Last week I blogged about a Holy Water Font prototype that Izzy and I made. I got the idea from Alice at Cottage Blessings and her article on crafting for a crowd. I thought this might be a nice idea for our Legion of Mary Group.
I got the wooden plaques for 99 cents each. The glass containers in front were 20 cents each. Mr. Pete supplied the paint and I bought various stickers and other decorations. Another mom was going to supply the holy cards.
Following Murphy's Law not everything went as planned. We only have ten kids in our Legion of Mary program and I bought enough supplies for all of them. So it was a little disheartening when two of them decided they were going to go to a previously unscheduled volley ball practice instead! The mom bringing the holy cards forgot them. Luckily I brought with me an old Calendar from the Basilica and it had a lot of pictures to choose from, although they weren't as easy to work with. I was a little afraid that my kids would seem a bit slower than these other kids as far as working with art supplies go, but Izzy, Noah and Gabe actually followed the directions well and used all of the materials appropriately.
Some nice pieces were made but I didn't have my camera to take the pictures. These are what Izzy, Gabe and Noah made and what we are going to put up in our home!
