Christmas countdown task 2 ( Christmas wrapping paper )

This week the teachers put up a challenge called the Christmas countdown. You had to choose a task to do and do it, there were also three different levels Rudolf level, Elf level, and the Santa level. I choose to do the Christmas wrapping paper Rudolf level. I created a Christmas tree wrapping paper with stars on it and a glittery background. It was pretty easy to make this wrapping paper because I only made Christmas trees with triangles and rectangles and I used star shapes for the stars in the background.

Christmas countdown task 1 ( Create a wreath )

This week the teachers put up a challenge called the Christmas countdown. You had to choose a task to do and do it, there were also three different levels Rudolf level, Elf level, and the Santa level. I choose to do the Christmas wreath challenge and I did the elf level you had to create the wreath that they choose. It was really hart at first but then it got easier throughout the task. I think I did lots of detail and an overflowing jar of honey in my task.
