Did you survive all the Christmas commotion? We hope you had a wonderful holiday. Since many of you are still on holiday break we wanted to share with you a project that will help keep your little ones busy. Have them make this Mod Podge Jar. What makes this project extra special is that you can use this project as a nightlight in their room. We found this project on Joann.com. It is so easy to make and won’t take a long time either.

It’s the day before Christmas and all through the house you’re probably prepping food, wrapping presents, and enjoying time with family and friends. If you’re in need of a project to occupy your kids as they await with anticipation for Santa, have then make these Tissue Paper and Yarn Trees. Cathie and Steve designed this project using Mod Podge and Styrofoam. This is a project they are sure to enjoy, and one that will keep their little hands busy this Christmas eve.

Other Supplies

3 Styrofoam trees – different sizes
Scissors
Tissue paper – pink; pale green and turquoise
Yarn – raspberry; olive dark turquoise
Wax paper

Instructions

1.    Cut the tissue paper into small random shaped squares. Apply the squares to the Styrofoam tree with Mod Podge. Topcoat with a layer of Mod Podge. Add additional layers of tissue. Allow for dry time between layers.

2.    Cut the yarn into 3 to 5 feet long pieces. (Use more yarn for a fuller wrap and less yarn for an open look.) Pool some Mod Podge Glitter onto a piece of wax paper. Saturate the yarn in the Mod Podge Glitter. Wrap the wet yarn around the cones. Allow to dry.
