Some Holiday Art

Over the past couple of weeks we have been busy crafting for the holidays. Here is some of what we have made....

The Best Paper Snowflakes (instructions can be found here):


Snowflake Paintings. I saw the idea on The Feminist Housewife, and found a tutorial here:



Thumb-print reindeer, inspired by this.


Snow Globes (Courtney of A Life Sustained recently wrote a tutorial in Rhythm of the Home)


Salt Dough Ornaments (a yearly tradition around here). I posted instructions last year. This year, after they cooled, we painted them with watercolors and had a sparkle party with the glitter!
