New Year's Eve Crafts

I hope that you all had a good Christmas! We had a very nice one. But now that one Holiday is over, the next is only a few days away! Are you ready for the New Year? Here are a few crafts to get you in the party mood!

 
Party Blower
1. Cut the paper 1" by 4".
2. Roll up around a pencil and tape together, Slide off of the pencil.
3. Flatten the roll. Tape the end closed.
4. Roll up and blow!

 
Party Hat
1. Cut out half of a circle. You may want to trace something for this. The bigger the circle, the bigger the hat!
2. Twist into a cone shape, trim the ends, and wear!

We also made eyeglasses and confetti. Everything is so easy to make, so you can make plenty for everyone! You can also decorate and add your own touches to all of the crafts. Making it is where the fun begins!

Cloves and Clementines

Clementines and oranges are some of our favorite winter fruits. But they don't always get eaten right away. Filling them with cloves is a great craft to do with the leftovers! It's really easy, and a lot of  fun to do. The fruits add a splash of color to any wall, and they smell great too!

You'll need:
 A few clementines or oranges (You can use other citrus fruits too!)
Cloves (As many as needed)
Ribbon (Or something else to tie it up with)
(Optional) A small pin or nail (Be careful!)

 
Tie the ribbon around the fruit first. This can be in any way that you want, but just wrapping it around is usually easiest.

 
Then fill with cloves! You may need to use the pin or nail to prick the holes first, before you push in the cloves. Be sure to have help!
And be creative in your designs! You can do stripes, or stars, hearts, or whatever else you can think of!

 
Tie the ribbons together and hang up. I added a bell to mine, and you can add anything else that you want!

 

Enjoy for the holidays!

I'm Back! And...

Sorry for the unannounced break. We've been having internet problems, but it's now fixed!
But, while I was gone, I did make up a few things! First, new printables! And made especially for the holiday season.


I don't have a calender made up yet, but I should have it soon. 
And a new doll picture! The old one was grainy, and I finally got around to taking a new one. What do you think?

And a sneak peek for the next ebook. Any guesses??
