MAIL DEADLINE IS
THURSDAY BUT THAT
SERVICE WILL COST YOU
MORE.
SPEAKING OF THE
HOLIDAY SPIRIT, WE ARE
GETTING YOU GUYS READY
FOR CHRISTMAS AND THE
HOLIDAYS BY GIVING YOU A
LITTLE BIT OF JOY.
JOY SHIMABUKURO WITH BEN
FRANKLIN CRAFTS JOINS US
THIS MORNING WITH SOME
FUN CRAFTS THAT YOU CAN
DO FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
GOOD MORNING.
THEY ARE EASY FOR
ADULTS BUT THEY ARE ALSO
EASY FOR THE KIDS TO DO.
PERFECT.
THAT'S WHAT WE LOVE.
ESPECIALLY NOW BECAUSE
EVERYONE IS ON CHRISTMAS
BREAK, YOU HAVE FREE
TIME AND THIS IS
SOMETHING YOU CAN REALLY
DO TO BOND.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING
TODAY?
SOMETHING SIMPLE
TAKING THE REGULAR GLASS
IVY BOWLS AND THEN YOU
JUST SPAWNTH PAINT ON
IT.
IF YOU WANTED A SNOWMAN,
THIS IS ALL JUST SIMPLE
GLUE, ONE FOAM, KIND OF
AWKWARD SHAPES TO MAKE
IT LIKE IT'S BLACK COAL
FOR THE MOUTH AND SOME
CARROT NOSE AND THE
EYES.
YOU KIND OF WANT IT
ORGANIC SO IT'S REAL
COAL.
AND HOT GLUE GUN.
UM-HUM.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT
LIKE A CANDY CONTAINER
BUT WE WANT TO CAP IT.
I LOVE IT IT.
THIS IS REALLY
SIMPLE.
IT'S JUST FELT.
GOES AROUND, GLUE IT
TOGETHER AND CINCH IT
WITH SOME BAKER'S TWINE.
ROLL IT, THAT IS SUPER
EASY.
AND THEN JUST TIE A
CUTE LITTLE BOW AROUND
IT.
AND SIMILAR IS WE LIKE
TO RECYCLE.
OF COURSE.
SO YOU CAN USE YOUR
TOILET PAPER ROLLS OR
PAPER TOWELS AND YOU'RE
JUST GOING WRAP THESE
INTO PENGUINS.
I LOVE PENGUINS.
SO JUST WRAPPED AROUND
AND A COUPLE OF SIMPLE
WHITE SHAPES AND BLEUG
ON SOME EYES AND SAME
WAY WE DID THIS.
THAT IS SUPER SIMPLE.
SO CUTE.
ONLY DIFFERENCE IS
THIS BECAUSE IT'S A TUBE
AND THERE'S NO HOLE.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS
JUST PUT A CIRCLE.
GRAB A CIRCLE AND PIECE
IT ALL AROUND SO THAT
YOU CAN PUT SOMETHING
INSIDE.
AND YOU CAN PUT IT
INSIDE THIS ONE TOO.
I LOVED IT.
VERY EASY.
COULD YOU IMAGINE IF
YOU GUYS HAD A HOOLD
PARTY AND PEOPLE WENT
HOME WITH THE CUTE
LITTLE PENGUIN.
YOU WOULD BE WINNING
HOLIDAY PARTIES.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE
IDEA.
LOOK AT HOW CUTE THIS
IS.
SO THIS IS A
GINGERBREAD PERSON.
ANYWAY, SO ALL IT IS IS
SEVEN INCH EMBROIDERY
HOOP AND YOU TAKE ONE OF
THOSE PIECES OF FELT AND
POP IT ON.
YOU WOULD TAKE THIS,
UNSCREW THIS, TAKE IT ON
AND CINCH IT ON.
YOU DON'T EVEN NEED
TO GLUE IT.
PERFECT.
AND THEN DEPENDING ON
WHAT CHARACTER YOU WANT
TO MAKE, MAKE IT IN A
REINDEER OR SOMETHING
BUT WE JUST MADE IT INTO
A LITTLE GINGERBREAD
PERSON AND THERE WAS
EXTRA FELT ON THE BOTTOM
SO WE MADE THE LITTLE
HAND SO WE COULD
ACTUALLY ADD THESE
RIBBONS.
AND THIS I LOVE
BECAUSE MY CHRISTMAS
CARDS JUST GET THROWN ON
MY FRIDGE AND THEY ARE
ALL PILED UP.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S
SO CUTE AND A FESTIVE
WAY TO SHOW THEM OFF.
YOU COULD MAKE
SEVERAL OF THEM OR YOU
CAN MAKE IT AS AN ADVENT
CALENDAR.
FOR THIS SHE ALSO DID
THE HOT GLUE.
SIMPLE AND SO CUTE.
THIS IS A LITTLE
GINGERBREAD ORNAMENT IN
A WAY.
THANK YOU.
YOU JUST TAKE YOUR
CRUM BOW CRAFT STICK AND
YOU PAINT IT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
BRUSH AROUND, YOU CAN
TAKE THOSE JUMBO CRAFT
STICKS AND CUT IT.
USE THIS AS YOUR PAINT
YOU CAN DO IT WITH YOUR
KEIKI.
I JUST USED THE PAINT
FROM THE CAP BECAUSE
THERE'S ENOUGH PAINT
THERE.
THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT'S DEFINITELY AN
ALL-AGE FRIENDLY ONE
TOO.
TO MAKE IT EASY WHEN
YOU WANT TO PUT ON THE
EYES, PUT THEM ON GLUE
DOTS AND LEAVE THEM ON
THE ROLL UNTIL YOU'RE
READY SO YOU DON'T HAVE
EYES ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
I LOVE THAT.
MY LITTLE SQUIGGLIES
DEFINITELY NEED WORK.
THESE ARE THE CUTEST
LITTLE CRAFTS.
