depend on what you want to do, but it does not have to be very large, for
example 20cm x 20cm. Once you have your square ready, draw a face with

too, the rest will be the fruit of your imagination. Paint your face with
colors, you can choose as many as you want. To do this you must use
finger paint or tempera. Finally, glue the wooden clothes press hook and
you will have a coat rack. To stick it on the wall, you can nail it (To do this,

After fasting, Esther appears before the King without
having been summoned. She found grace in the King's
eyes and extended the scepter to him. This allowed
Esther to carry out her plan to save the Jews, inviting the
King and Haman to a banquet. When we trust in our God
and ask him from the bottom of our hearts for his
protection, he sends us his angels to defend and protect us. Nothing bad will

punished and those who remained faithful were
exalted. Mordecai became the second after King
Ahasuerus, he was very loved for seeking the well-being
of his people and peace in general. If, as children of the
Church, we remain obedient to our parents and
teachers and fulfill the Word of God, we will receive a

We will start by cutting out the base
of the ornament, where you can use
a template but it is recommended
that to make the hole where it will be
hung you first measure it with the
door handle.
Next you will have to cut out a circle of the skin color to make the character's
face, it is hooked at the bottom of the base.
We will cut out and glue a small oval of the same color in the center to make
the nose, and then attach the eyes and use yarn to make the hair.
With a small strip of red yarn we can place the mouth. Then draw and cut out
the child's name at the top and we will have this Door Hanger Craft with
