Red and green Christmas

As with sounds or musical notes, color combinations elicit mental pictures in us. Orange and black conjure up images of Halloween, while red and green conjure up images of Christmas. Numerous plants sold during Yuletide exhibit these complementary color opposites. Holly is an evergreen shrub with glossy dark green foliage and vivid red berries. Poinsettias, which are most often seen in Southern climates, feature big green leaves and vivid red bracts. Red apples were hung from the early Christian Paradise Tree in Germany. Dark green evergreen boughs are wrapped with bright red bows to announce the season in our homes. Doesn't it seem restrictive? Poinsettia variants have been introduced in a variety of hues, ranging from lemony white to transparent or speckled pink to deep crimson. Additionally, there are an infinite number of colors of red and green that you may use to create decorations and adorn your house.

While red and green may represent the Yuletide, Christmas in actuality evokes a kaleidoscope of hues in gift wrap, cuisines, toys, decorations, and ornaments.

YOU NEED

• 1 sheet Shrinky Dinks*

• 6" x 1 ⁄4" ribbon for each ornament

• Wax pencils, manicure scissors, regular scissors, hole punch, brown paper, oven *Used in this project: Frosted Ruff ’N Ready Shrinky Dinks® from K& B Innovations.

Directions

1. Make a duplicate of the design. Using the frosted side of the Shrinky Dinks plastic sheet, trace it.

2. Use wax-based pencils to color in the patterns, shading and blending the colors.

3. Cut the shapes out. For precise cutting, use manicure scissors. Make the ribbon hole using a paper punch. Baking reduces the size of the ornament to 1/3 its original size, therefore punch multiple times to create a bigger hole.

4. Preheat a toaster or standard oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the Shrinky Dinks pieces on it, and set it in the preheated oven.

During baking, objects will curl. Bake for about 1 to 3 minutes plus 30 seconds, or until they flatten.

5. Remove the pieces from the oven and press flat for 15 seconds while cooling, or mold the piece over an item for the first ten seconds. Handle with caution.

They are sizzling.

6. To hang, thread a ribbon through the hole at the top.
