THE CRAFT SUPPLIES:

THE DIRECTIONS:

• First things first – make sure you have a good working area. I suggest placing your wood slice on a large paper plate to protect your work surface.
• Squirt your black and white craft paint on another paper plate.
• Next up, using your paint brushes, paint the outer rim of the wood slice black, while painting the inner portion white.
• Follow that up by adding on the legs and nose with the orange puffy paint.
• Finally – hot glue the wiggle eyes so your cute penguin can see.
• And that’s it! That’s literally THREE painting steps and a little bit of gluing.
• You will then set it aside to let it dry completely before you hot glue some twine or a piece ribbon to the back for easy hanging.
• Then hang it on the tree for everyone to admire!  It’s easy peasy – just how we LOVE it on Glued To My Crafts!
