We don't have a fireplace, so how to hang
stockings? I just happened to have this wooden coat rack and painted
and glued the snowflakes on, voila! A stocking holder! |

I saw this idea at Craft Warehouse and thought
it was neat... fill the glass vase with potporri and clear lights.
The heat from the lights helps the potporri give out its scent.
(Hide the cord behind the vase and plug it in...) |

Journals with clay pens- like #11 & 13, except
this time I covered the journals with self-adhesive vinyl coverings
for more protection. |

This was a fun project... First, can you guess
what this bunny was made out of? Clay? No.... I'll give you a
hint... It's edible! This was made using Laffy Taffy candy. Work
them like you do with clay! The kids had a blast
pulling the taffy, tearing off its ear and head and eating it! |

Set of cards- here I cut
out pictures from the back of an old calendar, used them to make a
set of cards. Stack them up and tie a ribbon around it and give it
as a gift! This is easy to do, because then you can make a set of
cards with a favorite theme. This is better than just throwing out
your old calendars with all the pretty pictures! |

Horse Journal- Like number

Easy Wire Bracelet- Gather
different color of wires, bend in half and form a loop. Separate
wires into three sections to braid. Very easy to do- great for kids. |

2005 Journal- I covered the
composition book with pretty floral paper with strong glue and added
matching ribbon to it. Rolled a round pencil in matching floral
paper with strong glue, tied a ribbon to that, too. Added
embellishments to it. |

This is kinda hard to see,
but if you look closely, you'll see that the heart is embossed. What
I did was wet the cardstock, pat it dry, and put it on a mouse pad,
put a stamp of a heart on it and stepped on it for about 30 seconds,
then let it dry. I read this in one of the
Paper Craft Magazines. |

I was reading a Better
Homes and Gardens "Gifts to make" book when I came up with this
personalized jelly bean idea. I thought this was cute for a 4 year
old girl's birthday. Also see
Gift Bags
and Rubberstamping to see the
embossed heart tag. |

The heart and roses were made out of
clay. See Clay Projects. Made the mini
scrapbook page for Grandma, added the Metal Word "Grandma" inside
the frame, added some moss. A shadow Box frame was used. |

This idea came from
Pastry Whiz. Tied a recipe tag around it. This was fun to make.
I made these as gifts and I wonder how the cookies have turned
out... Good, I hope! |

I made the wire into a swirl and simply slided some
beads on to make this ornament. Very easy. Kids can do this! |

I found this snowman at
Michael's for only a dollar. I
had a old star candle holder and got a wooden platform and painted
that red and sprayed it with gloss. Painted some Snow-Tex on the
star candle holder and put them all together and voila! |
