Glitter Ball Ornament:
1. In a cupcake wrapper or glitter tray, mix 4 parts Verdelite glitter with 1 part Sterling glitter.
2. Apply glittering glue to a plain ball ornament with a brush.
3. Sprinkle all over with the glitter mixture, shaking off excess. Let dry.
Glitter Stripe Tags:
1. Cut an assortment of tag shapes in various sizes from craftstock.
2. Apply a strip of double-sided tape at an angle to the bottom of a tag. Trim it even with the tag’s edge. Remove the tape backing and sprinkle with Smoky Quartz glitter.
3. Apply another strip and glitter with Florentine Gold.
4. Punch a hole at the top and string with ribbon or baker’s twine.
5. Experiment with different arrangements of strips, including weaving strips together or mixing thick and thin widths.

I haven't much time to make much with the kids this year with school and after school acitivites. But, on Friday we started making paper garland and next week sometime I hope to make a gingerbread house kit with the kids.
Me too steph ashton: I am hoping to use a gingerbread house kit to do with the kids! I also like making cut out sugar cookies with them so they can decorate them. Makes a terrible mess but still love doing it each year.
A few yrs ago you had how to make homemade salt dough ornaments in your newsletter. I make them every year now with the kids. Just take any cookie cutters you like to cut out the dough. Cook them to dry them. Then paint them the next day. I use a sharpie pen to write to and from on the ornament. You can seal with clear acrylic paint then string a ribbon thru it. Another option is gluing magnets to the back of the ornament.
we've made craft stick picture frames for the tree! And standing rain deer for the windows.
