Harold, Nomi, Zander, Marasu, Alfie, and Icso are preparing to attend 12 tangle parties to celebrate the 2024 Twelve Days of Zentangle.
Each day the elves decide what to bring to these most festive affairs. Look closely in the picture each day to see if you can find all the items they brought. (They do seem to move things around!)
On this Fifth Day of Zentangle, Alfie is bringing a party hat, a feather, a notepad, a pumpkin, and a thimble!
Can you find where Alfie put them?
Welcome to Zentangle Project Pack No. 25 and the fifth day of the 2024 Twelve Days of Zentangle!
In our practice of drawing with the Zentangle Method, we build compositions using patterns we call tangles. In the beginning, we learn basic tangles and then we progress by learning new techniques, more complex tangles, and variations to basic tangles.
In Project Pack No. 24, we paid homage to the technique of “Aura.” In this project pack , we take a deep dive into "drawing behind" which plays an integral role in how we teach many of our tangles. We guide you through a journey of depth and dimension. In this adventure we explore shadows and traverse our tangled compositions adding highlights. Join us on this multi-dimensional tangled adventure!
Tangle along with Molly and Martha as they guide you through the fifth lesson in this series.
Please share your creations on the Zentangle Mosaic App using the hashtags:
#PP25
#PP25Day05 and
#12DaysofZentangle2024.
In this series, we use the materials in Zentangle Project Pack No. 25. If you do not have these materials, we encourage you to follow along with whatever you have at home.
Leave us your thoughts in a comment below and each day, we will pick one commenter at random to receive a Zentangle surprise. We will announce all the winners on the last day!

I am delighted that the Christmas elves from Zentangle are growing in number step by step. Just like the CZTs.

20 years ago, my husband, 2 boys and I spent a summer with our Aunt in Wayland, Ma. I had recently ran across Zentangle and I found it was ‘born’ in Massachusetts, so knowing I would be in Ma that summer, I looked for an instructor. I found one in Worchester. For the life of me, I can not remember her name but she was amazing. She was taking a break that summer but knowing I was coming in from Missouri, she invited me to her home and held a special class just for me. That afternoon changed my life! I carry my own curated zentangle “kit” with me every where I go, for you never know when inspiration will hit. I love that I can do a tangle and it will make me think of memories… like learning poke leaf while sitting in a hotel in Pa. I see tangles every where I go. The art deco display at The Art Institute of Chicago.. the pattern on the cloth in a booth at a local restaurant. I have purchased every Project Pack, they are amazing and I love that even with 20 years of tangling, there is always something more and exciting to learn. Thank you all for making such a huge impact in my life. Wishing all of you a safe, warm and Happy Holidays!
