James Clark and I have had so much fun making homemade christmas ornaments this year. We started with a paper tree that I drew a templet of, then I made a bigger template for glueing the paper tree to. We used left over red and green paper that someone was throwing away and then we used our cereal boxes for the larger tree. We painted all of the paper trees and then spray painted the cereal box trees, glued them together and stuck them through out our tree. They look sooooo good!!! I love how James Clark painted these trees. I will cherish these for all of my life........
For this one we recycled our old toothbrushes (of course I washed them) into paintbrushes. They made a really neat design and James Clark had a ball.
We used mixed mediums, finger paints, glitter glue, watercolor paint and now we are using the plaster and sun-catcher paint.
Then I found these plaster ornaments that you paint and we spent days painting 24 new ornament for our tree. James Clark would sit down at him little tykes art studio and paint. It was so cute to see what color he decided to paint each figure.
Next we have been collecting Chick fil a kids meal bags. So we took all of the bags that we have been saving and cut out all of the cows from the bags. You can see one of the cow faces with Santa in the photograph on the top middle, then again below on the left.
Mama found some sun catcher ornaments and this cute little plaster train, so we have been painting them for the last couple of days.
When we were decorating our tree I forgot that last year James Clark made these clusters made from several ornaments. He was so cute picking just the right place to hang them.
So James Clark and I have a homemade ornament and cow tree. How fitting for our last name Cowherd. Thank you Mama for letting us borrow one of your trees and lights for our Christmas tree this year!!!!
