DIY Jack Frost icy kids craft

Here's my follow up tutorial to our girl Disney Movie FROZEN inspired Elsa snow/ice gloves! 

My boys wanted in on that ice "throwing/swirling" fun so we created these Jack Frost gloves! 

They've loved creating snowballs and frost layers with their imagination using these gloves. 

The supplies are same as the Girls tutorial but we only used a hot glue gun - no sewing machine for these. 

They wanted to use more tinsel for the frosty look and wanted the strands to be shorter so as they waved their hand over something it would create frost. So creative right!?!!

Place cardboard in between the glove layers so the hot glue doesn't seep through.

Alternate a strip of hot glue, tinsel, hot glue ribbon....

Once glued and a bit dried (or cooled down) we gave the tinsel a "haircut" to the length they liked. 

Then to cover up the glue lines we added one more layer of short tinsel strands (from the ends we cut off) right in the center. 

 DONE! 

Now the girls and the boys can swirl ice and snow around! 

 Making frost, ice and snow is serious business! LOL

Refashion your Life - Random Kindness

Have you ever participated in doing random acts of kindness? Consciously? We may do kind acts each day but to purposely focus on it is a bit different. At least that was my experience. As a family, we have talked about and done some random acts of kindness over the last couple of weeks (one of them I blogged about here). It's been fun. It's great to see people's reactions. I once tipped a guy who helped me to my car at the thrift store with a large load. He was so beside himself he had no idea what to do. It was so out of left field for him, yet he was so appreciative. And now he says Hi to me each time we see each other at the store. I think I've made a friend for life. 

Think about kindness. 

Think about being random. Getting outside of your normal routine.

Think about others.

Think....

Obviously this video was made in a different country then where I live by the language he used and the things he was able to do but amazing and simple none the less.

Let us be Kind.

If you've never been random with your kindness I challenge you to give it a try. 

Maybe think about spending your New Years Eve completing 14 (for the 2014 year) random acts of kindness to ring in the new year! Could be super fun......make it a great day!
