Recycled Ornaments

Holiday cards make perfect ornaments: dazzling and delicate yet impossible to break. In a few steps, turn cards into darling globes or circles that lock together, ready to twirl. Or frame a snowy scene in a frosting of sparkles. To make the glitter ornament, cut out a circle from a card and punch a hole for string; add glue around the edge and sprinkle with glitter. Hang your new ornaments with card garlands for an enchanting tree. HOW UH-MAZING is that Jaderbugs! Little one brought home one of these and I thought it was the most clever idea. How awesome to be able to capture a moment in time and decorate with it FOREVER. Just think…You could have a big ole tree full of pictures. HAHA

These airy ornaments are a breeze to make.

You will need a hole puncher. I know before you give me any hassle these babies are amazing. They are like, 25 years old. I have been having them for as long as I remember.

Cut a card into narrow strips; you’ll need about eight to 20 pieces, depending on how much space you want between them.

I always number mine that way I don’t mix them up. OH and remember to keep your numbers at either the top or bottom that way they are all facing the right direction. Yep. Full of tricks. Don’t forget after you cut all of your slices to punch on EACH end with the hole puncher!

Get some good ole paper fastener’s.

Stack strips and punch holes through both ends with a hole punch (if the stack is too thick, do a few strips at a time); insert a paper fastener into each hole.

Now do you see what I mean. PRICELESS.

Wishing I was the cow jumping over the moon, or the sheep jumping the fence…

Cereal Box Organizer

OMG! It’s the 10th. I can’t believe it. I will write more about this LATER! When I saw this craft I thought. OMG! Practically free and a nice way to keep your magazines nice and neat. Do you know what I am talking about yet??? Hurry! Scroll down!!

Kids go through cereal fast. Make use of all the empty boxes by turning them into handy holders for their desks. Large boxes work well for books, small ones for supplies. Cut box with a utility knife at desired angle and height. Wrap decorative or contact paper around box to see how much you’ll need; unwrap; cut. Secure paper with double-sided tape; trim excess.

All of my products are made my Martha Stewart.

Jingle Bell Wreaths

Jingle BELL. Jingle BELL. {{just ONE}}.

You know I have ALWAYS wanted one of these door bell thingy’s. I just could not imaging paying close to 20 bucks for one. I know, I am cheap. I think I really just have a hard time paying for something I know I can make and prolly better. Let’s get started before I bring these bells to bed with me!

I got some fun glittery gold ribbon from Michaels.

Did you know I love BELLS. I love how bright and shiny they are AND how they make TON’S of noise.

Good ole trusty rusty wire. I tell ya Jaderbugs, this stuff comes in handy.

First thing you wanna do is do this loopy doopy on the end of the wire.

Next cut a piece long enough to work with. I think I cut WAY too much! Ha Ha

Start stringing your bells onto the trusty rusty wire. You bell should have a little loop on the top and you can just slide it through.

This is what you should get Jaderbugs!!! How pretty is it!

Finally I have a bell thingy on my outside door. I know. It’s like a 100 year old door. This door knob is SOOOO old they don’t even make it anymore. It actually has a slot for a handy dandy trusty rusty key. A REAL LIVE KEY. You know, a skeleton key!

Feeling dirty just talking about trusty rusty wire,

Ribbon Mobile

Use any ribbon you have on hand (ours are fabric) to make a mobile for hanging over a crib or changing table (well out of baby’s reach). Line the inside of one ring of a 13-inch embroidery hoop with double-sided tape. Fold ribbons over ring; press against tape. To hang, tie two 20-inch ribbons to opposite sides of hoop; hang from ceiling.

You know why I loved making this craft? BECAUSE I LOVE EVERY COLOR IN THE WORLD. I feel like everything around me expresses ME. I don’t have a tip top always perfectly put together house but you know what? WE LIVE IN IT! Oh my chichi wachi- I feel dizzy all of a sudden…think it’s from LACK of sleep? If so then here goes nothing:

Dear Sunday,

I can’t wait to meet you.

Jaderbomb.

I hope you dream about ribbons,

Magical Beans Mosaic

This magical bean mosaic is a wonderful activity for kids and adults to do together. I got so ~~aggravated~~ excited every time I saw beans hitting my studio floors. I didn’t know them suckers could BOUNCE! Fa reel! Then Ceaux Ceaux started eating them and all you heard coming from the floor was crunching and some little eyes looking up every now and then knowing she was up to no good. She was probably like “haha, thought you could drop something and pick it up faster than my mouth can pick it up”.

FAIL.

Let’s get started!

Get some wood!

Lot's of BEANS ( you know what this means) HEHE

We can't forget about our Martha Stewart glue gun! (links below)

I put them in separate containers. Makes them stay together...We don't wanna separate the babies do we.

I started by making a small circle with beans in the center of the wood. Yes Jaderbugs, first I put my hot glue down!

Start arranging your BEANS until you like how they look.. Guess we would stay we are BEAN professionals.

Look how DELICIOUS this baby looks! Woud you believe me if I told you I tried eating a raw one.. What? I just wanted to see if it would crack.... Thank GOD it didn't crack me teet.. HAHA. Happy Beaning Jaderbugs!

Sending you a BIG BEAN BABY hug,

Popcorn Wreath

Let me just begin by saying I did a BIG popcorn wreath and SMASHEd it on the floor! I am so frustrated because I put a sheet over it so nothing would get to it until the morning and when I walked in my studio the next day I WALKED RIGHT ON TOP OF IT. Of course I didn’t see it. I know. If you were to know what being in my shoes have been like in the last week then you would understand not “seeing” something that is right in front of you. It’s such a horror story.

Grab a good ole bag of popcorn! I used organic popcorn because I knew I would be “snacking” while making!

Look how pretty and fluffy this popcorn is!

I started by getting some dental floss and stringing these babies together. I wish I didn’t step on the one that took me 2 hours to make. UGH. I am totally being fonky and making a baby wreath. I’m sorry Jaderbugs! I just don’t have 2 hours to do it all over again! <3 you though!

This is by “baby” wreath! I actually think it’s cute. It looks like the start of an OLYMPICS symbol. HAHA! OH and I just used some twine to hang it!

Love ya, mean it,
