Enhancing store bought glittered snowflakes

 A local hardware store had a clearance sale and I was lucky enough to attend at the end of the event. I bought a few things, however my favorite find during the sale was three packages of these large glittered snowflakes.

Using the Tim Holtz medallion strip die I die cut and folded thick cardstock into these 2.5" medallions. Hot glued in place. Then looked through my Stampin Up sentiments and stamped various phrases on thick craft card stock. Spellbinders labels die allowed me to fancy up the sentiments.

Beach ornament

Here is another Pinterest try.
I had every thing at home already.
Sand from Michael's
Stick and cardstock from my stash
Sea shells from various beaches

 Glued twine to holder.

I think they came out cute. Hardest part is getting the stick to stay up straight...

Cloth covered plastic Dollar Tree candy canes

Saw this on Pinterest where you take the plastic candy canes from Dollar Tree and wrap them in material.

 Using my hot glue gun and one inch strips of fabric, start glueing on either on.

 Wrap the cane tightly and adding a little glue to hold it in place.

 Added a bow and a button.

 Here is the lot I made this morning

Flower Angel

Wooded beaded flower angel ornaments for my craft fair coming up.
I had all items on hand to try my hand at these as I've seen them on Pinterest.
I purchased these flowers from Michael's as part of the fall flowers discounted down 80%.

With one bloom....I was able to make three angels!
For the head I used a 25mm wooden bead.
For the wings I wrapped gathered lace around the neck area, made a figure 8 and twisted it into a set of wings and hot glued it down.
Added the faux diamond to the front and gave her a halo.

Wooden ornament with jingle bell

Using more blocks I stamped this saying using Stayzon black ink.

I love this verse from the old Christmas song and it fit perfectly on the wooden block.

To add to the twine hanger I threaded on a little bell

Let is snow Mini wooden ornaments

Using blocks of wood I stamped the words using Stats on ink.

 Hot glued the block to a wooden snowflake

 I chose the snowflakes from my stash that had a hole in it for easy hanging with an ornament hook

Craft fair candles

Made 4 of these for a craft fair
The candles are battery operated with a real wax feel and flickering flame. These plain candles came from The Dollar Tree

 This version I cut a 1.5" of music paper and hit glued to the candle. Then die cut the peace frame and sentiment.

This version I wrapped twine around the mid section of the candle and then hot glue 3 leaves and added rhinestones.

Flower pens

These are so pretty and easy to make.
I went to Wal-Mart and found these gorgeous PaperMate pens (ink matches the pen) and they write so smooth!

I had a bag full of flowers that were not used and proceeded to take them off the stems.
Remove all the end caps of the pens and hot glue the flowers in.

To make them prettier I also hot glued leaves to the pen barrels and wrapped them either in rhinestones or printed tape.
I'm selling them for $2.00

Wooden Spool Necklaces

Made these 4 spool necklaces to sell at my spot in the store. Signature Finishes in North Grafton.

Took the spool and wrapped lace or ribbon around it and glued in place.

Added links of chain through the spool and secured each end with a jump ring.

Added various items to the bottom and finished off with a clasped cording about 24".

Snow wooden sign

Along with the snowmen I made a few of these. Some I free handed the letters S N W, others I used stamps.
I sold these with snowflakes and Tea Lights for 5.00

Drew on little accents and added rhinestones for sparkle.

Snowman from 2 x 4

I was inspired by Pinterest to make these for my December craft fair.

Purchased a 2 x 4
Cut to 6" lengths
Sanded all edged
Painted with off white house paint
Purchased a couple fat quarters from Wal-Mart and ripped into pieces for scarfs
Painted on faces
Glued on buttons
I sold these for 5.00 they did well and will make more for next fair

Gift card pop up holder

I spent a couple hours tonight making these (8) for an upcoming craft fair.
Starting out with a 4 1/4 x 10" piece of card stock (I can make 2 base card holders from one 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.)
Score on the 10" side at 3"~4"~5"~and 8".

If you valley, mountain then valley fold the 3" 4" and 5" scored areas then glue the sides, take a punch or cut the fold you can insert a gift card.

I punched out some tags (Stampin' Up punch and sentiment)

And tied on Dollar Tree green twine.

Mickey head bottlecap necklace

I am making these for an upcoming craft fair and selling them for $5.00.

I bought bottle caps that already had the bail on them to save time from punching a hole in the bottlecap or trying to add on a bail.
Using an EK Success one inch punch I punched various glitter paper and E6000 them to the caps and glued on the rhinestone Mickey heads.

I bought corresponding suede/leather cording and cut to lengths that they can be slipped over the heads, however I did finish them off with a sliding knot so they can be adjusted.

Chapstick Holders

You may have seen my older post with the black polka dot chap stick holders, recently I made two more versions.
I've already sold 15 of them and my craft fair is tomorrow! So there may only be a small sample tomorrow to sell.

Either way I loved making these and they were fun to pick out the ribbon.

The latest one I did was a Periwinkle color and added rhinestone strip to the top.

 Here is the set, I am giving my customer's the option of buying the holder with or without the Chap Stick.

Wish upon a starfish

I created these tonight for my upcoming craft fair.
Printed the saying on cardstock from MS Word. Using a thin die I cut out the shape around it. Using my 1/8" hole punched, I punched three holes to tie the twine and a dangle pearl.

I made 6 and of course keeping one for myself.

Chapstick key chain

Saw this on Pinterest and couldn't wait to try it.
Here's my version:

I bought the ribbon at Wal-Mart yesterday and cut the roll up into 8" lengths.

I hemmed the bottom and had a huge bag of D rings so I sewed one to the top.

Then folded up the bottom and side stitched it up.

This is how the back looks.

Can't wait to attach it to my purse. I made more to sell at a craft fair next month.
