  3. Fold the bottom of Wayne's pants outward, his feet down, and his tail up.

  6. Fold each arm in half and secure so the design is two-sided. Do not get glue on the tabs at the ends of the arms. Fold those outward so you can use them as a base to attach the arms to Wayne's pants. Glue the arms to Wayne and your elf is finished!

  2. Trim the top of the teepee on a slant.  

  3. Break or cut twigs into 3” long pieces. Insert three twig pieces into the top of the teepee, glue in place.

Star Studded Door Hanger
by Amanda Formaro

Show your patriotic spirit by making this sparkling welcome hanger for your door. Easy to put together and so pretty to look at!

What you'll need

  • 2 miniature paper plates
  • Star-shaped foam stamp
  • Red acrylic paint
  • Red and blue glitter glue
  • Gold alphabet stickers
  • Patriotic star garland
  • White craft glue
  • White yarn
  • Scissors

Check your local craft supply, discount department and party supply stores for patriotic garland.

Set project somewhere safe and out of place to dry. Avoid areas where pet cats may jump up to investigate.

Styrofoam plates or even bowls may be used in place of paper plates.

How to make it

  1. Cut a piece of yarn to 14” in length.

  2. Cut patriotic garland into six 16” pieces.

  3. Glue two paper plates together so that they are both facing toward each other.

  4. While glue on plates is still wet, place yarn into the top between the two plates, insert about an inch of each end between the plates. Do the same with the garland lengths, securing them between the bottom of the paper plates. Let dry completely.

  5. Paint star-shaped foam stamp with a thin layer of red paint. Press carefully but firmly into the center of the plate (don’t smash the plate) and lift straight up to remove.

  6. Use a paintbrush to fill in any spots on the star that may not have transferred from the stamp.

  7. Squeeze some red glitter glue onto the center of the red star and spread out using a small paintbrush, covering entire star.

  8. Use white glitter glue to draw a border around the star.

  9. Use blue glitter glue to draw a border around the plate edge. Let dry completely.

  10. Apply alphabet stickers to the top of the plate, spelling out “WELCOME”.

  11. Wrap the garland around your fingers in a corkscrew fashion to create curls. Stretch them out and manipulate with your hands to get them how you want them.

  12. Hang on your door!

Wizard Hat Goodie Bag

What magical treats are hidden under the wizard hat? This hat is actually a party favor filled with goodies for guests to take home. The wizards at your party will definitely know how to make these goodies disappear.

What you'll need

  • (for each wizard hat)
  • One orange paper plate
  • One piece of blue construction paper, about 8 ½ x 11 inches
  • Paper or plastic cup
  • Black masking or electrical tape
  • Clear tape
  • Star stickers
  • Candy

How to make it

  1. Step 1

    Roll the piece of blue construction paper to create a cone. Tape the ends together so the cone stays secure.

  2. Step 2

    Place a paper or plastic cup inside the cone.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the excess paper on the cone into the cup. Then fill the cup with candy.

  4. Step 4

    Attach the cone to the paper plate with some masking or electrical tape. It’s easier to apply the tape one section at a time.

  5. Step 5

    Fold the pointy tip of the wizard hat down. Wizard hats are always scrunched down, probably so they don’t bump into doorways. Decorate the hat with star stickers.

Paper Conversation Heart Wreath
by Amanda Formaro

This paper conversation heart wreath is a great project for younger kids. It's easy to put together and fun to display!

Download Paper Conversation Heart Wreath Template

What you'll need

  • 9" dinner plate or paper plate
  • Recycled cereal box or other thin cardboard
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Heart pattern
  • Construction paper: pink, purple, red, and blue
  • Markers, crayons or paint pens
  • Glue sticks
  • Yarn for hanger (optional)
  • Pattern

Paint pens are available from your local craft supply store. Instead of construction paper, you can use colorful cardstock for this project. Construction paper provides hours of fun and stimulates your child's imagination!

How to make it

  1. Trace around the 9" plate onto the cardboard. (See photo.)  

  2. Use your pen or pencil to draw another circle inside that one, about an inch away from the outside circle. (See photo.)  

  3. Cut out the circle and the center of the circle to create a cardboard wreath base. (See photo.)  

  4. Fold a piece of scrap paper in half. Using the heart pattern line up the fold line of the scrap paper with the dotted line of the pattern. Cut out the shape so that when you open it, you have a heart shape. (See photo.)  

  5. Fold the short end of a piece of construction paper up about 3 inches. Place the folded heart around the folded paper and trace the half heart shape into the paper. You should be able to fit three hearts on the paper. Repeat this step for each colored piece of paper; you will have a total of 12 hearts. (See photo.)  

  6. Cut out all the hearts and flatten out the creases so that the hearts lay flat. Using markers, crayons, or paint pens, write conversation candy phrases on the hearts such as "LOVE", "HUBBA HUBBA", "SWEET", "LOVE", "BE MINE", "KISS" and "PAL". (See photo.)  

  7. Arrange your hearts on top of the cardboard wreath shape without gluing them down. Once you have them where you want them, use the glue stick to attach each one. (See photo.)  

  8. You can hang the wreath as is or attach a piece of looped yarn to the back as a hanger.

by Amanda Formaro

Your child will adore this turkey headdress, maybe as much as we do! Make this cutie in less than an hour.

What you'll need

  • Construction paper: brown, black, yellow, orange, red, green
  • Glue stick
  • Scissors
  • 2 medium wiggle eyes
  • White craft glue (for eyes)
  • Patterns

You can use a stapler for the headband, but we prefer using the glue stick since it eliminates the risk of pricking fingers or pulling your child's hair. Craft foam can be used as a sturdier replacement for the construction paper. Construction paper is inexpensive and often available at dollar stores.

How to make it

  1. Print out the patterns. The first two patterns contain all the parts that you will need EXCEPT for the main body piece. The last pattern is the full picture of the turkey. Use this as a guide when putting your headdress together.  

  2. Cut out the pieces as directed on the pattern. Refer to the template for all the assembly steps below.  

  3. Assemble body: Glue the black circle to the large brown circle. Glue the small brown circle to the black circle.  

  4. Glue the brown tail feather to the back of the body, in the center. Glue the other feathers in place, beginning with the yellow at the bottom and working your way up (see image). Next later on the green, then orange, then red pieces. Use the glue stick to secure all the feathers to one another.  

  5. Glue the gobbler to the small brown circle, and then glue the yellow beak over the gobbler. Use white craft glue to attach the wiggle eyes.  

  6. Make the headband by folding a piece of construction paper lengthwise, about 2" in width. Cut two strips, and then glue them together to make one long strip. Wrap strip around child's head to get a comfortable fit and mark the measurement. Trim if needed.  

  7. Find the center of the strip and secure the turkey to the strip and let dry.  

  8. Glue ends of headband together.
