The prettiest (last) one created as we learned how to do it. Christmas 2011 |
Needed:
- Spent light bulbs (they don't work but are whole)
- spray glue
- craft glitter
- puffy paing
- black
- orange
- Sticks
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Ribbon, raffia, or twine, cut to length desired to tie off at the top and attach to tree or other decorative area, maybe 12in
- Paper bag
- scissors
Directions:
- Open paper bag and lay on it's side. Holding the light bulb by the silver part, spray white areas completely with spray glue.
- Immediately sprinkle glitter on wet glue.
- Tie the ribbon around the base of the silver part, nearest the white. Knot it.
- Hot glue the arms in place. Note: you may need to wipe away the glitter first. Press the sticks into place. Hold until the glue is pretty secure.
- Using the orange paint, create the carrot nose.
- Using the black paint, create the eyes, mouth, then buttons.
- Hang somewhere nothing will disturb it until it is completely dry-- I have no idea how long it will take the paint to dry. The glue was within about 15min.
Notes:
Do everything but the paint first--too easy to accidentally smear it. I STILL have glitter spray glued to my fingers--not sure how to get it off.
