Turkey Hand Tee

Here's a modern twist on the Thanksgiving hand turkey!
My daughter and I made this a few years ago and we had so much fun I had to share it again!

Look at that sweet little face! I can't believe how fast she's growing up!

Three years later & she had to squeeze into the shirt one last time for some silly photos!

We followed the tutorial from Treasures For Tots as our guide. Using fabric scraps, ribbons & buttons, we made the whole thing in less than one hour & the best part... No sewing involved (woot)!

Now go create some memories of their sweet little hands and make your little one a fun tee to rock this Thanksgiving!

Pilgrim Hat Crayon Holder

Thanksgiving is right around the corner & I need some projects to keep my little one busy while we're visiting family. Paper placemats & this pilgrim hat filled with crayons is sure to do the trick!

What you'll need:

Black cups

Black paper

Scrapbook paper

Hot glue gun

Simply cut the bottom out of a black cup (I only had white cups so I sprayed mine with chalkboard paint). Hot glue the cup upside-down to a circle shaped piece of black paper. Cut a band for around the cup & add a scrapbook paper square for the buckle. Simple!

 These would also be adorable at each place setting to hold disposable silverware setting or fill them with candy treats!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

So very true!

Rainbow Sprinkles Necklace

 Holiday baking season is almost here! Woohoo!

 This year I wanted to create a special gift for all my baker friends! 

What better than a rainbow sprinkle necklace?

What you'll need:

Nonpareil sprinkles

Cabochon setting

3D Crystal Lacquer

Add a layer of sprinkles to your cabochon. Give it a little shake to make sure every little nook is covered.

Starting with the outer perimeter, add a layer of the crystal lacquer. If you get any air bubbles, take a small toothpick and pop them or drag them to the side until they come out. That's it! Allow 24 hours to completely dry.

It would also makes a sweet gift for the little ones. By the smile on her face, I'm pretty sure my daughter has confiscated this one :)

Chalkboard Coasters

The holidays are right around the corner which means a calendar filled with lots of social gatherings! This year I wanted to create a fun hostess gift to pair with a bottle of wine/cider/etc.  

What you'll need:
Chalkboard spray paint
Ceramic tiles
Cork sheets or felt
Adhesive or hot glue gun
Chalk

Lay out your tiles and spray with chalkboard paint. I did two coats and allowed one hour drying time between coats.

In the scrapbook section of Michael's, I found some awesome cork sheets that I cut to fit the back of the tile. You could also use felt. These will protect the tile from scratching furniture surfaces. Spread a layer of glue & attach to the tile. Let dry.

Now guests can write their name, doodle and keep track of their drinks.

 

 When the fun is done, clean up is a breeze.

Simply wipe down with a damp cloth and let air dry. 

 Wrap the tiles with some pretty ribbon & a piece of chalk and 

you've got a fun, affordable & unique gift!
