Christmas leftovers and Christmas Alley


So a few nights ago I saw these reindeer ornaments on Martha Stewart .com and decided they were cute enough to make a whirl at. She actually has santa clause and snowmen too but went to Walmart to find some buttons and they had an assorted pack of brown for $1.50 which one can't beat that price on buttons. So that is why I just did the reindeer. These are INCREDIBLY easy to make so I might try the other characters. You can find the directions on her page but its pretty self explanatory. I think they are in the kids craft ideas and would definitely concur. No hot glue, minimal scissor. EASY EASY EASY ! The next is a project I threw together with some leftovers I had--a santa garland. I ordered the clip art from ArtChix and thought I'd use it on my advent calendar and they were just too large for that. (Advice: when you order stuff online to save on shipping order extra or order for future projects or to inspire future projects). Then I had all these pipe cleaners and so I strung them together with hot glue. Another easy project. (opinion: Craft projects add up quickly in cost. However, rarely will one project use up all the material you bought and thus the leftovers can be used for future projects.
