- Get a large colored or white craft paper, scissors, sparkle pens, crayons, pencil, sparkle glue, and ribbon.
- First, you will draw the angel's wings, face, hands, and feet on the entire paper. The best way to do that is get a picture/cartoon of an angel, and copy it.
- Cut out the individual pieces. Also, for the angel's hair, you will cut 8 small strands.
- Use the end of the pencil to help curl the hair strands.
- Punch 2 holes behind the roll, and insert a ribbon through it. Tie a knot.
- You can use the angel as a hanging Christmas ornament.
- Draw the face with sparkle pens and color the hair, hands, feet, and wings with crayons.
- Now one by one, glue the wings, face, hands, feet, and curled hair strands on the angel.
- To make the tree, collect a dozen rolls, a cardboard, crayons or water colors, glue, and scissors.
- Take each rolls, and cut it in half. This way, you'll have 24 pieces to work with.
- Use green crayon or water color to paint the outsides of all 24 pieces of rolls.
- If you've used water color, let it dry and then use glue to stick them all on the cardboard.
- Since we are making a Christmas tree, the shape should be so.
- Use scissors to trim from outside the cardboard where the rolls are not glued.
- You can color the insides of each circle with different colors.
- Once the paint is dry, place couple of candies inside and help yourself to one every day.
- As a cool Halloween decoration, we're going to make scary bats for you hang around in your house.
- First of all, collect the roll, a white chart paper, a picture of bat, scissors, water color, and glue.
- You will draw the bat's face, wings, and hands on the chart paper, separately.
- Cut each individual piece properly and use black water color to paint them.
- Use white water color or sparkle pen to draw the face.
- Punch 2 holes behind the roll and insert a ribbon through it. Tie a knot.
- Now, one by one you will stick the bat's face, wings, and arms in place.
- Once you're done, hang your scary bats around the house or the porch.
- For our next craft, collect paper towel rolls, water colors, 1 brown and 1 yellow chart paper, scissors, glue, and 2 Popsicle sticks.
- If you're not familiar as to what a totem looks like, you can printout the designs from the net.
- Open up the chart paper and draw 5 equal sections. Draw 5 different faces for the totem directly on the papers.
- Glue two rolls to make one long circular tube and use different water colors to paint the faces.
- Next you will glue the chart paper directly over the circular tube. Make sure the seam is properly glued.
- Take the yellow chart paper and draw 2 zigzag arms for all 5 animals and glue them as well.
- The last thing you do is glue the Popsicle sticks on the bottom of the tube so that the totem pole with stand straight. And that's it, you're done.
