Christmas art - bells and angels

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

We made papier mache Christmas bells yesterday.  Teacher made glue for us from cooking flour and water.  She had cut up newspapers.  We dipped the bits of newspaper into the glue and put them on a yoghurt pot.  We left them to dry on the heater.  (Teacher took some photos of us making the bells, but they seem to have disappeared from the camera.  That's a shame!)  This morning we painted the bells, and sprinkled them with glitter.  Patricia put ribbons on them so we can hang them on our Christmas trees.  They look great.
We also made angels for our Christmas trees.  Yesterday we painted toilet rolls and left them to dry on the windowsill.  Today we painted angels, stuck on silver wings and halos, cut out the angels and stuck them on the toilet rolls.  (Teacher took lots of pictures of the finished angels, but they too have disappeared, she'll take more tomorrow,  maybe it has something to do with the magic of Christmas, or maybe she just needs a new camera!!!)  They are so nice they almost look like real angels.  Check back tomorrow to see photos of them.
