Contact Paper Skeleton Hands

The Tiny FunnelThese skeleton hands are easy to make and you can put them almost anywhere. I made toilet tentacles for work this year- sometimes it’s hard to find black contact paper; this craft uses white contact paper which is easier to find. 

The Tiny Funnel

Materials:

Contact paper
Glue stick
Scissors
Some kind of template- you can do a search on the internet for "skeleton hand templates" and find all kinds or draw one yourself.


Lightly use glue-stick to attach the template to the back of the contact paper and cut the shape out.


Gently peel the template paper off and re-glue it FRONT SIDE DOWN to the back of a second piece of contact paper (so you have opposite hands).
Peel the paper backing off the contact paper and stick it to a clean dry surface.





Of course! Use common sense- don’t stick it a priceless heirloom but the fridge, a mirror or a door all work well.

Crepe Paper Easter Egg Garland

I’ve being working on a project using crepe paper and this was something that happened along the way. I suppose you could make the eggs with tissue paper but the crepe paper was so easy and when the edges over lap, they make a new color stripe!
It’s really beautiful to see the hanging eggs in the sun. They glow almost like stained glass.

Materials:
Contact paper
Crepe paper streamers
Scissors
Thin Sharpie marker
String
Needle





Cut two 4.5” strips of contact paper (the roll is 18”).
Peel the paper back off one strip and lay the film sticky side up on the table.

Add a length of crepe paper to the center of the sticky contact paper then add a 2nd length and over lap them slightly.

Add a 3rd length of crepe paper to the bottom.

Now, you could just cut your eggs out here- you don’t need to encase them in a second layer of contact paper but I did.

Remove the paper back off the 2nd strip and lay the film sticky side over the crepe paper.

Really press the 2 surfaces together.

Trace around an egg shape cut from card stock – mine measures 4" tall.

Remember to flip the egg template so there are different top and bottom colors.

First, lay the eggs out and arrange them in the order they will go on the string.

Then cut the string to about 6’ (or more/less if needed) and thread the needle through the top of each egg about .25" from the edge.
