Holiday craft with LO?

Whatcha got planned or have done already?  I've got a ton of shiz Pinned, but I need to get remotivated.

Both of these are cute, but I don't know how you'd get the paint to stay on the plates.

I wanted to do one similair to that but it said "Mistletoes" and it was just the feet. I then remembered I'm not very crafty and gave up lol.

That's weird, I posted the picture of the Mistletoes, and it doesn't show? Lopes, still do something, it's fun!

 LisaJay, I've got Modge Podge, thanks for the tip.  I had C use tempera paints on canvas for the backdrop of his handprint turkey picture, and I set it with Modge Podge.  However, the tempera paint smeared with the 'Podge, but the acrylic paint that I used for the handprint turkey itself didn't smear...I wonder if I have crappy tempera paint.  It's pretty old.

Here's a picture of C's handprint mess.  He doesn't like to keep his fingers straight.  I dried out some leaves that we found around our yard and 'Podged them on as well :-)

I'm making her Christmas dress so I decided not to stress myself out with other crafts. I used to take E to see like 4 different Santas but this year we just did breakfast with Santa. I am way slacking.

This is the dress I'm making. The top will be a red print with bright green and white christmas trees. The bottom is a green chiffon, a white tulle and then on top a sheer red netting with big sparkly red polka dots.

We're presently working on handprint ornaments for the grandparents. That's about all I can manage

My mom bought us a hand print ornament kit this year; we tried to do it this morning.  I prepped the plaster, waited the time limit and was set to have a beautiful hand print ornament. While the mixture was setting, A got really tired, had a meltdown complete with snot rockets.  So naturally I went ahead and tried to get the print......waaah, waaaah, waaaaaaah.

I think I might try one of the pinterest recipes for hand print ornaments as ours looks like total sh!!t.

LOL!  This sounds like something that I would do :-)  I'm sorry that the day went south.

Lopes, that dress looks precious, I can't wait to see the finished product.

We just did the gingerbread house.  I was going to make a paper chain with him, but time got away from me.

Most of his "look what I made" crafts come from daycare anyway.  I know we're getting the dreidel he painted at some point.

Adorable!  I love how it's on black paper.  How did you get her not to squish up her hands or toes?

We just did this one tonight. The footprints look good but it is hard to write with paint.
