    Frozen (themed) Eggs

    frozen-eggs2

    We have a serious case of Frozen-itus going on in our house. Who doesn’t?! Bug has watched the movie about a thousand times and we sing the songs all day long. So it’s no surprise that when Isabel of alphamom.com asked us to make some Frozen-themed eggs I jumped at the chance. We were all over this craft like frost in Arendelle.

    Click over and check them out! Also, these photos are for the grandparents because…Bug, she just keeps on being all photogenic and stuff!

    Eiffel Tower Snowflake!

    Bonjour!

    You know what you need to make right this very minute? A tiny paper Eiffel Tower!

    No way, you say?
    Yes, way.
    Totally way.
    It’s as easy as making a snowflake. I promise.

    All you need to do is print out my handy Eiffel Tower Snowflake and then watch this movie:

    Actually, you don’t have to watch the movie at all. It’s a pretty self-explanatory template to those who are paperically (that’s a word, right?) inclined. Just fold on the dark lines and cut on the light ones. Well, maybe there’s more to it than that but you can figure it out. You’re brilliant!

    The movie is very poorly produced so feel free to save six minutes of life. But then again if you want to know how much of a dork I really am, rambling on about kids and exacto knives, then please, be my guest! Pop some pop corn and turn up the volume. I have a mouse voice.

    I’ll also be making these and some triangle boxes (woo whoo!) tomorrow night (7pm!) at Mesa Verde Library. Hope to see at least one of you there!
