Tooth Pick Ornament
Make these quick and easy ornaments. The
one to the left was made by my daughter in
1984 at the age of 7. I have also used this
craft in my age 5 Sunday school class.
For ages 5 - old age.
Materials
- a box of rounded tooth picks
- scissors
- pencil
white glue - old Christmas cards
- 1 sheet of cardboard
- spool of thread
Directions
- cut out a square of cardboard 2 1/4" x
2 1/4" - this will be your stencil
pick out a favorite Christmas Card and position your stencil over the area you want to cut out. - Trace around the stencil
- Cut out on the lines
- Put a small amount of glue around the
edges of the cutout Christmas card
begin placing toothpicks by 3's or 2's, first on one edge then the next until all 4 sides make a frame. - Place a "roof" at the top of the frame.
- Allow the glue to dry
- when glue is dry take a length of thread, double it and tie it to the top of the roof.
- Make the loop long enough to fit on the branch of a Christmas tree.
