Quick, easy Christmas decoration craft

Went well with the theme of our nativity being about God's gift.


You will need:
  • Coloured foam. I used sparkly A5 foam, from a pound shop.
  • Sticky-backed foam (or use glue, but sticky is easier). Or self adhesive ribbon, but I couldn't find any.
  • Suitable stickers. The crowns and hearts were actually taken from a fairytale set!
  • String
  • Single hole punch. Small hole if possible - a leather punch is good, because it can cut through a lot of layers.
Teachers preparation:
  1. Cut the foam into 'squares'. A5 gives 6 more or less square pieces. A guillotine is quickest.
  2. Cut the sticky foam into strips. 1cm (ish). 
With the kids:
  1. Stick two strips to a square. This makes it look like a parcel and also a cross!
  2. Decorate with stickers.
  3. Punch hole.
  4. Thread string.
  5. Repeat till parents come!
  6. Brush up all the backing paper from the stickers...
