Are you ready yet for the holidays?
Are the children excited? I just love the holiday crafts! I love creating new
crafts and making them. I will be sharing some of my ideas that I have created
here at my home with you and some that I created while teaching. If you miss
any directions, most of these projects can be found in my store on
www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/Gena-Mcwilliams.
Today’s craft is quite simple and
requires very few supplies. I will call it Mosaic Paper Candle Holder.
Supplies needed:
Tissue paper squares (I ordered
mine from Oriental Trading)
Clear gel Elmer’s washable glue (I
bought mine at Walmart)
Clear glass flower pot just right
for a votive candle (I bought mine at Michaels)
1 paint brush (I used a flat soft
watercolor brush)
1 container for glue ( I used a
small clean mason jar)
Directions:
1. Cover your work area. I used a
paper towel.
2. Pour some glue into the
container. Add a bit with some water. Stir the water into the glue to thin the
glue so it won’t tear the tissue paper.
3. Paint the glue on side of the
glass flower pot. Paint a little larger than the tissue paper square.
4. Place a tissue paper square on
the glue. Paint over the square with more glue.
5. Repeat steps #3 and #4 until you
have covered the pot. I left some glass showing on mine and overlapped some
squares to make additional colors.
6. When finished with the tissue
paper, allow to dry.
7. Optional step- if there is any
craft paint available, decorative lines and patterned shapes can be painted on
the tissue paper to embellish the candle holder.
Now you can add an electric votive
candle to the candle holder.
Another idea- I found a glass
Christmas tree candy dish that I may get my grandchildren to decorate with the
tissue paper this holiday! Hmmm! Mizz Mac
