Final Installment of Craft Day - Glitter Ornaments

With the Christmas rush I forgot to post the 3rd craft from my Craft Day earlier in December.  We also made glitter ornaments, they were super easy and I found them here via Pinterest.  I don't know who was sitting around one day and thought "I wonder what happens if you swirl Mop n' Glo in an ornament and then put in some glitter?" But I do know it makes a very pretty ornament!

These aren't the best pictures but they are as good as it is gonna get this year since they are already packed away in the Christmas bins!

I have been toying with the idea of doing a craft day every month or every other month, Valentine's, Easter/Spring etc.  but in order to get everything crafted in time to display it for the holiday I would have to start thinking about Valentine's Day crafts now.  I always want to decorate my home for each holiday with cute handmade decorations but I always think about them too close to the holiday!  Maybe this is the year I will get my act together and get it done!

Today is the last day of 2011, there were times that I didn't think I would make it here!  I am hoping to post a Christmas re-cap and maybe a little about my hopes/plans/ideas for the new year, but that will have to wait until tomorrow!

Christmas Craft Day - Part 2

Yesterday I mentioned two other crafts we did at Craft Day, one of them was the beadboard candy cane.  Well here it is:

These aren't the best pictures because I can't seem to get the one I want to post to rotate and I gave up.  I got the idea from this blog. I don't know what I am going to do with the candy canes, I was going to hang one on the door but then I went and bought a very mis-shapen wreath at Costco.  Tomorrow if you are lucky I will share the glitter ornaments if Nalani and I get our bows tied on them.

Christmas Craft Day

I had a few friends over this past Sunday for a Christmas Craft Day.  We made 3 different projects.  Today I am going to share the sock snowmen with you.  They were super easy, I got the idea off of Pinterest and it was from this blog.  So simple and cute!  I made a little family of 4 and then I also made 10 more for gifts for teachers, neighbors and friends.

I went with a bright color theme for my snowmen and then used more traditional red & green for the gift ones.

Trevor felt sad for all of the leftover parts of socks so he got crafty also, he made a hobo snowball with the castoffs.

You can't see that the back of the hat (the heel of a sock) is all cut up and he plans to add a burlap sack to the stick!  Next up are the beadboard candy canes and glitter ornaments, it will probably be February before I blog about those!
