How to make Christmas ornaments

I want to tell you how to make Christmas ornaments. 
I used air dry clay and acrylic paint.

                                               

                      

I used sparkles too.

                

These are  some of the ORNAMENTS which I made.
This is a candle holder for a very special person.

              

This is for my teacher, Mrs. Sato.

                

This is me. 
Lillie!!!


Next time I'll tell you about more fun projects to make.
Bye now!

How To Make Shiny Candle Holders

A few days ago Mama, Lulu and I went for a walk and collected lots of pretty leaves, took them home and pressed them in a book.

Yesterday Jay came over to play and we decided to make these wonderful illumination jars.

First we took old glass jars and painted Shiny Mod Podge on the jars.
Then we took white, ripped tissue paper and glued it on the jars.

                                       


Then we added more Mode Podge over the tissue paper and then we glued on the leaves that we had found on our walk.


Then we put more Mode Podge and tissue paper on our jars.
We made sure every spot was covered with glue and paper.


Now it was time to let them dry out.
It took over night for the glue and the paper to fully dry out.



And then it was time to buy some candles and put them in the jars.



The glue looks REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY shiny.




And then it was time to light them up.


It looks really cool!
And the leaves are showing through because there is a candle inside lighting it up.

Otter Crib

This is Shelly, my otter.

                                              

He needed a crib.

First I took two  fruit basks  then I took duke tap then I cut 
(Mama is now taking over typing for me ...)
the two fruit baskets and taped them together with the duct tape. 

Then I took 4 straws and then I took some duct tape and put the four straws in the corners.
Then I cut some fabric and sewed it on the straws to make a roof. 

                                                  
                               


I took dark blue marker and drew a fish and traced it on the other side and cut it out.
Then I put it on a string, so it could hang down.

                                       

And then I took paper and I cut little strips so part of it could stay on and I took some duct tape and taped it on.


And then I took some fabric and cut it out into a square to make a blanket and pillow for Shelly.



And that is how I made Shelly's crib.
