SALT DOUGH CHRISTMAS TREE DECORATIONS

Hello everyone!!

 We have been extremely busy these last two weeks, specially this weekend getting ready for Christmas. We enjoyed our Kid's Club on Saturday and spent Sunday getting some things ready for Christmas.

 We have still not put up our tree, but we have been preparing some decorations to go on the tree.

 Salt dough, està feta amb 1 got de farina ( substituïu per Maicena en cas d'al·lèrgies), 1 got de sal comuna i mig got d'aigua ( a discreció, heu de veure que queda una masa compacta com de pizza o pa). Com veieu a les fotos, els dos petits de la casa van ser responsables tant del procés de fabricació, com de l'elaboració i posterior decoració. Es pot coure la massa per endurir-la més ràpidament. Nosaltres ens esperem un parell de dies.

Podeu afegir colorant a la massa per fer motius com arbres, o podeu deixar el color natural.

 Hope you like it and enjoy it!

DIY Window Clings

Hello!

 Long time no see!!! We have been up to many things lately....we have just started an adult English Speaking club to meet up once a week for a chat in our town, and as you may have seen, we also started the Kid's Club on Saturdays.

 But as always, we are still into trying out all kinds of crafts and experiments with the boys. 

 Our latest try out, was making our own window clings. We found loads of tutorials and tips on the internet and specially pinterest.

 What you need is really simple. These are the ingredients:

Washing liquid, glue, colouring ( I use food colouring but any will do). You can vary the amounts to the quantity you would like to make, also taking into account if you want to make different colours. We put half a pot of glue ( I think of 100ml) and a little spoonful of fairy liquid. Probably it would be better to use a neutral colour soap, as fairy left things quite green. Then you will need a glass pot or jar to put the ingredients in and long sticks to mix them.

  Then we used some plastic folders, and with a paintbrush Aleksandar made some letters ( he is right now into reading and writing and numbers, so that was his choice). Pau on the other hand enjoy making blobs that resembled leaves somehow. 

 You should then leave overnight ( an a good 12 hours) the figures to dry. Then you can peel them off the plastic and stick them on the window or any glass suface. They can be reused many times.

 Unfortunately I didn't manage to take pics of the final results, but here you have some inspiration ideas from the internet.

Have fun and enjoy!
