Penguin Ornaments and Snowmen tags

Penguin Ornaments:


These penguin ornaments were from my stash of Christmas wrapping paper from last year.  When I retrieved some of my crafts out of the closet I saw the paper and thought how pretty the paper was and it would be stunning as a ornament.  


I starting cutting penguins from the paper and had cardboard templates that were rectangular and circular.  I glued down the paper on both sides of the cardboard template.  I finished with purple glitter on the border on the   penguin ornaments and took by hole punch at the top and strung a satin purple ribbon at the top.


Snowmen Tags:


I also had the cutest paper with snowmen and used it for gift tags.  I cut several  rectangular cardboard templates and glued down snowmen from the paper and smoothed out the paper.  I outlined the snowmen with white glitter glue and the other side added some touches of white glitter around the words.


I used my hole punch and added silver curling ribbon for the gift string.  I think these would be great for any kids that you have on your gift list.

Whimsical Wreaths, Large and small

 I made these adorable wreaths out of plastic bags, I think it took about 20 bags that I cut into 4" strips that I tied onto wire circles.  One is a 9" circle and the other one is 12".   I added some whimsical ornaments to each.    After putting all the plastic strips on, I draped silver cording and made a bow on the top for the large wreath.  The additional ornaments are my handmade ornaments that I painted myself and strung them in strategic places on the wreath.  For the small wreath I draped green curling ribbon for the bow.


 I have been so busy with Christmas crafts this year for some reason. I never had the itch before,  I just got the mood to start on crafts this year early and I have alot ideas of what I want to do next.  I hope you enjoy my crafts and I welcome any comments you have or any questions you might have on any craft you see.

Beautiful Felt Poinsetta's

Words can't describe these felt poinsettas that I made.  I keep looking at them and can't believe they are made from felt.  I got the printable from a site I belong to and cut the petals from the paper.  Then I trace them on cardboard to make templates.  The leaves on top are curled at the center and seed beads are  at the center of the poinsetta.  


On the white poinsetta I went around with red glitter glue making a dash pattern on the bigger flower and on the leaves I put the glitter glue on the edges of the curled edges.


On the red poinsetta I lined with silver glitter glue on the border on the leaves and the bigger flower. On the bigger poinsetta I used white tulip puffy paint at the border using a dash pattern at the border.

Adorable Trick or Treat Bags

This cute bag was made with felt and embellished with felt pieces that I glued on the bag.   I used two squares of orange felt and doubled stitched 3 sides of the two with black thread.  Then I took two pieces of black felt and doubled the length and joined them in the middle to make a handle longer.  I stitched them in the middle to join them as one.  Then at the sides I stitched the handled onto the inside of the bag.

I cut black triangles for the Jack o lantern face on one side.  Then I added silver glue glitter at the borders of the felt pieces.  This Jack o lantern is ready for Halloween. On the other side I added two felt pears and a pumpkin and added glitter for a sparkly effect and used tacky glue to adhere them on the bag.  My granddaughter will be so excited to get this bag for sure.
