[Crazy8]

I know we've had threads like this in the past, but would love a new updated one with what everyone is doing this year? ADD PHOTOS if you can!!!!!!
And what's been your BEST one from previous years???

I have no clue what I'm doing this year, I think my favorite was the handprint xmas trees on canvas. Looks like this....


I also loved this one.... we did them on navy fabric hung with a string and dowel, this is just a pic from google where it was done on a sweatshirt.


What are you doing and what was your favorite of years past???

We did the marbled Christmas ornaments with acrylic paint. These are from pinterest as the actual ones are already wrapped. I used green, red, white and the kids did them all 100% by themselves. I also took individual pictures of them making them and am putting the picture in the giftbag as well.



I also wrote with a silver perm marker their name and the year. Turned out great!

We made that exact tree this year! It turned out so well

We made two clay ornaments. One is in the shape of their hand, the other is a circle ornament which will have a super cute Christmas pic I took glued in the middle. I'll post pics when they are completed!

We made reindeer pine cone ornaments, handprint art on canvas.

We made birdseed ornaments ala Pinterest. We're waiting for them to fully dry so we won't see the final results for a day or two.

We made reindeer and christmas tree popsicle ornaments last Friday, and will make salt dough handprints as gifts this week sometime. I think we'll decorate bags for the gifts, too. Maybe do some other stuff, depending on the grumpy level of my own children (and how much planning time I get)

We did hand and footprints on kitchen towels. They turned out ok, but there are splotches of paint on them from trying to wrangle a baby into doing a handprint. I think I'm going to have to find my creative side and turn the splotches into something else.

We did singular handprints in salt dough that were then painted to be Christmas trees, on the top is a salt dough star with just their fingerprint on it. As a craft last week I had the kids finger paint on canvas with green paint. The next day, using their fingertips and various paint coulours we added 'lights' and it looks like a Christmas tree.Here's the Pinterest pin I took the idea from.

In the past we've done it all, . Last year we did Santa faces with their handprint in ornament balls.

A favorite craft last year (not a gift but could have been) was taking an ornament ball, painting the outside with glue, putting it into a ziploc bag with glitter and shaking it. These turned out really cute!

After Halloween, I bought a Haunted house cake kit on Clearance. It is basically a flat cake moldof a house. It doesn't look creepy or anything. I plan to make a flat Gingerbread house for each child to decorate at the party this Friday to take home. I do realize what a pain Gingerbread is to make, but I'm hoping get lucky and find an easy recipe online. In the past I have had the children make several ornaments. Then I had them decorate a bo that we put all of the ornaments in with tissue paper and fluff.

We made 2 ornaments that I found on pinterest. One was a bubble style ball with snowmen made out of their thumb prints, the second was a shiny red ball with reindeer faces also out of thumbprints. I painted the faces, hats ect on the snowmen and antlers and faces on the reindeer. I painted their names and the year on them.. They turned out super cute! ESP the snowmen one!

I literally JUST did these for my babies.

They squealed and squirmed the whole time so I didn't even try to get the heels together. I'm just glad they sort of ended up resembling their feet

Did them on canvas and am going to label them "Mistle-toes" once they're done drying

Much like this:

For the older kiddos we did fingerprint light strings today, they had a blast with all the different colors. We botched several batches but I finally ended up with one for each kiddo that I'm going to put in frames.

Just like this:
