Place Cards

So I have a really bad headache tonight and I almost didn't do my project. I know it's bad, but I did it anyways!! I used some scrapbook paper and then used glitter glue to make the holly. I wrote my name on it and then put it in a cinnamon stick. That was the most difficult part because the paper weighs more than the cinnamon stick does. I had to use some tape to keep it from falling forward and backward, but it looks so cute! If you need an idea on how to make place cards, I hope you remember this idea! It's cheap and easy and you can use any type of decoration you want on the cards!

(Just a reminder, make sure the glitter glue dries before you put it in the stick and set it upright. Some of my glue started dripping!)

Check back tomorrow for another completed project!!!

Stocking

You have no idea how difficult it was to find a plain stocking! I didn't want a cheap looking one, and I didn't want to have to special order one. I was in Michael's craft store today and stumbled upon the last one! Thank goodness I got it because I have been wanting to do a stocking since the beginning of my blog! I had to make some adjustments because I kind of messed up, but I think it turned out really cute!  I used glitter glue and smudged it with a paper towel on the top green part. Then I glued some snowflakes to the green part and added a red ribbon near the bottom. I glued some jingle bells right under the ribbon and then added the big snowflake in the middle of the stocking. Of course you can use any type of decorations and even sew on names. I'm not quite that crafty yet so I kept mine simple! I hope you enjoy!

Christmas Sugar

I had the hardest time figuring out what I was going to make tonight. Once I figured it out, it turned out to be really cute! My parents bought some colored sugar a while back and I just mixed it together. I took some red, green, and white sugar and mixed it in a sugar bowl. It tastes just like normal sugar and this will be a great way to decorate cookies or use as a table display. I hope you like it!

Poinsettia Napkin Rings

Tonight's project was so easy and cute, I'm thinking of making more so I can use them for Christmas parties. I made poinsettia napkin rings with a paper towel roll, felt, and poinsettia brads (I got them from Hobby Lobby for really cheap!) I cut the paper towel roll to a size that I liked and then wrapped it with felt. I used super glue to keep the felt on the paper towel roll, and then poked a hole on the top of the ring to insert the poinsettia brad. It was so simple, I finished the project in less than 5 minutes! Of course, you can use different colored felt and a different type of decoration. I really hope you remember these napkin rings when decorating for your party!

Holiday Trail Mix

So if you hadn't already noticed, I didn't do a project yesterday. I know I should have, but I was busy spending time with my friends! Tonight I made Holiday Trail Mix. I used a smaller package of Trail Mix, a package of M&M's and some dried cranberries. I mixed it all together and put it in a cute snowflake bowl. This will be a cute snack to set out at holiday parties for guests to eat. You can make your own versions of trail mix by adding different ingredients. Some other ideas for ingredients could be nuts, raisins, cereal, or jelly beans. I hope you think of this snack when setting up for your next Christmas Party!

Present Decorations

Tonight's project was simple and fun. Instead of using store bought bows, just use some tulle and make your own bows. It's very simple, just like tying a shoelace, and you can add different decorations to the ribbon to spruce up your presents. I used candy canes, jingle bells, and ornaments. Any type of decoration will work though! You can even use thicker ribbon to tie the bows and hot glue some holly or other decorations to the presents.

Check back tomorrow for another completed project!

Pecan Pie

I decided to make a pecan pie tonight! It's really easy, and I'm not the greatest cook, but the finished product tastes amazing! If you would like the recipe just let me know, it's a family recipe that I don't want just floating around the internet! haha. If you decide to make the pie, please let me know how it tastes! I hope you enjoy!
