Answer 1

those white Christmas reindeer for your front lawn are pretty cool...

Answer 2

This is a very easy project.

Needed:
Clear Christmas Tree Ornaments
Acrylic Paints in coordinating colors
Color-coordinated ribbons
Small funnel

Remove the top of the clear ornament carefully by pinching the spring together and pulling it off. Put it aside for later.

Choose two or three acrylic paints and using the funnel, carefully pour the paint into the inside of the ornament. Twist and turn the ball until the entire inside has been coated with paint. Try to get a marble effect and not totally mix the paint together making it all one color. Pour the excess paint out the opening in the top.

Set it upside down and let it dry. Once dry, attach the hanger by pinching the spring together and putting it back in the top. Tie a coordinating ribbon on the ornament.

You could also add some dried flowers or silk flowers around the top as well (using a hot glue gun), or you can leave it plain.

Each one is a "one of a kind" and very simple to do. If you want, you can use Sharpie pens to personalize the outside of the ornament.

Answer 3

I learned this craft a long time ago, and I think they're called god eyes. You take 2,3,4, or 5 skewers, and glue them into a star shape. Then wind christmas colored peices of yarn around the sticks. It's hard to explain without pictures, so you might be able to get a better idea by googling up god's eyes.

Another craft I know I know is where you glue old puzzle peices in a shape of a wreath together, then paint them green. And after that you just glue on a red bow and hang it somewhere.

A more realistic wreath would be buying a plain one at the craft store or a real one somewhere and decorating it with dried citrus peices and cinimon sticks (nice aroma out of this).

A remember a snowglobe craft from somewhere. It goes like filling a big jar with water, rice, and small plastic items. Then glue up the lid with superglue.


Hop you find these crafts useful!

Answer 4

These two mitten ornaments are precious and I have recieved many many compliments on them both.

They can be added to other things in your decor like a wreath or centerpiece too. They are so easy to make. I wish I could add a picture but youll have to see them in the links provided. :-)
