The Skylanders party planning continues! I made the flame arrows for the Flameslinger Fire Element game mentioned
here. These were super easy, super fast, and I think the kids will LOVE them.
First, I assembled my supplies - 12 Dollar Tree suction-cup arrows and packs of metallic cellophane shreds in gold and red. Then it was time to fire up the glue gun. For each arrow, I used 4 gold and 4 red shreds and draped them over my fingers. I fiddled with the shreds to get it so that they were all different lengths and then pinched in the center and twisted a bit.
I wedged an arrow between the edge of the counter and my fancy and not at all unsightly "glue gun tray" and dispensed a blob of hot glue onto the arrow near the suction cup.
Working quickly, I applied the center of the twisted shreds to the glue and wrapped one side over and the other side on top and pulled them taut. Once the glue sets you are done.
They are stored in a bundle with a plastic bag on top to keep them from getting dusty. It took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. Not too shabby!
