Beach Ornaments- this was the first time for my friend's children to visit the ocean during our Disney trip. I collected sand and mini shells from the beach and placed them in plastic ornaments, added a light blue ribbon and tag with the name of the beach and the year.
Wedding Ornament- I attended 6 weddings this past year and for the 7th one I could not attend I took their wedding invite and cut it into strips and then curled them. I slip them into an extra large plastic ornament and added the ribbon from their invite for the top. It turned out great I might do this for every wedding I attend from now on.
No Sew-Fleece Blankets- I made 3 small blankets this year for the dogs. To make you need to fabrics laying on top of each other. Cut about a 2.5 x 2.5 inch square from each corner (this is so your blanket does not round or bunch during tying) then starting on one side you cut 1inch wide by 2.5-3inch long strips all the way down each side. Once done finish with tying the blankets together and voila.
Snowman Envelope- I used a strip of white paper and my Martha Stewart scoreboard to score the paper so it folded like a matchbook. I added the eyes using buttons, paper made hat, paper made nose and used my Martha Stewart holly punch. Then I attached a mini plastic bag and added kisses to the bag.
Rudolph Hershey's- wrapped a brown piece of card stock around the candy bar. Attached 2 google eyes, a red circle nose, and hand cut lite brown card stock antlers.
Melted Snowman Ornament- I used a large size clear plastic ornament and filled it with Epsom salt. I then added 5 peppercorns for the buttons and eyes. I fortunately had a carrot nose button in my scrap booking supplies and a top hat button. I added a Christmas plaid ribbon to the top and it was finished.
Santa-tizer- I wrapped a red card stock around the body of a Sanitizer bottle. Then added a 1/2 black ribbon around it and added a gold square over top of that.
Salt Dough Puzzle Piece Ornament- I used 1 cup of salt, 2 cups of all purpose flour, and 1 cup of Luke warm water. First you mix the dry and then added the water. After I kneaded the dough well I added liquid blue food coloring to make it blue, kneading the dough really well. I then rolled the dough out using flour and cut the puzzle pieces with a cookie cutter. I placed the cut outs on a cookie tray and cut out a hole using a straw. I baked the cut outs for 5 hours at 200F. I then set them out for a week to dry.
OSU Crayon Art- I downloaded an art piece for the O-H-I-O silhouettes and used a projector to make them the size I want. I then used a pencil to draw them on the canvas. Next I created a pattern of the crayons to achieve the effects I wanted and used Elmer's glue to attach them. I always break my crayons in half. I placed painter's tape over the top of the pencil drawing and melted the crayons. Next I painted the silhouettes black and it was finished.
Disney Shadow Box- created a 12x12 scrapbook page and placed it in a shadow box for a friend that went to Disney.
DG Shadow Box- my sister is a Delta Gamma and wanted to preserve the lay and rose she received for initiation. I placed them in a shadow box with her letters and symbol.
