Stop! Don’t throw out that coloring page your child just finished. Turn it into something special like a window mobile, gift tag, or tree ornament.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First pick out a suitable coloring page. We used this December coloring page that you can download here<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let the kiddos have fun coloring.<\/p>\n

******<\/strong><\/span> let’s ge<\/span>t\u00a0started<\/strong> making our craft *******<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

First cut out each image as shown below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now we want to back our images with colored card stock to give them stiffness and durability. Note: <\/strong>You can also print out the coloring page on card stock and omit this step.<\/p>\n

Glue card stock to image then trim the colored card stock close to image or leave some showing, like the December image above. See the back of the image below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Want to make it dazzle? Add some glitter glue or other embellishments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Punch a hole in the top of snowman, hot cocoa cup, and tree. Use pipe cleaners, ribbon, or string and thread through hole.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make the window mobile you will also need to punch 3 holes in the December piece as shown below<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Use the tags for the mobile, or as Tree ornaments. I wish I had a tree here to hang the ornament on to show you what they would look like. You will have to use your imagination.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or you can use them as Gift Tags. Write the name on the back of the tag and tie with a pretty ribbon or string.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
