Cranberry Popcorn Garland for the Birds

Cranberry Popcorn Garland  for the birds | Mama Papa Bubba

When I spotted fresh cranberries at our local grocery store here in Kuwait, I grabbed a bag immediately, knowing just how we’d put them to good use.  Cranberry popcorn garlands are just one of those things – a craft so classic that it’s a shame to not try at least once.

After seeing Buddy & Buggy’s awesome 3 dimensional felt trees, I went in search of styrofoam cones {again with the styrofoam, I know…}  Lo and behold, I found some at our beloved City Star in Egaila.  I came home excited to cover them with felt, but when I spotted our star-shaped buttons in our crafting closet, a new project took shape.

Simple Tissue Paper Christmas Wreath | Mama Papa Bubba

Up until this morning, our poppy wreath we’d made for Remembrance Day was still hanging on our apartment door.  It was time for a change.  Truthfully, I had no plans to create a new wreath today, so we kept things really easy and made a simple tissue paper Christmas Wreath.

Paper Roll Handprint Reindeer

Paper Roll Handprint Reindeer | Mama Papa Bubba

Miss G and I have been collecting toilet paper rolls since moving to Kuwait  with a certain project in mind (yes, it seems I’ve gotten over my phobia of crafting with something that once was housed in the washroom – phew!)  With 30+ rolls now in our collection, we sat down to finally begin our project, and somehow, we ended up doing something completely different.  I’m not quite sure what happened… Our paints were out, we were raring to go, and then Miss G mentioned reindeers.  The rest is history.  Before long, we had this cute little paper roll handprint reindeer, and absolutely no start on our much anticipated project.  I guess that’s what happens when you try your best to follow the interests of your child – wonderful unexpected projects!  Now I’m not going to lie and say that this is an open-ended project that inspires a ton of creativity – it’s not.  Buuut, Miss G is all about ‘making decorations’ for the holidays, and she absolutely loved the process, despite it being quite structured.  I figure as long as we’re doing a lot of open-ended creativity-inducing activities, the odd cutesy craft here and there is just fine!
