Happy Holidays my friends!

Can you believe that it is almost Christmas! It's almost time to get the tree up and trimmed . My craft this month is a lovely Gingerbread Ornament you can use to decorate your tree. It is really easy and you can make all sorts of ornaments with other cookie cutter shapes and different colored floam as well. Have fun making this for yourself and for your friends and family.

Have a wonderful holiday and I will see you all next year with more craft ideas!

Items you will need:

1. Floam (Brown)
2. Thin Ribbon
3. Gingerbread Man Cookie Cutter
4. Puffy Paint (Red, Black, White, Green, and Yellow)
5. A black marker
6. Scissors

(For close-up views of images below, just click the pictures.)

1. Use this Gingerbread Man cookie cutter shape if you don't have one of your own.

2. Trace the Gingerbread man cookie cutter with a black marker onto the brown sheet of floam.

3. Cut out the shape.

4. When finished cutting, your Gingerbread man should look just like your cookie cutter.

5. Use your puffy paint and draw in a face and an outfit onto your Gingerbread Man. You can follow my design or come up with your own.

6. Allow the paint to dry over night.

7. Poke a tiny hole in the top of the Gingerbread Man's head and thread a ribbon through the hole. Tie it in a loop.

8. And here you have your finished Gingerbread Man ornament all ready to take his place on your Christmas tree. Make sure you put the date on the back of your ornament so you can always remember when you made it!

9. Here are some other neat cookie cutter shapes that will be fun to make and they'll look great on your tree.
