I made a faux Fireplace out of paper grocery bags. I cut the bags open, along the seam, and cut off the bottom. Tape them together soyou have a giant Rectangle. Use a rectangle sponge dipped into red paint to make bricks,and draw a log and grate in the middle. Use something for fire, I used aluminum foil painted orange w/ gold glitter. I included a picture

Thanks! We live ina an apartment, and have no fireplace...... I always had one growing up, even though it was fake in my first house, lol. I don't have kids yet, (even though I was due for one the 15th. grrr) but I figured this would be an interesting idea for those with kids and no fireplace to help with the santa coming in explanation. Another idea is the magic Santa key..... I don't remember the website I got it from but I have a picture with a poem. I don'tknow if I am allowed toput it in here w/o knowing where it came from? Let me know and I will! =)
