Ah the holidays, gingerbread, twinkling lights, paper snow flakes and glitter. In hopes of keeping it all under control this season I am picking one largish project to do per week in December with a few smaller on going projects to fill in the ~bored~ bits of time that the children insist still occur no matter how jam packed our life seems to be.
Now me, I am never bored, in fact I could use some ~bored~. I have looked high and low for some but all I can seem to find is more things to clean or projects I want to do. Perhaps one can only see ~BORED~ with child eyes. In any case we shall have none of that here at the Crafty Homeschooler and we will be taking on our big and small projects with much joy and all the German Glass Glitter we can handle!
Our first project is courtesy of K&Company. These easy but elegant paper ornaments are just perfect for some Crafty Homeschooling. Multiple 3-dimensional shapes make wonderful examples for a quick lesson in geometric form. Victorian printed paper trapezoids, cones, parallelograms and more make up this easy to use crafting pad. All you really need to add is glue dots, or scrapbooking adhesive. You could always use old fashioned glue but this adds a considerable amount of frustration /drying time to projects that could go straight onto the tree or be used as gifts. The projects look great just how they are but do leave lots of room for creative embellishments with bits of sparkle and spice if that is your thing. I envision adding some vintage buttons and maybe some small jingle bells to make our season bright.
Crafty Homeschooler rating: Easy!

very cool.
could you try this with any kind of heavy-ish paper, or does it require a specific kind?
