As promised I am starting to share some of the crafty things I made for 'A Night in Bethlehem' event. We are going to have a floor seating area with mats, rugs and cushions and I wanted to have a fire in the middle of it but obviously for health and safety reasons I couldn't have a real fire. I started with an almost round circle of cardboard which I then painted black. Next I made some rocks by crumpling brown paper and coating them in a pva/water mix. Once these were dry, I then painted them grey and stuck around the edge of the fire base. Next I needed some logs. I cut some strips of cardboard and rolled them up. I used 3 layers of strips for each log. I then painted the logs brown. To complete the fire I used some red, orange and yellow tissue paper to make flames and added the logs.

Starting a fire is not as simple as you think it is. I know a lot of people who do not think that fires are scary, but they are also the ones who are really reckless. Sure, you might think that starting a fire is good or cute, but I know for a fact that they are not. I have lived as a firefighter for far too long to deal with this kind of things. I hope that we all become more careful.
