Hello

Rock, Paper, Scissors Ornament from @mamamissblog for a #KidMadeChristmas / Inspired by the kids book The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by @DrewDaywalt @MrAdamRex





So, I got my kiddo.

And, I’ve got all my supplies and tools.

I’m ready – let’s get to the kid-made ornament makin’, shall we?!

For the next 10 days, today November 23rd-December 2nd, we will have several ALL NEW kid-made ornaments each day.

 

So, let’s get to it, shall we?!

Rock, Paper, Scissors

This year we were inspired by the hilarious children’s book The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors by Drew Daywalt.  The book’s amusing illustrations are done by Adam Rex.

From acclaimed, bestselling creators Drew Daywalt, author of The Day the Crayons Quit and The Day the Crayons Came Home, and Adam Rex, author-illustrator of Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, comes a laugh-out-loud hilarious picture book about the epic tale of the classic game Rock, Paper, Scissors.

V&T are currently OBSESSED with The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors book!  It’s a laugh-out-loud wonderful story, that is insanely hilarious and entertaining.  It’s best to read to your kiddos using different voices to get the full effect… “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?” asks the Rock lol.  In fact, I just read it again last night, for like the eightieth time – it never gets old – this book is A MUST to add to your kid’s book collection – I promise they’ll love it & love you for reading it to them!

Now, this book was done with my oldest who is eight, so, I recommend this as a tween ornament-making project, therefore, I think 8+ should be fine.  My daughter absolutely ADORES any and all art projects, and all kinds of crafting, so spending the day creating with Sculpey clay is a no-brainer activity for her.

Rock, Paper, Scissors Ornament

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Mini Doll House Scissors (I used this one which is part of a kit & what my store had, but this pack of four is a better deal)
  • Sculpey Oven-Bake White Clay
  • Sculpey Oven-Bake Grey Clay
  • 3 Lobster Claw Clips
  • 2-3 Large Jump Rings
  • 18 gauge wire
  • light blue ultra fine point sharpie
  • light pink ultra fine point sharpie
  • toothpick
  • ruler
  • oven
  • baking tray & parchment
  • long nose pliers
  • wire cutters

Rock, Paper, Scissors Ornament

Here’s how to make it:

  • Start off with using the dollhouse scissors as the starting point for sizing.
  • After that, create the “rock” out of the grey Sculpey clay.
  • Then you will create a sheet of lined “notebook paper” out of white Sculpey clay.
  • Poke a hole for the wire to go through in the rock using the toothpick.
  • Create three holes on the left side of the notebook paper to recreate the 3-ring binder holes.
  • Now, bake the “rock” & “notebook paper” on the parchment-lined baking tray according to Sculpey clay directions.
  • After baking the charms, let them both completely cool.
  • Once the notebook paper is completely cool, use the ruler to draw light blue lines horizontally to fill the paper and then similarly one light pink line vertically, on the left side, close to the three holes.
  • Next, attach jump rings to the scissors and notebook paper.  Depending on how you made the hole in the rock you might be able to use a jump ring for the rock. Or you might have to create your own jump ring as I did, due to the fact that I carved my hole in the rock side-to-side vs. front-to-back.  If you made the hole side-to-side like mine, create your own jump ring using the long nose pliers and wire cutters.
  • Then, after attaching the jump ring, you will attach the lobster claws to each jump ring on each piece.
  • Finally, create a loop-de-loop ornament hook to hang the charms from.

You’re done – sahweet!
