Happy Holidays!!! We hope that your holiday season is going well. As we celebrate the last Kwanzaa of the decade, we want to share some of our favorite handmade gift ideas. Kwanza is celebrated from Dec. 26-Jan.1; each day focuses on an important principle. On day six, we celebrate the principle Kuumba which means creativity. This is a great time to make a special gift for a loved one. 

Colorful Fan

Picture
.1. We decorated 3, 5' x 8" sheets of paper. 2. Then folded the sheets in the accordion style. 3. We glued them together using a low temp. hot glue gun
Picture
4. We added green popsicle sticks and black ribbon with the glue gun. 5.We used the black ribbon to keep it closed or open
Creating this pocket fan with some simple art supplies (including black dot paint makers and gold metallic marker) was fun. This colorful mini pocket fan would be a great gift for Kwanzaa.

Greeting Card Print

Picture
1. We created a stamp by drawing a drum on a foam sheet and cutting it out. 2.Using a black ink pad, we inked the stamp. 3. Then we pressed the stamp on to a red and green 4.5' x 6.5" notecard and added a greeting.
This colorful notecard is a great way to create a personal greeting for Kwanzaa and help young artists develop printmaking skills.
