Count down the days to Christmas with our festive cookie themed kid craft idea! We are “baking” up the perfect DIY and we hope you are inspired by our latest Paper Christmas Cookie Sheet, Mixed Media tutorial!
This easy kids’ Christmas craft is perfect for a classroom party or as a fun family activity. All you need are some cardstock, wax paper and some glue, and you can have hours of festive fun! We hope you’re inspired to try it out!
Cookie baking is a staple during the holiday season and that’s exactly what inspired by our latest post!
Who would have thought you could incorporate wax paper from the kitchen into your crafts? We didn’t either BUT when we were brainstorming NEW and outside the box tutorials for Glued To My Crafts, we thought, “Hey, why not?!” And with just a small sheet stapled to a simple sheet of gray cardstock paper, we instantly envisioned a cookie sheet and the gingerbread man shape just seemed fitting from there!
Remember – you can make this idea your own by skipping the gingerbread man “cookies” and doing trees, stars or ANY shape you like! You can even dig out the REAL cookie cutters and trace those on paper for easy cutting out & applying from there!
So what are YOU going to create today?! With a little creativity of your own sprinkled in between our already awesome idea, you and your child can “BAKE” the perfect custom piece today! #gluedtomycrafts
