I like the “Frozen” movie; so, here are some projects kids to
celebrate that theme.
Frozen
Snowflake Art
Materials:
White
PVA Glue or Elmer’s Glue, Salt, Blue food coloring and water
Directions:
Simply squirt your glue in a snowflake pattern, sprinkle
generously with salt and allow drying. Once dry mix some water and food coloring
to create the ‘paint’. Use an eye dropper to drip the colored water onto the
salt patterns. The color will quickly spread along the lines!
Once dry you can spray with a clear sealer.
‘Frozen’
Snowflake Necklace
Materials:
A
Glue Gun with Glue Stick, A Snowflake template printed onto white paper, Glad
bake/baking paper, Blue Tac, Glitter - use a combination of dark blue, light
blue & white, Ribbon or string
Directions:
Print out your snowflake template to the size you want.
Using your blu-tack – stick this page to your table.
Lay over a sheet of glad bake paper.
Blue tack that into place over your snowflake template also.
Make sure your glue gun is nice & hot, then ‘trace’ over
the snowflake template onto the baking paper.
Add your glitter – easier to glue gun one section of the
snowflake then add the glitter then move on to the next section –tip off the
left over glitter back into bowl to use afterwards.
Check for any ‘faults’ – you may find you will need to add a
little extra glue in places that may not be as strong. You might need to add another layer of
glitter to make it extra sparkly!
Let your beautiful new Frozen Snowflake dry. Carefully, shake any excess glitter off and
then slowly peel off your masterpiece from the glad bake paper.
Add a small drop of hot glue to the back of your snowflake and
attach your ribbon or string & let it set.
Frozen
Wreath
Materials:
A Styrofoam , White & Blue Tulle –
approximately 6inches x 100 yards (15cm x 91.4cms), Blue Christmas Baubles, White &/or Blue
Snow flake ornaments, White
ribbon - approximately 1 meter, battery
operated Christmas lights *optional, Hot Glue Gun
Directions:
Cut your tulle into strips – the length of this will depend on
the size of your wreath. Take a long strip of tulle and tie it around your
wreath & double knot it as shown below. If you are happy with that length,
take it off & cut the rest of your strips to match. See below:
Tied about 10 strips of white then 2 strips of blue and so on
and so on; but, you can do whatever pattern you like.
Tie your white ribbon somewhere along the wreath (Use a double
knot again) so you will be able to hang your wreath.
Keep tying until you have a big fluffy tutu wreath! Take
scissors and trimmed my wreath so it was all neat.
The next step is to glue on your snowflake ornaments. As you
can see, alternate white & blue & overlapped them slightly
Next glue on your baubles, you can place them all on the
wreath first and then glued them on one by one.
Then added my lights…again, this is optional. They are easy to add, just thread them in and
around the tulle and hide the battery pack at the back.
Now hang your wreath.
