Hi! It’s Faige Kobre, Faige from the Educational Art Institute with Christmas ornament crafts.
Okay, now, what I spent a lot of time doing is I go through different websites and I look for some
copy that I could increase and then I try to modify them to be educational arts and crafts and I
found this really cool type of cress that I would like to share with you. Using recyclable things
we want to make this very cheap and easy, we can take some old CD’s make sure they’re old
unless you want to buy package for just specifically for this crafts. And what we are going to do
is we are going to decorate the CD’s and then we are going to hang them on the tree that makes
really cute Christmas ornaments.
Now, there is a few different ways you can do this, one of them is if you like glitter you can just
take glue and put glue in different designs and sprinkle the glitter all over. I personally hate
glitter, it gets in the ear, it gets in the hair, and it gets on the food so I cannot use them but I did
find something in a craft store, glitter glue which you can use as all different products. And then
you can design anyway you want. Here I have, here is one that I use to design it just a little bit
not that much of course you can do it much more that is one way to decorate these CD’s. So that
would be with and will end some markers.
Another simple way would be just to use markers to call them up now, it will be a good idea to
make sure to use markers like this that are permanent you can try with different you have but I
found that’s best to use permanent markers and then I just put a little bit of sequence around you
could have of course use your creativity to figure out how do you want to decorate them. So, this
is markers and sequence. Another thing we did was we just use tissue paper, it’s important that
once you do when you doing ball side is after you finish one side make sure you let it dry
because otherwise when you put it over it’s going to stick on the surface that you putting it on
and then you can do the other side.
Another way of doing decorating, you see this is making decoupage so we took a magazine and
cut up different pictures that child that was doing it was cutting out the different pictures that
they like. Covered them over, folded some of the other here, put glue on top of that after and
there is another way to decorate them. And then the last one which is a little bit of a longer
activity is to take pieces of yarn and to basically saw around in different colors of course you can
do the red and green the classic Christmas colors and then you have another beautiful decoration
of an ornament. And then what you do is you take some ribbon or some ribbon like this or some
yarn like this and you put it through here and you have this really cute, really easy, really simple
homemade decorative Christmas ornament crafts. Now, if you would like to the more about this
