The Second Day of Catmas

Yuui
Welcome to the Second Day of Catmas!

Let's get all bundled up in some long shorts and make a little something with the kiddies.

 

You may remember this idea from HALLOWEEN. Well, we already had this little version in mind.

All you'll need for this is:

Clear chandelier shades.

Terra cotta plant saucers.

Contact paper

Foam core board

Black spray paint

White spray paint

Ribbon

Hot glue

Assorted beads or embellishments

Hot glue

An exacto knife

Scissors

A pencil.

Paint the saucers a nice glossy black.

Have the Minions draw snowman faces on some contact paper and cut them out. Peel off the paper backing and arrange them on your chandelier shades, which should be upside down.

Using the top opening of the shade as a guide, draw a circle on the foam core board.

Draw a larger circle around it using a drinking glass or a protractor, as we did. Repeat for each shade.

Nab your exacto knife and cut the donut shapes out and trim the rough outer edges with scissors.

Spray paint them black. You see where this is going, right?

Take the chandelier shades...

...and give them a light coat of white gloss. Sprinkle on some glitter if you'd like while they're still wet.

Once dry, peel off the contact paper carefully.

Oh, hi there! You now have your little angels' artistic abilities preserved for all time.

Smish the donut over the chimney of your new wintry hurricane.

Wrap a snippet of black satin ribbon around the chimney with hot glue.

I added some little glass beads to catch the light.

Using thin ribbon (your color choice; we all know what I used), cover the edges of the hat brim.

What grandparent wouldn't love this?

Light and enjoy. If you're using real candles, I recommend tealights, but battery powered ones will make this much safer with all the commotion.

No commotion at your place. Email me your address. I've got some extra.
