Yule Log

For this craft you will need:

• an old shirt and newspaper to protect your clothing and work area.
• toilet tissue roll
• brown paper (large enough to cover the ends of the t.t. roll.)
• wood shavings
• brown tempra paint
• wall paper paste
• nativity candle
• ribbon, small pointsettias, holly leaves etc. to decorate the log.
  
  Steps
  1. Stuff the t.t. roll with newspaper. This will prevent it from collapsing.
  2. Make circles from the brown paper large enough to cover the ends. Snip into the circles. It will be easier to glue the edges down. Draw circles on the paper so it looks like rings on a tree.
  3. Poke a hole in the center of the t.t. roll large enough to put the candle in.
  4. Make a mixture of wood shavings, brown tempra paint, and wall paper paste.
  5. Apply this mixture to the t.t. roll
  6. Add candle and decorations
  7. Let dry. It may take a couple of days for it to dry all the way through.
