I came across this picture on Pinterest and thought I would share it with the Children’s Director of my church. She is awesome with letting me come in and try new crafts out with the kids. I love doing it. I enjoy working with the kids, and putting a smile on their faces.
To make this Snowman Ornament you will need:
1 Ornament
White Paint
Sharpie Markers
Paper Towel Roll
Simple and Easy Instructions:
Paint the whole hand white.
Place the Ball in the palm of your hands
Wrap you fingers around the ball, as if you are grabbing it.
Set it on top of the toilet paper roll. Let it dry. One of the teachers from church came up with a great idea to help dry the paint up faster, put the balls in the oven on low and let the heat do it’s work.
When dry, if you would like, with a sharpie marker, write down you name and the year.
Use the markers to draw on eyes, noses, buttons, scarves, hats, snow, or anything else you would like to decorate on your ball.
Let it dry, and you are done!
It was a fun craft that all of the kids enjoyed doing.
