Quick & EaSy...Last Minute Gift idea!

A FuN earring holder !

I've seen a ton of these floating around on the Web...and I've thought that they are sooo Stinkin' CuTe {and} functional.

To make this one...I found an old frame...{that my friend didn't want anymore :)} spray painted it...and rubbed stain {with a cloth}...over it. Then...bought fabric window screen @ Home Depot...and cut it to fit inside of frame...and used my trustee staple gun...to secure around the edge. Then...I found a scrap piece of ribbon and stapled to the top..and hot glued a flower on the bottom! Very Simple, CuTe and Inexpensive!

HaVe FuN!

Super C*U*T*E Snowman Donuts!

How FuN are these??!! I was sooo excited when I came across this idea @ A Little Tipsy...where she came across it @ Creative Gift & Party Ideas !

When I showed these to my daughter...she loved them...and wanted to take them for her school Christmas party. And...I was thinking... these would also be perfect for neighbor goody plates!

All I used was...mini powder sugar donuts...and frosting. Or...you could use...a carrot for the nose...and mini choc. chips. Either way... they would be AdoRaBle!

Personalized towel gift idea!

Here is a pic of another personalized towel that I made. This one is similar to the ones I made here...but instead of using fabric glue under the letters...I used strips of Stitch Witchery that I bought @ Walmart... ironed them on...and zig-zagged the edges. Then I added strips of ribbon on both ends of towel...and stitched those edges. I bought this towel @ Target for {i think} $4.99...and I already had ribbon and fabric...so I think total cost of this gift was about $6!

SuPer EaSy...and SuPer CuTe!!

Popsicle Stick Sled Ornament!

Start off with 7 Popsicle sticks...
Cut all but 2 to the same dimensions above. {I use tree pruning shears to cut mine.}


Cut scrapbook paper out with exact-o knife. {I have made some without paper...and they turned out CuTe too.}...

Mod Podge the paper to the sticks...

Turn the sticks face down and glue the 2 sticks that go across...

then glue your bottom sticks on...

then when dry...flip your sled over and glue on your header stick...

then...when dry...flip sled back over...and glue some jute for the handle!

And there you have it!!!

These are really fun to make. They would be a blast to make with your kiddos!! One year I made these and used them instead of tags for all of my Christmas presents. {when I had a little more time :) } I just wrote on the sled with a perm. marker! Also... I have learned that you could use hot glue if you want...but when I went to get my ornaments out the following year...they didn't stay glued. Sooo...I use clear Tacky Glue instead.

HaVe FuN!!
