penguin poop an easy Christmas craft project Penguin Poop is an easy Christmas craft project, and one that I think will appeal to kids. These bags of penguin poop are part of my inventory that I’ll be showing at a craft sale on November 23.

I got the idea from Kerry’s Paper Crafts blog. Kerry made Pumpkin Poop. I changed things a bit.

The poem, modified from Kerry’s, reads:

I caught a little penguin
With a rope tied in a loop
It must have really scared him
‘Cause he made this penguin poop.

The penguin is a stamp from Hampton Art. Its heat embossed with black pigment ink and clear embossing powder, then colored with markers.

I cut the offset circle with the Cricut Machine (It’s the O in the George cartridge) and the flower is one of the shapes in the Cricut garden cartridge.

Amazon carries the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter with 2 Cartridges but ships only to the US. If at all possible, I recommend getting this product from a local craft shop. They are usually great about providing customer support and this machine can be challenging to set up. I bought mine at Michaels and lived to regret it.

The tags are tied to the bag with a twist tie and some fiber. They can  be used as bookmarks after.

These are easy enough to do, and obviously, they are not limited to Christmas or holiday craft projects.  I can see Bunny Poop for Easter,  Cupid Poop for Valentines Day, Pumpkin Poop for Halloween as Kerry did, etc.  Here’s another thought. If your community has a mascot or a theme, Your Mascot Poop would be fun. For example, Harrison Hot Springs, a couple of hours east of Vancouver, has a Sasquatch mascot. Apparently there are a lot of Sasquatch sitings in the area. :-)    Sasquatch Poop would be fun!

Is it any wonder I love crafting!

This is a obscene! Why would anyone want to promote scatological humor for Christmas. It is a holy day not Saturday Night Live.

admin Says:

Obscene? Well okay, if you say so. It’s a long way from my idea of obscenity however. LOL

John-James Says:

That is a really clever idea, I’m going to get my kids to try this!
