1. Bottle Cap Magnets - We used our 1" hole punch to cut pictures out of magazines and craft paper. We added glitter, buttons, and other small items. Then filled it with dimensional mod podge, attached magnets to the back and packaged them on card stock with a washer behind to hold them in place.
2. Relaxation Eye Bags - I made these for all my friends in the 9th grade when I discover them in a yoga class. I had forgotten how much I adored them until recently I saw something similar on pinterest. You can make them any shape you want. These are intended to rest on your forehead and eyes. They are filled with lavender and rice. You can microwave them for 30 seconds and then lay back and relax. This is the amount of sewing skill I have. I can make a rectangular pillow (more or less).
3. Book Page Letter Ornaments - I printed large letters in a font interesting, but not terribly complex. Then I traced the letters on foam core and cut them out with my exacto. I spent a few evening shredding book pages and mod podging over the letter to make sure all white space was covered. Then I threaded a piece of embroidery floss through a hole I had poked with a skewer. Voila!
4. Salt Dough Ornaments - We mixed 1 cup of salt, 4 cups of four, and 2 cups of water with our hands. Then we rolled it out, and used all our fun cookie cutters. Next we pulled out our stamps and colored inks. They bake in the oven FOREVER. I think I wound up leaving them in for about 5 hours at 225 degrees. We kept a few ornaments and used the rest as gift tags.
5. I love making these. One day you will see me at an art fair with my own booth selling my favorite sayings. There are many layers and steps, but I really like the way this one turned out.
6. Scrabble Name Ornaments - I started by drilling holes in the end letters. Then I glued the letters together and let them dry. I used copper wire and pliers to create the hangers.
7. Cookies - This year we just made Peanut Butter Kisses and Cranberry Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. They were delicious, but gone :(
