Christmas Ornament Party Plates

So easy!  Round napkin rings become ornament hangers. 😉 Turn your plates into Christmas ornaments for your Christmas party.  I used plastic plates instead of paper for this project.  I thought the plastic would hold up better with the weight of the napkin rings.

GIANT Christmas Card

This giant Christmas card is fun to give collectively from a group... from grandchildren to grandparents, from students to a teacher, employees to their boss, etc.  The finished folded card measures 14"x19" with lots of room inside for signatures from the entire group.  I think this just might be my favorite project of the year! 😄

Mini Dome Recycled Ornament

Trash to treasure!  I just love to use recycled items to create something new and beautiful!  You won't believe what I used to create this little mini dome ornament for the tree.  Get Craftie and see what you can come up with to put inside your dome.  I created a tiny 3/4" gift package and added a stocking Dress-It-Up Button.  I think the Dress-It-Up Buttons are a great choice for this tiny dome and they come in so many options.  You could do just about any theme using those.

Santa & Elf Hats Napkin Folding

How fun!  These Santa or Elf Hats are super cute and super quick and easy.  They're the perfect "extra touch" to add a little bit of fun and whimsy to your Christmas party!  On the green hat is shown my "wadded napkin" version of the pom pom on the hat.  But for those of you who can't stand the thought of setting the table with wadded napkins, I used craft pom poms for the other two.  You could also use a cotton ball.  Whichever you decide to use, your table will be festive indeed!

Punch Art Snowman

It was so easy and so much fun creating this snowman.  You can use punched or die cut shapes.  I used mostly die cuts, but you use whatever you have.  I think this little guy is just adorable.

Clear Gift Tag Ornaments

Per viewer request, I created an ornament version of my clear gift tags.  I think these are adorable.  Thank you so much Doilyswan!  They make wonderful ornaments!  OR You could also use them as ornament-shaped gift tags.  I also think these would make cute ornaments for a Scrapbook layout.  Lots of possibilites!

Christmas Lamp Post Home Decor

I made this beautiful Christmas Lamp Post with Dollar Tree items, thrift store finds, and salvaged materials.  I love lighted decor, especially at Christmas time and this one is gorgeous and very inexpensive to put together.  It also goes together pretty quickly.  This is definitely one of my new favorites.

Gumball Gift-in-a-Jar

Make this cute and whimsical treat for just over $3!  This makes a great quick and easy gift for children using Dollar Tree items.  Don't forget to salvage a red lid from peanut butter and a small one from milk.  I think the kids will really enjoy a gift-in-a-jar treat of their own.  Who says only adults enjoy getting gift-in-a-jar treats for Christmas?!  Or maybe even for a child's birthday?  Any occasion really.

Alternative Blending Medium for Colored Pencils

I found a much cheaper alternative for blending colored pencils!  Colored pencils have always been my choice of coloring medium.  However, I was never happy with the "scratchy" look that was left on the finished piece.  By blending with this "solution", using paper blending stumps, I'm able to get a very smooth and blended result.

Punch Art Reindeer

Did you think I was done with the egg shaped dies??  I'm not!!  Here's another use for them in this adorable Christmas Reindeer.  I used leaf shaped die cuts for his ears and branches for his antlers.  I think the ovals for his eyes help to give him a lot of character.  You could use round die cuts if you like, or even googly eyes would be cute.  I used an oval rhinestone for his nose but you could also use an oval die cut or punch.  The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.  Get Craftie and see shat other ideas you can come up with for a punch art reindeer.

Apple Table Setting

Here's another super-simple table setting for you.  I think this cute little apple would be cute for a dessert table for Thanksgiving or any Fall gathering.  Even use these at Halloween for a "bobbing for apples" vibe.  These would be great for a Farm or Country theme.  You could even add in some green and yellow ones for different varieties of apples.  They would be perfect for teachers, or any school-themed occasion.  You could use these for any party theme that showcased an apple in its storyline, such as Snow White, Twilight, etc.  Let me know what theme you would use an apple with.

Frankenstein Bead Charm

Another last minute Halloween project for you!  I had so much fun creating this Frankenstein Bead Charm!  The bead cap I used for his hair was the inspiration for the whole thing.  When I saw that jaggedy edge, all I could see was Frankenstein's hair so I had to bring him to life, and...  IT'S ALIVE!   He's now the most adorable little Halloween character ever! and a great accessory. ❤💚

Mermaid Tail Bead Charms

Two simple beads are all you need to create a little magic!  Together, a sea shell and a teardrop become a mermaid tail!  I just used simple, inexpensive beads.  The teardrops are a beautiful, super shiny "Miracle" finish which gives these charms their mermaid look.  The sea shells are simple, plastic children's beads.  They make the perfect fins for my mermaid tail.

Pumpkin Table Setting

It doesn't get any simpler than this for your Fall table setting!  This pumpkin table setting is super cute and fun for Halloween, Thanksgiving, or any Fall gathering!  All I did was use an oval paper plate in orange as the pumpkin, placed a green napkin behind as the stem and added a curling ribbon "vine".  You could also use gold, white, yellow, green...  any color of pumpkin or squash you can think of would look cute.

Halloween Soup Gift-in-a-Jar (Vegetarian option)

And so begins gift-in-a-jar season!  Happy Fall!  I've created a gift-in-a-jar mix especially with Halloween in mind: Halloween Soup!  Both the presentation and the cooked soup have a mainly orange, black, and green color to really give it a Halloweeny look.  But, it's not just pretty to look at.  I think this soup is delicious and it's very healthy.  

So, if you're invited to a Fall Festival, costume party, or other Halloween celebration, don't show up empty-handed.  Take your host/ess a jar of Halloween Soup mix.  I think they'll really like it.

Punch Art Christmas Trees

You can create super-simple Christmas trees using only circles and a star.  I also ran my die cut circles through my Cuttlebug with a snowflake patterned embossing folder to add a little detail and then did an ink dragging technique to accentuate the embossing.  You could also use a pretty patterned paper.  A simple star punch adds just the touch it needs to turn an ordinary tree into a Christmas tree!

Penguin Bead Charm

This adorable little penguin is the perfect Winter accessory!  You can turn this into earrings, a necklace pendant, purse charm, etc..  Anything you decide!

When I was browsing online and found these 10mm black and white beads, I knew immediately that they were crying to become penguins!  So I began my search for what else was needed to make their dreams a reality.  Then I found the orange wavy disc beads and that was it!  A penguin was born.  I just love this little guy! ❤
