POKEMON CHRISTMAS WREATHS
Manon is runs an after school computer class and is the
webmaster of a cool French
language pokemon site. They have links to and (better yet)
photos of nearly
every pokemon craft on the internet (including mine), so even if you
don't speak french, it's still worth a peek! (They also have a good
list of pokemon
coloring pages!) Manon and the kids also designed these
wreaths for us! Here's a blurb from her email: "The children wanted Pokemon ornaments for the Christmas tree, something they
can print at school and do at home or in class. I really like your Maurice the moose wreath craft ... so I did some cut and
paste et voilą : a Christmas Pikachu wreath template and a Christmas Blastoise wreath
template. I'm sending you copies (color templates, b&w templates, GIF)."
Materials:
 |
a printer, |
 |
a piece of paper... I always
prefer to use a heavy paper (like construction paper), but it isn't necessary. |
 |
some crayons, paint, markers
or pencil crayons, |
 |
scissors, |
 |
ribbon, string or wool, |
 |
glue, |
 |
something hard as a base, like
cardboard, a margarine container lid or a frozen juice can lid. |
Optional materials:
 |
paint, |
 |
Christmas wrapping paper, |
 |
Christmas stickers. |
Instructions
 |
Print out the template of choice.
|
 |
Color (where appropriate) and
cut out the template pieces.
|
 |
Cut a circle about the right
size for the wreath (doesn't have to be exact) from cardboard or a margarine
container lid. Or just use a frozen juice can lid.
|
 |
Either paint the circle a Christmas color or cover with gift wrap or
colored paper.
|
 |
Glue the wreath onto the circle.
|
 |
Glue the pokemon into the center
of the wreath and the hat onto the pokemon.
|
 |
Glue the Christmas message onto
the top or bottom of the wreath.
|
 |
Decorate further (as desired)
with Christmas stickers.
|
 |
Attach a string, ribbon or wool
as a hanger so you can hang on the Christmas tree (either by poking a hole
in the base and threading the string through or by attaching well with
tape).
|
 |
Close the template window after
printing to return to this screen.
 |
Set page margins to zero if
you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE,
PRINTER SETUP in
most browsers). |
