How to Make
Step 1: Print the templates above and trace Nazboo and the gems onto shrinkable plastic sheets. Be sure to outline the design in black sharpie and to color in Nazboo’s eyes. Otherwise, use colored pencils or permanent market to add color to your craft. Cut out Nazboo and the gems and make a hole in each using the whole puncher (so the shape can easily be attached to the twinkle lights later on).
Step 2: Line a cookie sheet tray with non-stick aluminum foil. Place your creations on the tray, rough side up. Leave space between the shapes so they don’t stick together! While you are doing this, preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oven is preheated, place the cookie tray inside. Bake for 1 to 3 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Step 3: Attach the finished pieces to twinkle lights to watch your creation shimmer and shine!
