This activity for grown-ups and children alike is perfect for any chilly December day.
Materials needed:
ACT II Popcorn Balls, or you can make your own popcorn balls from scratch with our special recipe!
Colored ribbon
Scissors
Shirt paint or glitter glue
Glitter, sequins, buttons, artificial flowers, or other small craft items
Glue
Paper clips or pipe cleaners (optional)
Instructions:
- Using popcorn balls created from our great popcorn ball recipe, or using ACT II Popcorn Balls, paint balls using your favorite shirt paints or glitter glue. Be creative!
- Affix other decorations with glue or wire. For a longer lasting ornament, spray popcorn balls with a craft or lacquer spray.
- Leave ornaments to dry on newspaper, wax paper or other safe surface to dry.
- When ornament is dry, wrap ribbon around popcorn ball, double- crossing it at the base of the ball, as you would if you were wrapping a present.
- Bring the ribbon to the top of the popcorn ball and double-knot it on top. You will form a "cradle" for the ball.
- To hang your ornament, you can use the extra length of ribbon to make another loop and double knot it at the top. You can also straighten a paper clip or shape a pipe cleaner so it is straight with one hook on each end. Put one hook through the double-knot of the ribbon. Use the other hook to hang the ornament on your Christmas tree! Make sure your fingers are spread as wide apart as possible. Carefully cut out your handprint.
- Glue on popcorn all over the palm part of your handprint. The thumb will be the lamb's head and the fingers will be the legs!
