Easy Christmas Craft for the Kids

If you’re like me, you’re looking for cute and easy projects for the kids.  For this one, I bought some of the shatterproof bulb ornaments.  I painted the kid’s fingertip with white paint to make a snowman and the snow.  Then I used a fine tip paint brush to add the eyes, nose, and buttons.  (I painted mouths on a few of them, but I’m not sure if I like it.)  Also, on the back I painted my kid’s names and year.  Cute, easy, and inexpensive.  Thanks to my friend Karen for sending me this idea.

    I think these are a really cute idea. My son loves to make ornaments, and he made them for grandparents and cousins this year. We’re done for this year, but I’m going to save this idea for next year’s ornaments.

    How cute is that! Even though Christmas is almost over, I think I may hit some after Christmas clearnace decor sales and still make one for this year. I’ll definitly keep it in mind for the years to come too. Thanks for the idea.

    I still have some of the bulbs left from last year. I think I may make these again this year for some others that didn’t get them last year.

    This is a great idea and are incredibly cute! I make my own ornaments out of beads and such, but I have never thought of painting bulbs. Thanks, I’m definitely trying that this year!
