Angel ornament

Glue gun, acrylic paint, four year old.

I think I might be slightly insane.

I thought Lovey should make the gifts for his godparents, grandparents, and teachers. So instead of doing what I originally planned with the many baby food jars under my sink, I thought of doing a project that I used to do when I taught fourth grade. That should have been my first clue that I was going crazy.

Now even with fourth graders I was slightly crazy to do it and maybe with the present I should have included the following note:
Merry Christmas - Hope you enjoy the angel ornament. You might need to shop at the uniform store over vacation because we got acrylic paint on your child's shirt/jumper/sweater. Oops, sorry. Oh and the burned fingers should heal before we return to school, so your child will still be able to hold a pencil and do their work. Again Merry Christmas!

Actually I used the glue gun, so there were not any burned fingers and miraculously no one painted their uniforms.

Lovey did really well too. He painted the ornaments and I did all of the gluing. Now he can't wait to give them.
