The Perfect Gift: Yarn Ball Bookmark. Created by Jane from See Jane Blog . Edited by Amy Christie. Has the weather turned cold where you live? In my neighborhood, temperatures have dropped and my instincts are to spend the day cozied up with a favorite book and favorite mug full of hot cocoa. Are you the same? I’m sure you have many fellow book worms in your neighborhood, so I thought it would be fun to create a charming little bookmark that would make a great anytime gift for anyone that needs a little fall comfort. It was actually my daughter’s clever idea to make yarn pom pom balls in the style of a bookmark.

This is the perfect anytime gift because it’s affordable, easy to make, and turns out a fluffy ball of cuteness. Supplies: -yarn -scissors That’s it! *Before you start, cut an 8-10 inch piece of yarn and a 15 inch piece of yarn and set it aside. To start, hold the end of the yarn in your hand, and begin wrapping the yarn around your fingers – snug but not too tight. Voila! P.S. — We love making gifts! Candy Jar Craft for leftover Halloween candy using caulk and a little creativity | Tween Crafts - Connecting Mom and Daughter through crafting. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our mailing list. Thanks for visiting! There are many things you can do with all of the Halloween candy that is inevitably in your house right now.

I know number one thought is to eat it, right? I don’t know about you, I need to actually get it out of the house so I don’t eat it! I want to still be able to fit into my clothes for the holidays. = ) You can donate it. Another idea is to get crafty and gift some of it. I tried two different candy jar ideas using caulk – an owl decorated jar for all you fellow owl-obsessed crafters… …and a cute cupcake jar that looks pretty enough to eat. For the owl candy jar, I used a pint sized mason jar.

I laid the mason jar on its side so it was easier to work with. Then I pressed in the two large googly eyes, and started attaching the pine cone pieces on each side for the wing feathers. My daughter’s favorite candy right now is the Kit Kat. Happy crafting! The following two tabs change content below. Page corner bookmarks. This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM. I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads.

But what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks. Placeholders special enough for the books that are special enough to remain in your culled-out-of-spacial-necessity collection. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. Corner bookmarks are where it’s at. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley. For the monster-loving adults in the room, try some googly-eyed paper monster wine charms. What you’ll need: Putting it all together: Kids Craft | Here We Are Together.
