Does it HAVE to be done with your group in 2 hours??? or can you complete most of the work and have 'drying' time??
Something that is fun to do is making clear glass ornaments. Buy some of the clear bulbs from the craft store along with acrylic paints, glitter, and glue. You will also need disposable cups.
Directions.....squeeze paint(s) of choice into bulb, swirl around, and place bulb upside down on cups.
i made these one year, it was a great hit.
have fun!!

I bought a dozen clear glass ornaments after Christmas to do "something " with. I am terrible at free hand drawing or painting so those are not an option for me. Anybody have any other suggestions? Thanks

I have helped my son make ornaments for our family members every year since he was four. They have become family keepsakes, but I am having trouble finding original ideas that a child can handle. We have done the clear glass ornaments with swirled paint in them. We have dried glass-paint and then punches with craft punches to make snowflakes and glued them to the ornaments. We have done glitter (and will never do THAT again...still see it in the carpet). We have painted the ornaments with fake snow and painted on eyes and mouth to make snowmen.
Does anyone have a good idea? We usually make 20-25 (aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, etc) and so we need to start soon.
