Nostalgia ~ November 17

I came across this the other day and had to share it...  If your as old as I am you will remember making a wreath or star burst from IBM cards... same idea - updated, and it's actually very attractive.

November 15 ~ treasures from trash

On another blog I write you will learn that today is America Recycles Day... the perfect day to talk about turning some trash into Christmas treasures...






I just loved that one...

On a smaller scale think about using the same process with a circle of about 3 inches and old puzzle pieces.  If the coloring on the pieces are not acceptable you can spray paint the small wreath green and add small red dots for "berries".  Glue a ribbon hanger on and your ready to use this as a tree ornament.

Another Pinecone Craft ~ October 23

Here's another simple Pinecone craft you can do with the kids. Pour white glue onto a disposable plate, shallow bowl, or other low sided container. In another similar contain pour glitter, in whatever color you like. Roll the pine cone in the white glue and then in the glitter. When I did this craft with my children I used some start shaped beads to put onto the top of our pinecone tree, and we glue them to a plastic coffee can lid with some fiber fill to look like snow.
