Dora the Explorer Star Tree Topper
Top the tree with a delicate snowflake cut from craft foam and embellished with a sparkling gem.
Supplies:
Dora's Star Tree Topper Template
Orange craft foam
Yellow craft foam
Pink craft foam
Red craft glitter felt (board style so it's stiff)
White faux-fur trim
Wiggly eyes in extra-large
Foamie glue
Flat dowel, about 8 to 10 in. in length
Green and white tempera paint (optional)
Directions:
Step 1
Print and cut out Dora's Star Tree Topper template. Trace the shapes onto the corresponding colored foams and felt (as indicated on the printables). From the faux-fur trim, cut a strip to the width of the hat and a round piece for a pom-pom.
Step 2
Glue on the wiggly eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. Then add the hat, trim, and pom-pom. Let dry.
Step 3
Meanwhile, paint the bottom of the dowel green so it will blend with your tree. If the reverse side of the topper will be visible, you can paint it yellow to disguise the dowel.
