Sheri from CA explains how she created an adorable Grinch craft using a light bulb.

  • Age Guideline: 8 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 45 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Paint the light bulb green. Let it dry completely. You will probably have to use a few layers of paint. Paint on the face using black paint and let it dry completely. Paint in yellow around eyes to add some extra detail. Let it dry completely. Spray lightly with clear acrylic sealer, you don't want it to run, and let it dry completely.

Cut a piece of ribbon and use hot glue to attach it to the top for a hanger. Measure your fuzzy fur around the head and cut, glue it on with the glue gun.

Don't forget to write the date on the back. Sheri says, "These are so cute, my whole family wants one."
