Teacher gifts of homemade marshmallows, hot chocolate mix & a mug. Notice the mason jar covers match the mug. I bought a coordinating napkin and cut the rounds to decorate the jars.
I've been stitching away the cutest felt ornaments for Eli's classmates. Instructions found here
I've been re-purposing last year's Christmas cards as well. Using a 2" punch, I cut out scalloped circles of old cards. I use them as gift tags and made a garland to hang in the kitchen.
To make the garland, attach punched out cards to bakers twine with color coded dot stickers (available at office supply stores). Secure with craft glue. String on a tree, hang in windows or drape them elsewhere for a festive look.
Don't throw your wrapping paper remnants away! Glue paper onto clothespins and use the decorative pins to clip your Christmas cards onto ribbon or garland.
How to: Brush craft glue onto clothespins and lay clothespins, glue side down onto wrapping paper remnants (right side facing down). Allow to dry. Using an craft knife, cut paper to fit. Repeat on other side. Once both sides are dry, apply craft glue for a nice satin like finish.
