raggy wreath


first you will need a wreath of any kind, scissors, and lots of fabric cut into strips, my strips are a little smaller than 12 inches long 2 inches wide, my wooden wreath was very small so if yours is bigger you need to adjust, just cut one, double knot it on the wreath and if its long enough measure them all by that. :D I used this old fabric I dont even like on it and had no ribbon to match but even this fabric could be cute in a country theme with a few decorations on it like some rope knotted up or little boots :D have fun!!

fridge spice cup magnets(this is a great space saver)



I found some containers 10 for a dollar at the dollar tree, I used my craft paper that came with all matching sheets and stickers and cut out a circle.  You glue a metal washer to the back middle of the cup with hot glue or super glue, take your craft paper circle that you cut out and stick your letters on, then take a thin layer of regular school glue mixed with water and paint on the front and back of the craft paper and press it into the lid.  Fill with your spice snap on the lid.  Put your magnet on the fridge and attach it to it.  You can also just do the lids in great craft paper colors with your child's name in stickers or sharpie and use them in their lunch box.  If you write on them with a sharpie wait till the glue is dry and then write on  the craft paper.

Cheap and easy wreath

This is my latest project, I took some leaves I had leftover from a few years ago, some ribbon and made ribbon flowers,  you could use premade, and all I did was hot glue the leaves around an old picture frame.  You can find a frame or leaves at the dollar tree if you dont have any.  Be creative see what you can use that you already have and you could end up with a free holiday wreath!
