Crafts I can now show you!

Now that Christmas is over I can show you a couple of crafts that were made for some readers of my blog.  :)

We had Liam over for a night alone before Christmas.  While he was over we made some gifts for his parents and relatives on his Dad's side of the family.  I came across a cute idea for preschoolers on the net that would be fast and easy and usable.  Perfect, in other words!

Here he is proudly showing off a few of the candles:



So easy folks.  Spread glue over the inside of a votive holder, pour in glitter and shake it all around (that was the really messy part), let dry, then add some decorative jewels (Liams idea) and a tea light.



I made a couple of little wallets for my daughter and daughter-in-law.  Another fast and easy project.  The pattern is from Lazy Girl Designs and called Wonder Wallet.


There are 4 pockets inside.  It's only slightly bigger than a credit card or your drivers license.  Nice gift to quick make and tuck a gift card in.


I'll have to show you some cool things that were made for me in a future blog post.  Such talented and creative people out there.
