I know I’m not the first person to come up with these cute Christmas Mason Jar gifts, but I thought you’d enjoy seeing them anyway! The best part is that they can be put together in a matter of minutes with materials you probably have on hand, like buttons, felt and paper!
Today is an exciting day, my friends! Because today marks my first official day as a host for the Creative Spark Link Party! I am so honored and excited to be joined three awesome blogs to host this weekly link-up party. And I hope you’ll come back every Wednesday to check it out. If you’re a blogger yourself, link-up your recent crafts and DIYs (it’s super easy, I promise!). If you’re not a blogger, come on by for a weekly dose of creative inspiration!
And with that, welcome to Week 33 of the Creative Spark Link Party!
The holiday season is in full swing! I’ve been busy decorating the house and tree, and trying to get gifts purchased so I can start wrapping! I should probably also be writing up my Christmas cards… But when Fox19 asked me to come on and share a few holiday entertaining ideas, I just couldn’t say no!
Are you getting into the holiday spirit? It’s in full swing here in our house, especially now that we’ve hauled out the holly… in the form of this geometric holly ornament, that is!
Today is a pretty cool day, because it’s a Silhouette Challenge day! It’s been several months since I’ve participated in a Challenge, so if you’re new here and not sure what this means, here’s an explanation! On the second Monday of each month, members of the Silhouette Challenge Facebook group share projects related to that month’s theme. This month’s theme is “holiday” (big surprise, huh?), so be sure to scroll allll the way to the bottom of this post to see more holiday ideas and inspiration! But wait! There’s more! There is also an incredible Silhouette giveaway up for grabs… not one, but TWO: a Silhouette Portrait with Rhinestone kit and a Silhouette Cameo bundle! So don’t miss your chance to get in on that!
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let me show you how I made this three-dimensional geometric holly ornament! Y’know, because maybe you’d like to make one too 😉
I have been dreaming up my “theme” for my holiday decorations for a few months now. My idea? A sort of snowy wonderland scene, with whites, silvers, grays, and reds, and speckled with the sorts of critters you’d expect to find in a snowy wonderland, like reindeer, owls and… trolls?? Yep, trolls!
I came across these felt trolls in the Garnet Hill catalogue and immediately added them to my holiday wishlist. But after checking the prices, I thought Tom thought it’d be a fun DIY challenge to re-create them myself.
