The Monday mayhem getting kids up, dressed, fed and shove em out the door! Just kidding on the shoving. Well sometimes I feel like that, but I at least kiss them first and give em the ol "you can do it, you're the best and a fist pump". HA! Anyone else have kids that are "sick" every Monday? Well since all 3 of my monsters were really sick last week, momma didn't fall for that bag of tricks this morning. I am on to these lil monsters they can't fool me. I know all the "sick" tricks cause I was the master, but don't tell my mom that. I know my sibs will squeal on me, but I got dirt on them so they better just hush! (love you guys, can't wait for Thanksgiving!! *spoken in my most positive voice*.... *they better not squeal*) Heehee!
OK so I looooved yesterday's ornament. I can't wait to show you what will take place Saturday at my house it is going to be the CraFTiNg of alll mother crafting at my house I. Can't. Wait. My SIL is coming over and together we are gonna make some crafty junk!!!! I love decorating and crafting with her she has good ideas and we always have a great time together. Maybe SHE will let me feature her on Saturday??? hmmmmm..."M" what do ya think?? Better come prepared my feisty Italian girl!! *hugs*
Alright I have kept you hanging long enough. You know I can't just start in on a craft I gotta lead up to it, make ya hungry for it. How bad do ya want it.....??? *giggle*
So this was the cliffhanger from yesterday. What can we make from this little pile of yumminess!
Here is what you need to make this ornament.
- Brown Kraft paper (I big puffy heart this stuff, so cheap too!)
- gLiTtEr!!!!! Any color
- Hot glue (here the heavenly music)
- Scissors
- Jute string or ribbon
- Christmas tree shape or another shape (circle, a letter etc.) (you can even use different paper).
- Elmer's glue
- paint brush and plate to put glue in
- plate to put glitter in
 |
| First I cut out 11 strips of Kraft paper about 6 inches long and about an 1 inch wide |
 |
| Loop each strip in half but don't crease it add a small dot of hot glue to the opened end to close it up. |
 |
| Paint glue on the edge of the loop and dip it into the glitter (whatever color). |
 |
| Glitter each loop front and back but don't glue all the way to the end of the loop that will be covered up anyway. Hot glue all the loops together on each end. |
 |
| This is what it should look like after you hot glue each end of the strip |
 |
| Hot glue your Christmas tree in the center, punch a hole in the top thread the string through and you are done! |
 |
| You can even let your lil monsters help you. After you brush the glue on let them dip and shake off the excess glitter. They will love it and feel part of the process! |
 |
| I love her! What a lil cutie! Tomorrow is going to be slammin man, I will give you a lil sneak peek tonight on FB!! HA!! I love suspense...it's killing me!! Have a Happy Day! G |
