Hand-Crafted Christmas Tree......(Part 1)

This year, I'm gonna decorate my church sunday school hall for the coming Christmas Party. So I decided to "fashion" it up entirely with child's crafts and colorful beads, of course the sparkling christmas lights.

Well, the "Hand-Crafted Christmas Tree" is my first project.
It's pretty fun and exciting to make especially for the children.

Here is the materials needed, a lot of green color hard papers, colorful beads or glitters, PVA glue, pencils & a pair of scissor.

First trace your hand both left and right on the piece of green hard paper, with a pencil. Then cut out the hand print with a pair of scissor, trim your hand if it's looking funny! (Most of the children will trace out a monster giant hand...it's really cute! But we don't want that...) Don't forget to write your name on your own cut out hands.
After that, lay the colorful beads or glitters out with PVA Glue ready in a container. Brush the glue on the cut out hand, only brush on the fingers, not the entire hand. Then quickly sprinkle the colorful beads or glitters on the fingers as you like it.
Leave it to dry overnight, store them nicely in a box, will come to the next part in another post.

(To be continue......)
