Craft Supplies:
Before you start crafting, gather the following materials. Most of these items are easily available at craft stores or online retailers!
- Wooden Star Shapes – 1 per ornament
- Craft Paint {red, orange or brown}
- White Craft Paint
- Small Paint Brushes
- Small Paper Plate
- Low Temp Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Ribbon, String or Twine
- Medium Sized Wiggle Eyes
- Small Brown Pom Poms
- Felt Santa Hat Embellishments
Directions:
Follow these simple steps to bring your wood star fox ornaments to life!
- First paint your wooden star completely in your choice of paint color.
- Next is the mouth/nose of the fox. Go ahead and add white paint, in a “V” design, on ONE of the pointed ends of the star shape.
- At this point in time you can also draw on the ears, on the opposite side, as well with some white craft paint.
- Now get the glue gun hot and ready! Hot glue your brown pom pom {nose} and wiggle eyes, in the designated spots, onto the painted wooden star.
- Follow that up by hot gluing the Santa hat in place as well.
- To finish off the Wood Star Fox Gift Tag, hot glue some string to the back for easy hanging on the tree.
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
Once your ornaments are finished, don’t forget to share the joy! Gift them to loved ones, use them as gift tags, or even post them on social media to inspire other families.
Helpful Tips:
Here are a few pointers to make crafting fun and stress-free for everyone involved.
- Set up a crafting zone. Lay down old newspapers or a disposable tablecloth to make cleanup easier.
- Keep it safe. Use kid-friendly glue and supervise the use of any hot glue guns.
- Encourage individuality. Each child can personalize their fox ornament with different colors or embellishments. Celebrate their creativity!
- Take breaks. Kids may lose focus if the project runs too long. Allow them to pause and return later if needed.
- Snap a photo. Document the process for lasting memories. Craft projects are about the experience as much as the result!
