This became a family tradition when Corinne one at school when we lived in Florida. She was in second grade and it has hung on our wall every year since.
I was visiting another daughter in Vegas a couple of years ago and we gathered a couple bags full. We felt like we had come across a hidden treasure!
It’s a great craft for every age!
Here’s what you need.
1. Palm Tree frond. The only place I can find them to purchase online is at ETSY.
2. Googly Eyes ……add eyelashes if you wish!
3. Puff balls
4. Ribbon
5. Glue gun
And glue it altogether!
They each have their own personality!
Question. Do you varnish the palm frond? My 7yr old and I have collected some and want to make. My mom, who passed away in 2024 used to make these too!
Nope, we have never done that. The one I made 40 years ago is still in great condition!
