This is my first post after our home PC decided to commit suicide last week. J struggled all weekend to recover our data and put it onto our MacBook Pro. It was a herculean effort given how difficult it was to access the files and the fact that we brought home a new (to us) boat on Friday that required a complete fence rebuild on our side yard for yacht storage. More on that later though! Just know that it’s a miracle that I’m able to be Internet-functional today.
The boys and I worked on a simple fall craft today in the form of a cute autumn tree. Cutie Pie got started this morning by painting two sheets of construction paper with washable paint in fall colors. It took a long time for his artwork to dry due to the monsoon that we’ve been experiencing this week. My plan was to have Cousin B make a tree too but the paint hadn’t dried by the time he had to leave this afternoon.
The idea is really simple. I cut out a tree form from black construction paper. Then I cut out a bunch of leaf shapes from the pages that Cutie Pie had painted earlier in the day. Wildman helped us adhere the tree and the leaves to the sticky side of a sheet of contact paper this evening. Then we stuck it to our sliding glass door.
Viola!
I give you our fall tree! I love how it turned out! It was a quick and easy autumn craft that I will keep in my mental file for years to come.
