Random Act of Giving - Day Five
This week has flown by for us. Today was the kids last day of school in which we all missed because Mark, Garrett, and I caught a stomach bug. We decided to keep Lexi home too so that our germs wouldn't spread to the school and church especially right before Christmas.
Yesterday I made a snowman bouquet to take to a random hair salon in town. I had planned on creating at least one thing for my random act of giving project but the week had gone by so fast I hadn't done it yet. The snow man itself is a template that you can print at the end. This is a very easy project that anyone can do. Here is what I did...
- Snow man template
- ribbon
- candy bars - any type
- glue - I use my tape runner for everything.
- felt
- scrapbook paper
Next pick out your ribbon and tie a scarf around each snow man. As you can tell I was in a pink mood and wanted all girl snow men, but you can use whatever color is best for you.
The snow men will need hats so cut out a circle and cut it in half to make the top. For the hat base I cut out stripes of paper that would be a little bigger than the circle. For the snow ball on top I used felt. I cut it out and glittered the top - some in white and some in pink.
I did find some cotton balls and put some on the base to look like they were standing in snow.
I put a Random Act of Giving card in between the snowmen and ran it to a salon downtown. I think the ladies were very shocked and surprised.
Merry Christmas,
Valerie
These are absolutely adorable! I'm sure the ladies at the salon were delighted. Thank you for sharing another creative way to give. Sometimes, we feel inadequate when it comes to reaching out to others. But through this blogging series, you have shown that anyone can give, create, and show love to others. God has fully equipped us with the tools we need to meet people where they are. All we need is a willingness to serve.
