Christmas is a time for family and friends to enjoy each
other. What better way to do that then to do a Christmas Craft together?
Children really enjoy making Christmas Crafts with an adult. These Christmas
craft ideas can be used by individuals or by groups. Also the best gifts
are the ones that are hand made. A great Christmas idea is to help a child on
your list to make a Christmas craft they can give as a Christmas gift.
Melt butter in non-stick saucepan over medium to low heat. Add all the
marshmallows, stirring continually with a wooden spoon until they're
completely melted.
Pour the mixture over the popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
As soon as the marshmallow is cool enough to touch, rub a little butter in
your hands and make popcorn balls (about one cup of popcorn per ball).
Build and decorate your snowmen on a sheet of waxed paper. For each one,
stack three popcorn balls atop each other. Push pretzel stick arms into the
sides the middle popcorn ball. Add raisins for eyes and a candy corn for a
nose. Arrange a row of mini jawbreakers into a broad grin. For buttons on the
snowman's chest, use gumdrops or red hots.
If your popcorn balls aren't sticky enough to hold the decorations, mix up
a small batch of stiff white icing (add water, a few drops at a time, to 1/4
cup confectioner's sugar and stir until smooth) and use it to glue the candy
in place.
For snowmen's scarves, cut rectangles out of fruit leather and fringe the
ends and wrap around neck.
