100 Days of Christmas - Christmas Pudding paper & card ornament

Here is a simple but effective paper & card ornament that you can make with children.

You will need:
scrap cardboard to make a template - empty cereal packets or old calendars are ideal.
brown card
green card
white paper
red paper
PVA glue
glitter (optional)
pencil
cup
scissors

1.  Draw around a cup x 2 onto scrap card . Cut out. One circle is your pudding template. On the other circle, draw a wobbly line to make the icing.  Cut out. This is your 'icing' template. Draw a holly leaf shape onto scrap card to create a holly template.

2. Draw around your pudding template onto brown card. Cut out.

3. Draw around your icing template onto white paper. Cut out.

4. Glue icing onto pudding.

5. Draw around your holly template onto green card x 2. Cut out.

6. Cut out a little circle of red paper. This is your berry. Arrange holly leaves and the berry onto your pudding, and glue into place.

7. If you are using glitter, apply glue to holly leaf in desired shape and sprinkle with glitter. Tip excess glitter onto a sheet of paper. Fold paper in half and tap excess glitter back into bottle.

8. Thread a piece of string through the top for hanging.
