Ribbon Star Ornaments

Up the elegance of this year’s Christmas tree with beautiful celestial ornaments like these hand-tied ribbon stars. If you wanna spice up your tree or your gift bags then you have to do this craft! When I tell you this sucker is so easy your kids could do it and make a ba-jillion of them!

The secret to making these simple stars: Tie all the knots in the same direction.

Grab some ribbon…

Do the same movements you would do if you were making a knot…

See this is how it will look…

Repeat 5 times, adjusting each new knot so its bottom left touches the bottom right of the previous. Trim ribbon ends…

This is the one I made with bright yellow ribbon. I hope you enjoyed this crafteroo!!!

Shimmering Stacked Trees

Happy (whatever day it is) Jaderbugs! I am in love with using paper this holiday season. I hope you love this craft as much as I do! This shimmering stacked tree will add a festive — and eco-friendly — touch to your home this holiday season. These magnificent trees can also be stacked using any leftover aluminum foil, felt, or crepe paper. {I used an old magazine)

I used a piece of wood, skewer, scissors, spray adhesive and glitter. Yep, that’s it!

Grab some magazines and cut out:

-6 by 6 inches
-5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches
-5 by 5 inches
-4 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches
-4 by 4 inches
-3 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches
-3 by 3 inches
-2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches
-2 by 2 inches
-1 1/2 by 1/2 inch

Get a skewer or whatever you want to stick the paper on.

I drilled a hold into my wood so it woud be sturdy.

After I cut all of my pieces out I folded them into fours so I can see where my center is.

Then start sliding them onto the wood!

When you are done it should start to look like this!

I used adhesive spray, and glitter.

After you finish stacking spray a good amount of adhesive spray onto the tree.

I really just had fun with this sucker! I wanted it to look like a cotton candy Christmas tree…

And it does!!! It looks prettier in person I tell ya! Remember the magazine tree I did here? I hope you have fun doing this!

Going pick up glitter in my studio, jaderbomb

DIY: Star Biscuits

Good morning jaderbugs! It’s almost 3 am and I wanted to share this with you before I went to bed! I want to start off by saying how GOOD it feels to write DIY in front of my title. You know it’s been almost 100 days since I did original “jaderbomb” things. I wouldn’t change anything but I can’t lie and say that I don’t miss ME! {{haha}}. Enjoy this little craft with dough. It thought it was so cute! We did this the other morning and little one loved it!

Sorry if my cookie cutter looks “rusty” HAHA! I swear it’s clean. We will call it VINTAGE…{it really is old though}}

After you cut them out place them on a lined baking sheet. I spray pam so make sure those suckers don’t stick!

This is what you will get! How cute! I thought you would be able to add this to your list of “things to do that are fun this holiday season thanks to jaderbomb” list.

Going to dreamland, jaderbomb

Flag Streamers

Seriously! Nothing pulls a party together like a motif and a vibrant palette. We can’t forget about paper flags! I love putting these babies up for parties. I have even seen some people do them for weddings and baby showers. I promise, you can find something to use these for! Here is the template for the flag. Oh, and the thing I like best about these paper flags is the fact that you can throw them away when you are done. {{or save them}}………Just throwing that out there for ya!

Material you will need: Paper, Scissors and Twine.

You want to get your handy dandy Martha Stewart scoring board. I LOVE THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC!!

After you cut out your template (which I listed above) trace it onto whatever paper you want to use. I wanted a original “red and green” flag!

After you cut out the flag take a couple and make lines in them using the scoring board. I didn’t follow a certain pattern I just kinda put lines wherever I felt like it.

As you can see I didn’t follow a certain pattern. Jaderbomb doesn’t use patterns. HAHA

Get your glue gun. I used my dual temperatured one from Martha Stewart because, well….this is why {{ the dual-temperature glue gun allows you to change the setting to fit your materials. Switch it on high for a stronger bond that is best used with wood, plastic, metal, ceramics, magnets, leather, and fabric. Set it to low for more delicate materials such as lace, foil, ribbon, floral foam and lightweight fabric, or paper}} NOW DO YOU SEE HOW AWESOME THIS BABY IS… MIGHT PUT THIS IN MY NEXT GIVEAWAY!

I love this bakers twine.

Place a bead of glue on the top of your flag and quickly put your twine on top of it.

This is what your end result is {{{yayyyy}}} I LOVE FLAGS! My world I live in is one big party so I am always dressed to the occasion. Have fun with this. You could totally put glitter all over these babies, or stickers, or layers of different colors of flags on top of each other. Yayyyy I wanna make more just talking about it!!!

Wanted to share with you the candle burning in my house right now. YOU have to get this one because it smells SOOOO good! I have many more to try out so stay tuned for my thoughts on them! You can order one HERE! AND THEY ARE 2 FR 25$ RIGHT NOW!

House smelling like a wonderful forest in winter, jaderbomb

MARTHA STEWART PAPER TRIMMER GIVEAWAY!!!!

Hey Jaderbugs! I am finally having my giveaway. I have to tell you I honestly forgot about this baby! I have so much going on and everyday it seemed like I kept saying I will do it today, I will do it today. WELL TODAY IS THAT DAY {{wahoooo}}. I could not wait to do this one because what I am giving away is so amazing! When I was a guest on the Martha Stewart show {click here if you didn’t see it} we used this in the segment and I could not believe how easy it was to use. I will keep the giveaway open for 1 week. Make sure you follow all of the rules below in order to win this baby!

Paper Trimmer & December Issue of Martha Stewart Living

Get a straight edge every time with this easy-to-use paper trimmer that includes both scoring and cutting blades. Cuts up to 12″ papers. The trimmer lets you score and cut in both directions, so it’s great for both right- and left-handed crafters. Here are just some reviews of this product

*I love this paper trimmer. After using several different brands I saw a friend using this one and fell in love with it. Been using it for over a year and no complaints yet.

*I have owned several paper cutters for my scrap-booking and Martha’s is far better than all that I have owned. Great products.

*This has been a wonderful purchase. I had some beautiful blank cards that did not have envelopes. I cut them to fit some I had and it was so easy. I have M.S and can’t cut very well with sissors, especially a straight line and now I can with ease!!!

Love this cutter and the package said replacement blades sold seperately so when I need to replace it I know I can.

Now do you see what I mean! I attached a video of my friend “FIGGY” demonstrating this awesome craft tool! He works for Martha and is the sweetest thing ever!

Champagne-Bottle Wrap

If you are looking to give someone a bottle of wine but can’t quite find the right “bag” to put it in then you need to start scrolling down! This wine bottle cover is absolutely adorable! It has just enough “POP” to it and boy would I love to get this! I actually wrapped mine around an empty bottle and I love the way it looks just by itself on the shelf!
