With Christmas less than a month away I thought, how about I do a nice Christmas craft to kick off my blog? I don't even have my Christmas tree up yet but this is a great stocking stuffer and will not cost more than $10. I actually found this craft on Pinterest but made a few slight alterations to it.
You will need:
- Red and green cardstock
- Package of white tictaks
- White ribbon
- Medium-sized styrofoam ball cut in half
- White paper
- Pen or pencil
- Double-sided tape or glue dots
1. Take the red cardstock and outline your tictak package, move the tictak package over the width of the package and outline. Cut out rectangle with about a 1/8 of an inch margin from the outline
2. Fold the cardstock on the inside outlines and secure the tictaks with tape or glue dots on the right section of the cardstock, tape white paper over the left outline.
3. On the left side write a message or use mine, "I heard you were naughty so here's the scoop, all you get for Christmas is snowman poop".
4. On the front, attach the ribbon lengthwise with about 1 & 1/2 inches from the edge of the paper on both sides. Tape or glue a circle of green paper slightly bigger than your styrofoam half-circle on the front and attach the half-ball over it. Tie the ribbon and you are done
5. (Optional) You can write a holiday saying such as merry Christmas, happy holidays, or seasons greetings on the top or bottom edge of the front.
