in the spots where the fins would be. We also did glitter for the eyes. 
  5. After all of the paint and glue is dry, use the hold punch to make a hole in the end of the fish and the top and bottom of the bobber. 
  6. Tie the fish and the bobber together and then hang it up!
