Description

This is a Christmas card, left over from the holidays. I am pretty sure I haven't posted this one here yet. Trying my hand at making hanging icicles hang from the house. They were not as easy as they seemed they would be. I struggled to get these to look real, still not so sure they do. The snowmen stickmen you see all lined up, I recreated those on the computer, from the real one's I have here. They are adorable and easy to make in real life. Using a wooden fence post's, you can buy at Home Depot, paint it solid white, then paint the pointy part red or green for his hat, and add either pom-pom's or cotton balls or paint on the fur around the edge of the hat. Then I simply paint a face on it nothing at all fancy, and I add a few decorations, like holly leaves or mini pinecones, down the front, for the button's. There is a stake at the bottom of these so they can be pounded into the ground. There is also a nail behind each one, so I can string the lights from one post to the next. These go in our front yard each Christmas and are really darling, when driving by. I have had many people stop and ask where I got them from. lol So now, all of you have a new Christmas craft project for next year! Thank you for viewing. Have a fantastic day!
