Martha Stewart Countdown #49 Tinsel Snowflakes

Ya know. Everyone loves snowflakes! I know I do! When I was a little bitty baby girl I remember sitting in my room trying to fold paper and cut in certain spots to make them. Never turned out like I wanted. I think it’s time I try again. Maybe that will be in another post! But today we are making affordable fun crafts to add to your Christmas tree! Martha Stewart even has the template for you to use!

Tinsel isn’t just for sprinkling on an evergreen tree. Try creating this sparkling ornament to brighten any room.This tinsel glitter is so amazing. It totally reminds me of vintage crafts. You just don’t see tinsel anymore! But Martha Stewart is bringing it back {to the bottom of the map}…

Using a utility knife, cut out the snowflake shape. From this  template.

 Using a medium paintbrush, coat one side of shape with craft glue or use the tip of the glitter glue.

I used Martha Stewart’s tinsel glitter.

This is what they should look like after you cut them out.

Sprinkle with tinsel glitter. Let glue dry; shake off excess glitter. It’s already looking crazy pretty RIGHT!

Listen! I wanna design a snowflake line. I would make the best ornaments ever! Of course I would use tinsel glitter {{teehee}}

I want to eat one. They just look like something that would feel so good in my belly right now!

It’s little baby decorations  I swear I can’t type all of these blogs fast enough to show you everything I want at one time! Guess that means you will have to come back!!!

Martha Stewart Countdown #45 Card Garland

You all know I love garlands! I am still trying to figure out why I love them so much. It might be the fact that they dress up a room in NO time at all! Yeah I think that’s it. Maybe it’s because they are fun to do! Yeah that too! {{teehee}}…

This weekend flew by I tell ya! But I couldn’t help myself with this cute garland. I know everyone is starting to decorate for Christmas and I know someone out there will love this! Keep your mind open with this craft. You can use the same color or the same family of colors. You can make a garland for your Christmas tree or just hang it on something to add some flava flave to your space! Either way this will be a winner in your home and you can say YOU MADE IT!

Use craft punches (or trace a round object and cut out). Attach to heavy thread with stickers; rub with craft stick to secure.  If you really don’t want to do this craft from start to finish you could cheat a little and buy the dot’s!

How pretty is this garland!

So pretty! Remember my stained glass curtain tutorial? I hope you enjoyed this craft and can’t wait to see your pictures! Just email them to me!!

Going cook chicken and stare at my garland, jaderbomb

I know I posted earlier today but I just had to share with you this really cool idea. One of my friends texted me the other day to tell me an idea he had using scraps of wrapping paper.
Below is how regular tissue paper looks inside of a box….. BORING!!!

I already own a paper shredder so this was very convenient for me. The one below is from walmart and I only paid $10 for it! It’s only the top part of the shredder, so you have to get a trash can to put underneath it. Very affordable~
Remember if you don’t own a paper shredder you can still do this craft. You will put 2 or 3 pieces together and tear with your hands or use scissors to cut strips. Just create!

I wrap all of my presents with brown paper bags and decorate them myself. I figured I would add a little POP in the inside of the box since the outside is very bare. I have tons of colored paper all over my studio so I grabbed a couple of bright sheets to shred. If you don’t have colored paper remember you can use wrapping paper or anything else lying around. I tried doing construction paper and that worked great also.

Below is what it will look like if you use a shredder.

Just wanted to show you how it looks when you start adding more than one color!!!

How beautiful is this! You know you would love opening a present with all of this tucked away inside.

You can also use wrapping paper .

This is what it will look like!!! SO FUN~~

I hope you enjoyed this!
