Sneaky Bunnies and Santa Claus Wall Decor

1. Start with the roof. Draw one side of a rooftop. It's okay if you go out of the lines since we're cutting it out. Use the rooftop below for inspiration.
2. Cut It! (that's also the name for a game. I'm stuck on level 21 so comment some tips please!)
3. Santa Claus Time! Draw a Santa Claus's face. Make it large enough for his body. Draw his entire upper body to get an idea of the ideal size for the rest of the body.
4.Cut it! (Again, I appreciate tips for level 21of Cut It!)
5. Use the red paper to make his coat. Remember that white paper version? Use it as a guide. Don't draw the fluff.
6. Cut It!
7. Draw the details on Santa's cost on a white piece of paper. Colour it in, cut it out, then paste it on.
8. Pants Time! Unless you want him in the chimney. If you do, paste Santa partly in the chimney then trim him.
9. Make the sack full of presents then paste and glue it to Santa's hand.
10. Glue the head, Santa is now complete!
11. Wait! The boots!
12. Now he's done. Sneaky Bunnies Time! Just draw at least three bunnies in poses of stealing presents with matching expressions. Use the picture down low for help.
13. Draw presents that have fallen out.
14. Glue on the pieces.
15. Glue it onto a piece of cardboard, cut out and Ta-da!

Christmas Tree Tag

Use this adorable tag to tell who gave who what!

You need...
Green paper/white paper (green is good for if you're to lazy to colour in, but it takes more time.)
Pencil
Colouring supplies
Scissors 
Earser

1. Draw a tree with a hole to indict where to hole punch. If you're gluing it on, don't bother.
2. Draw the features. Don't like the ones I picked? The second picture has more options. 
3. Write the message. 
4. Add the decorations for the tree. Instead of a star or angel, trade it for a cute bow! It's up to YOU!
5. Colour away! As I said, not everything has to be exact. This is a tree with a face and arms. So, why not give it blue ferns?
6. Write the name with marker over top.

Christmas Card Ideas

It's that time of year to get planning. Sure, there's still 24 days, but Christmas cards take a lot of time. Why? Here's the process.

1. Thinking up original ideas
2. Planning
3. Finding and buying the materials
4. Making the cards!
This takes more time then it seems! But here are my ideas. Since I'm currently working on something for the backdrop of the play, and cannot make the cards now, here are my ideas!
If you're wondering what's in the background, it's the periodic table of elements unfinished.

Happy Birthday Card


1. Fold the paper in half
2. Fold one side to the middle.
3. The other side to the middle.
4. Unfold the flap and cut it off. (Keep it to create a super cut bookmark to give as one of the presents!)
5. Time to get out your pencils!
6. Lightly draw a picture on the outside oft the flap. (It can be a favourite winx club member or just a cupcake/birthday cake/candle!)
7. Ta da!
I'll make a post on how to make this
cute and adorable picture. 
8. Draw a picture in this spot.
Note! I'll be posting how to draw all the pictures you see here!
9. Leave a clear spot near the top of the paper. In that area, write happy birthday on both very important, both the flap and the paper. See the picture below if you're confused.
See?
10. Then you write on the bottom of the flap, time and on the top in tiny letters, it's. Confusion? Just check below!
It's a bit hard to see the it's, but it's there.
11. Open up the flap and continue the message. IMPORTANT!!!: DO NOT WRITE/DRAW ANYTHING ON THE INSIDE OF THE FLAP UNTIL I SAY SO!!!
12. Draw a picture beside the picture. For example, if you drew a cupcake like I did, for the next picture draw the same cupcake with a bite taken out of it.
Pretty neat, huh?
13. Now, on the flap you do the same thing. You know that girl with the balloons behind her back? Draw her holding them out towards you.
 
What do you think?
14. Colour time!
Outside..
....And inside! Pretty, huh?
