Embellished Tile Coasters Sandy writes… Last year when I invited my Balcony Girls into my home, our craft for the day was to make coasters for the holidays. I even got in on the fun myself, and made of list of which friends to give to at Christmas. The process is so easy! The craft began as we created stamped coasters Using these supplies3 ¾” x 3 ¾” unglazed tile Rubber stamps and ink pads Felt or cork (sticky sided) Spray fixative/varnish The cost per tile was 32 cents from Lowes.
We made fun designs Spraying, drying and putting 4 felt squares on the bottom All tied up, ready to give away! I asked my Balcony Girls to think of grandparents, teachers, music teachers, a neighbor – to keep in mind who they’d want to give this gift to at Christmas! What I love about homemade gifts is the love that goes into them. Giving is a beautiful thing. Welcome, StumbleUpon visitor!
Christmas Tree. Salt Dough Ornaments. The holidays have officially begun. As we countdown to Christmas I’ll be sharing some of my favorite holiday decorations, crafts, and gift ideas. To start us off Bread Dough Ornaments from Stephanie of even*cleveland. So cute, I can’t wait to try. Thanks for sharing Stephanie! P.s. for christmas 2010 Stephanie made these stamped salt dough ornaments. So beautiful and easy! Salt dough ornaments are an easy holiday craft that everyone can do, and you can make them as simple or as complicated as you like. Step 1. Step 2. For the gnomes, I used food coloring to dye some dough red for hats and jackets – this was EXTREMELY messy, so I would recommend wearing latex gloves if you mix in the color by hand, and rolling out any dyed dough between two sheets of wax paper to protect your counter and rolling pin.
Once the ornaments are formed, poke them with a bamboo skewer to make holes to hang them from. Step 3. Happy holidays! Related Post:Macaroni SnowflakesDiy: Icicle Chandelier share. Visors.

Especially when that nasty gremlins try to creep in and stump me. I remembered this origami star video on You Tube and had to get them involved in my plan. I thought it would be fun to make a whole bunch with kind words and “you are….” phrases inside.
I made 60 of them, enough to last me the whole year if I open one a week, plus a few extra just in case. I used 12 x 12 inch scrapbook paper and cut 1/2 x 12″ strips, then followed the video HERE*. I put them all in a little jar and prettied it up. *UPDATE! Be Sociable, Share! Sand Painting.
