These snowmen are made out of regular white school glue. The glue is squeezed out on to wax paper, and decorated with beads, bits of paper, and small pieces of fabric. After the snowmen are allowed to dry for about two days, they peel easily off from the wax paper. They can be attached to a ribbon, as shown below, to become a cute snowman garland.

Glitter Christmas Ornaments

I know I was. You can use Pledge floor wax, glitter, and glass ball ornaments to make beautiful ornaments with little to no mess. I've seen this on several different blogs and on Pinterest. I first came across this idea on Green Bean's Crafterole. A few weeks ago, I bought some Martha Stewart glitter, so I had to give this a try.

All you need is a bottle of Pledge Future liquid floor wax, glitter, glass ball ornaments, and a funnel. Pour about a tablespoon of Future into an ornament. Using a funnel, pour glitter into the ornament. Holding your thumb over the hole, shake the ornament so that the glitter covers the entire surface. Tap the ornament and pour the excess glitter back into the bottle. Let it dry and insert hanger. Sock Snowman. Here's another quick and easy idea for Christmas.

Easy pieced wreath: free pattern and tutorial. We've been dying to use our fabric stash to make a festive wreath.

Easy pieced wreath: free pattern and tutorial

We looked at many methods, including tying fabric strips to a wire frame, but we were put off by these words of wisdom: "You will tie and tie for days and days".... and: "I got blisters on my fingers from the fabric when I tied it" (see where beauty meets function). So we asked ourselves: why not stitch the strips together, then simply wrap them around the wreath? After some trial and error we came up with this easy pattern that produces a beautiful, full wreath. The bow is built in, and the wreath itself can be re-used (the fabric strips can be removed for storage !) This wreath has fabric all the way around, so it can be admired from both sides of a glass door. It also looks great on the front door: SCRaPPY CaNuCK STuDioS.

Felt Christmas tree Template and DIY · Felting. Dec. Felt Christmas Trees. Felt Christmas Trees I wanted to make four felt Christmas trees, one for each member of our family. These trees are very easy to make and cost about 30 cents each. They are also so much fun because you can make many different versions and you can even let your kids help you decorate them. These are generally based off of this pom pom felt flower that I love to make. First you need to make cardboard cones. Next, you need to make a lot of felt "leaves" (like the pom pom flowers).
