Santa-Tizer

For my son's preschool teachers Christmas gifts I came up with this great idea.  I got the idea from pinterest but there was no tutorial or anything.  I came up with my own and think they turned out cuter.

 I bought hand sanitizer from the dollar store.

 Red, Black & White construction paper.  Glue, tape, glitter, paper cutter, squiggly scissors, & hole punch.

I measured the red paper around the sanitizer, then cute out the white bottom with squiggly scissors and taped onto red paper.  Then cute out black paper as belt and glued on.  Hole punched out black buttons and glued on.  Then I took glue and drew a belt buckle and covered glue with glitter.  I let it dry for a minute and then shook remainder glitter off. Then I took finished Santa suit and taped onto sanitizer.

 You now have "Santa-Tizer".

I loved how they turned out and I want to do this as my neighbor gifts next year.

Birthday Party Hat

I made this cute Birthday hat for my daughter's first Birthday last week.  It turned out adorable.  I only wish she would have left it on.  I got the idea here.

I know I've been gone forever, sorry!

Heart Ornaments

I got this idea from Family Fun Magazine.  You take 1/4 cup of cornstartch and 1/2 cup of water.  Mix these together first and then heat it in a saucepan until it's thick.

Cut yarn into foot-long pieces.

Then you dip the yarn into the cornstarch glue (make sure to slide your fingers down the yarn to get the excess glue off.)  Place the yarn inside a heart shape cookie cutter.  Once you have all the yarn inside the cookie cutter you press it flat.

You let it dry and then they are nice and hard for you to hang.

I think they turned out so cute and they are so easy to make!

I hope your having a fun Valentine Weekend!  I know we have been celebrating all weekend long.
