Keepsake Christmas Decorations – Part 1
Some of the best Christmas memories I have is taking time with my children to make Christmas decorations. We have made decorations for the house that we still use today. It's wonderful to remember activities that we shared as we created decorations for Christmas. Ideas for creating your own keepsake decorations are fun for the whole family.
We love to make wall decorations that add Christmas memories and color to our home. A fantastic keepsake decoration is 'Rudolph', a deer with antlers made in the shape of your child's hand. Make sure to put the date, child's name & age on it. A perfect complement to Rudolph is a wreath with your child's picture, which is detailed in Keepsake Christmas Decorations, Part 2.
DEER WITH HANDS ANTLERS
Materials: light & dark brown, & white construction paper, scissors, red marker and glue. The first you need to do is to draw around your child's hands, with their arms crossed and laying on the light brown paper. This will let the right thumb be pointing left and the left thumb will be pointing right. Have the tips of their little fingers about an inch apart. After tracing the hands and the area between the little fingers to the wrist (which forms a "U"), add the antler's bottom by drawing a line between the thumbs that matches the width of their hands (about 2"). Make it parallel to the line formed between the little fingers. Sideways, the form will be a "C" with fingers aiming out.
Then let the child cut out the image. While they're cutting, you may fold a piece of light brown construction paper (from top to bottom, making a 4" x 6" piece). Next draw a slightly elongated shape with slight points at the folded end. This is where the finger "antlers" will be glued. While the child is cutting out this shape, you need to cut 2 white "egg" shaped circles the size of a silver dollar, 2 dark brown quarter-sized circles, and a half dollar sized red foil circle. These are for the face. Cut out white candy cane about 2" (hook) and 5" long, and draw on about 12 diagonal lines for the red stripe, which can be colored with the markers.
Now it is time to glue everything on and make the keepsake memory of the antlered deer, using your child's hand. Take the light brown oblong shape and glue the "antlers" on the folded part with the slight points. Next glue on the oblong white shapes about 2" to 2 & ½" from the bottom, on either side of the "face", with at least 1" between them. Now glue the dark brown circles in the middle of the whites and glue the red foil just below the eyes, in the middle of the face. With a black marker, make a mouth, slightly curved, almost the shape of the bottom of the "face". Glue on the candy cane angling from the mouth. You now have 'Rudolph' with your child's "handmade" antlers, a wonderful keepsake in the future of what size your child was this year.
