Up-cycle your recycling into a cool Snowman DIY Christmas Tree Decoration. Bubble Wrap<\/a> is the perfect junk material to create falling over a home-made Snowman Snow Globe decoration.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n A December highlight at my sons’ school is the annual “DIY Christmas Tree Decoration” competition. The school supplies a big real Christmas tree in the entrance hall and all of the children are invited to raid their recyclables to create their own unique decorations to decorate the tree. Coming into school each morning that week always starts with a good look at the day’s newest entrants (it’s a real motivator on a cold December morning for the school mums!).<\/p>\n My boys were full of ideas of what they wanted to make for the school Christmas Tree this year, so we raided our making box as we chatted to see what they could make. Freddie was keen to have a go at making a snow globe decoration and when he selected a sheet of bubble wrap to use we hit upon a novel idea for his entry.

Then cut this out and stuck it on to make the blue sky background.<\/p>\n He then drew around a cup and cut out 3 circles of white paper to use for his snowman.<\/p>\n He then glued these onto the blue sky background and used a black pen to draw on his hat, arms and buttons. Finally adding on his carrot nose with an orange pen.<\/p>\n For some messy play this Christmas try out our Tuff Spot Christmas Tree Activity<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\nDIY Christmas Tree Decorations<\/h2>\n
