Springtime pretties

Hello! Well, Valentine's Day came and went without so much as a paper heart, so I cured my craft guilt by making these pretty butterflies to decorate my office window. They are really easy to make (see video link below).

The only thing I did differently to the video was to secure the butterfly "nose" in place with the glue gun.

Supplies used:

• Colorful construction paper (stolen from my daughter's stash)
• Scissors
• Glue gun

Ornaments, not SNOREnaments

Crazy Christmas Crafting commenced in mid November. I think I'll have to start in September next year because there are soooo many things I would have loved to make!

Supplies used:

• Craft foam (white: plain and texture, glittery: yellow, green, black, red, pink)
• Acrylic paint (orange, black, pink)
• Buttons and fabric scraps
• Iridescent white glitter
• Textured snow paint
•  Pom poms (white)

Adorable Rudy

I made 12 of these critters this week. I still don't know why I'm torturing myself making 12 of each ornament, but it's really satisfying when they're complete. I'm making them as gifts and they will be magnets and tree ornaments. :-)

The first few reindeer's faces weirded me out. They look a little too crazy to be driving Santa's sleigh!

Supplies used:

• Craft Foam (glittery green, brown, tan)
• Acrylic Paint (black, white, pink, brown)
• Pom Poms (small multicolored and medium red)
• Oil pastels (brown)
• Ribbon (red)
• Craft gun and glue sticks
• Paintbrushes (liner, fine)
• Scissors
• Reindeer template (printed a design from internet, created stencil with cardboard)
