A great way to create some unique personalized ornaments for a Yule tree is to utilize hot glue. This is a very flexible craft where you can make snowflakes, runes, ancient symbols, etc\u2026 Some things to remember:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hot glue should be handled by parent or with parental supervision with older kids. (low temp glue guns are good too)
\n\u2022 Use olive oil brushed lightly on surfaces intended for the hot glue. If you use wax paper, make sure it is the waxy side and allow cooling completely before using \u201cModge Podge\u201d or watered down white glue.
\n\u2022 If using low temp glue, you can use that glossy plastic surface sheets, again ensure it is completely cooled before removing. Glass or Formica surfaces are great too.
\n\u2022 Utilize either a flat scraper or a flat, thin metal spatula when using hard surfaces.<\/p>\n

Materials:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Glue Sticks
\n\u2022 Hot Glue Gun
\n\u2022 Wax Paper
\n\u2022 Tape
\n\u2022 Dish Detergent or oil
\n\u2022 Ornament Template or free hand it
\n\u2022 Eco-friendly glitter<\/a> or other decorations
\n\u2022 Mod Podge or thinned white glue with water.
\n\u2022 Small Paint Brush
\n\u2022 String or Wire<\/p>\n

Other options:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Bowl of cold water
\n\u2022 Toothpicks
\n\u2022 Fishing line
\n\u2022 Imagination<\/p>\n

Procedure:<\/p>\n

If you are using a template, choose a simple thick black-lined image.<\/p>\n

1. Cover template with wax paper, tape to hold it still
\n2. Use a slow, thick stream of hot glue\/low temp glue. Reinforce weak areas.
\n3. Allow to cool completely. Remove from wax paper. If it is sticking, run remnant wax paper under cold water and set the ornament at the same time.
\n4. If using Modge Podge, simply brush the cooled ornament. If you are using white glue, thin with water and brush ornament.
\n5. Sprinkle with glitter, or paint, or whatever you feel like doing. Nothing is ok too!
\n6. Hanging \u2013 This can be done by hot gluing string, wire or fishing line. You can also use a tooth pick in the hot glue phase to create a hole. Make sure you dip it in oil or dish soap prior to inserting in your ornament.
\n7. Display on tree, or hang from ceiling around the living room at different lengths. This looks really nice.<\/p>\n

Optional:<\/p>\n

Use hot glue and shoot into a bowl of cold water in circular designs, or any designs. Allow to dry. Brush with Modge Podge or thinned white glue. Decorate. Attach a string, or fishing line. Display.<\/p>\n
