How to Make a Snowflake Funnel Cake

December 28th, 2010

To make a snowflake funnel cake, you will need some soft tortillas, vegetable oil, and powdered sugar. You will also need scissors, a pan for frying the tortillas, and tongs to remove the crispy tortilla from the oil. Make sure the tortillas are fresh and have not been in the fridge, or they will break when you fold them.

How to Make a Snowflake Funnel Cake

Step 1: Fold a fajita tortilla into fourths and cut it with scissors like a snowflake. You don’t want the tortilla to be too large, which is why I chose the fajita size.
Step 2: Throw it into some hot oil. The oil needs to be deep enough to cover the whole tortilla. An inch of oil is plenty. Flip the tortilla in the oil so that it browns evenly on both sides.
Step 3: When the tortilla is crispy and light brown, pull it out with tongs, onto a paper towel.
Step 4: Sprinkle powdered sugar on it.

Voila! A yummy, beautiful snowflake that tastes just like a funnel cake!

Transformer Cookies

December 27th, 2010

A woman I went to boarding school with in Guatemala told me how she made Transformer cookies with her sons, and what a success it was. She just used a gingerbread man cookie cutter and squared off the head, arms, and feet. I thought that was a great idea, so we made them.

My oldest son Bryan actually sculpted a more complicated Transformer with a metal spatula while the dough was still on the counter. Then we iced the cookies with icing. I was able to get such bright bold primary colors from icing dye made for professionals who decorate cakes for a living. You can buy the icing dye from craft supply stores that have a cake-decorating aisle.

We added more details with black icing gel, which you can get at a regular grocery store. You could also add M+M’s and other candy for the buttons of each robot. The finished Transformer cookies looked good enough to eat!

How to Make Snowflakes that Cling to Glass

December 24th, 2010

Winter is the perfect time for decorating with snowflakes. My children always enjoy making paper snowflakes with scissors and folded paper. We hang them from the ceiling with thread and a piece of clear tape. Then it looks like it’s snowing in the house.

This year I found a craft in the Family Fun magazine, which was to make snowflakes that cling to glass.

How to Make Snowflakes that Cling to Glass

Step 1: First you draw a snowflake with pencil on a sheet of white paper.

Step 2: Put a sheet of wax paper on top of it. I taped them both down so that they wouldn’t slide around.

Step 3: Get dimensional fabric paint (the glittering crystal one), and you trace the entire snowflake with it. It sort of looks like glue. Make sure it’s thick; if it’s too thin it will break when you try to peel it off. I found an alternate way to do it with glue as well. You use white school glue and shake glitter on it. They look just as good as the ones I made.

Step 4: Let it dry overnight. Peel it off the wax paper and stick it to a window.

Goofy & Fun Decorated Ornaments

December 21st, 2010

We’ve been transforming our plain Christmas ball ornaments into unique decorated ornaments that are fun to look at. Some turned out really goofy! I took out my craft supplies, and the kids started making faces with google eyes and beards. I’ve never seen this before, and it looked so funny that my husband had a good laugh. My daughter wanted to wrap a ball in a glittery cloth that had ripped off one of her tutus. We tied a ribbon onto the top of it, and it looked great. Next, my daughter wanted to put fake jewels all over a ball. I put dots of hot glue, and she glued each jewel down. My husband said it looked like a disco ball.

My goofy son hot glued a large eyeball to one ornament. It looked funny, like someone was looking at you, perhaps an alien with one eye. We also put swirls of white school glue on some red balls, and shook some gold glitter on them, and they looked quite good. Someone even made a happy face out of glue, shook sprinkles on it, and hung it to dry on the tree. We loved our decorated ornaments that reflected our children’s personalities!
