For someone Naughty

Here is a fun little 'treat' for that naughty person on your list!





Materials needed:


cardstock
patterned paper
ribbon
embellishments
little baggie of marshmallows (3" x 4")

verse:

I heard that you've been naughty,
So listen, here's the scoop...
All you get for Christmas this year
Is some snowman poop!


Instructions:






Thread the ribbon through the 4 1/2" panel first, then through the closing flap to tie your pouch closed, and add patterned paper and embellishments




Have fun and let us know if you gave this a whirl!.... Tamara :)

Painted Snowman Jar

This project requires:
~a Mason jar (or any similar jar )
~acrylic paint (white, black, orange)
~black marker
~a piece of felt
~clear spray OR some other coating to keep the paint from scratching off. (I used "Stickles".)


I painted the jar 2X with thin layers of paint. I let them dry well before coats. The third coat was put on with a sponge, to give the jar a bit of a "bumpy" effect.


I drew out the eyes, nose and mouth with a pencil. I then painted them with a couple of thin coats. I find it is better to do several thin coats of paint as opposed to putting on one thick coat.


When that was dry, I added stitches and outlined the nose with a Sharpie Marker. I coated the whole jar with Stickles to make it sparkle and shine! It also helps to keep the paint on so it doesn't cratch off so easily.


With a strip of felt, I glued it around the top of the jar. Once that is dry, it's ready for candy, candy cane or any other gift ideas you can think to fill it!
