Tinfoil Fun!

Remember making those tinfoil paper pictures in grade school?  I decided that I would show #1 daughter the joys of glue, yarn and tinfoil today.  I am not sure this is exactly how it is done as I have blocked most of 3rd grade from my memory due to Mrs. Moore and her evil ways.

To make this awesome craft project on your own you will need...

Card stock, white glue, yarn, scissors, tinfoil, tape, markers and eager little hands.
Draw or print a pattern onto the card stock.  We made a hand turkey due to the upcoming holiday.
Outline your pattern with white glue...
Lots of white glue!
Lay some yarn on your glue to outline your pattern.
What a cute little hand turkey!
Cover the card stock with a piece of tinfoil.
Tape the tinfoil down to the back of the card stock.  Using an excess amount of tape as with the white glue really makes the project better!
Rub the tinfoil to reveal your pattern.
Color all over with markers to decorate!
I must admit I ended up finishing the turkey...
#1 daughter was to busy trying to figure out how to make the scissors work.  I have little pieces of yarn everywhere!

Now go make a mess and have some fun with tinfoil!!!

Thanks, Love ya.
