snowman lantern
if you fancy a big art job that is easy and looks impresive have a go at this one.
make a snow man shape out of chicken wire at least 3ft tall with a nice plump body. Leave a v shaped inch gap at the base in the back to feed a wire through. Cover in cling film then get the children to rip small pieces of tissue dip them in watery pva and cover the whole of the wire. This could take a few layers and it needs to dry between. Sprinkle frosty glitter on last layer. You can paint on features or use screwed up paper. Use a length of crepe paper for scarf. To attatch fairy lights use bauble hooks on the inside of the snowman to arrange and drape them around. It looks great but I dont leave it on for the whole day as sometimes the lights get a bit hot ( depends on your lights). I tell the children he needs a rest for a while or he will melt.
He doesnt need lights to look good so you could leave them out.
