My children enjoy building all the cool things they discover on Instructables - and wanted to create one for their own. My youngest son (Wesley) is 8, and this is a project he wanted to show everyone how to build. What is it? We call it a White Glue Ornament. Have fun!

Step 1: Gather Supplies.

Wax paper
Sharpie
White glue
Food coloring

Step 2: Draw Out Design.

Using a sharpie (dark colors tend to work best) - draw out your shape.
Intricate designs are difficult to cut out for little hands - so if creating with a child, help them "keep it simple!"

This project is being done by my 8 year old son - Wesley.

Step 3: Fill Shape With White Glue.

White glue is easy to put down - simply follow the lines.
Once you have your outline covered, add more glue in-between the lines.
Use a brush to spread the glue so inside the shape is completely covered with glue.

Step 4: Add Color.

Add drops of food coloring to the wet glue for the color you are after. Wes used yellow food coloring on the body of the pumpkin.
Use the paint brush to swirl the color and "mix" with the glue for an even consistency.
Wes also added drops of green food coloring to the stem.

Be sure and thoroughly wash out the brush... or it will be no good for future projects!

Step 5: Let Dry...

The hardest part for children (and adults) - is waiting.

Wes started this project mid-day. It was completely dry by 7 the next morning. Because the glue goes on pretty thick, expect at least 12-hours for it to be completely dry.
Once it is dry - use scissors or X-acto blade to cut out.
