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.
Mortar (2 egg white mixed with cups confectioners sugar)
Sugar
Small trees, penguins, flags, fluff and anything else you want to decorate
with.
How To Make It
Start by laying a base row of sugar cubes around cardboard circle, leaving
space for the entrance.
Using mortar, add subsequent layers of cubes, one row at a time,
decreasing the circumference gradually as you go. Apply the mortar to the top
cubes, not to those already in place. Be sure to work alternately left and
right from the entrance toward the back of the igloo and stagger the cubes the
way a builder lays bricks.
Build a total of 10 layers, stopping halfway through the construction to
let the igloo dry.
Make the arch and roof separately, working on a flat surface. When they
are dry, glue them in place.
Allow the igloo to dry completely, then sprinkle with sugar.
Add decorations around your igloo. Polar bears, penguins, whales, seals,
ice, trees, sleigh, fishing rod, etc.
