Crafty Christmas

As Z mention in this post, we got together last week to create some Christmas crafts. Here is my favorite craft of the ones that we have done so far:
These are so simple to make - you use a mini pinecone for the body, half of a popsicle stick for each ski, and toothpicks for the ski poles. Top the pinecone with a 1" wooden ball and a hat made out of a sweater scrap (or a pipe cleaner if you want earmuffs). Dab on a little paint for the face and the snow, and voila - a mini ski person! We just might make some more of these when we meet again this Wednesday, or we might do something else...

  2. I love those! My Godmother had some similar to those when I was growing up that she always put on top of the TV every Christmas. Brings back sweet memories!
