Handmade Christmas day 11

Yesterday day was supposed to be day 11, opps. We made these white chocolate covered pretzel sticks today so that counts right?

Handmade Christmas Day 10 Chapstick holder.

This Chapstick cozy is easy and quick to make and would make great gifts.

For this Chapstick holder keychain you will need:

2"width ribbon (I recommend ribbon wit wire)
Keyring
Sewing machine

First thing you will do is cut a piece of ribbon that is about 10" I used a ribbon with a wire this makes folding up edges for heming easy.

Fold top end over twice to make a clean edge

Put ribbon through the key ring and sew it

Fold the bottom up and sew to create a clean bottom edge

Fold bottom up about 2.75"

Sew the sides up I sewed right along the wire edge of the ribbon.

And you have a Chapstick cozy keychain.

Handmade Christmas Day 9 stump snowman

We cut down a bunch of trees in our backyard so we have a bunch of cut wood just sitting back there. I wanted to put one to use and make something. What I came up was Stumpy the snowman ( logman?). I am not really sure what to think of him he is kinda funny looking.



I used:

A log painted white
Rocks ( eyes and mouth)
Clothes pin painted orange (nose)
Fabric scraps (hat and scarf)
Fishing line (tied around hat to close top)
Pom pom
Buttons
Sticks painted white


Transporting Stumpy to the porch.

Handmade Christmas Day 8 Sorry

Today I got a workout in, did the grocery shopping, did some laundry, took my son to an appointment, cooked dinner, cleaned up dinner in the meantime put coats of finish on the table that I have been repainting since super glue and paper stuck to it. Sorry that a project didn't get finished today I feel to tired to complete one today 😔

Day 7 Handmade Christmas

Bike Rim Wreath



We have had this old bike Rim just taking up space in the garage for some time I finally figured out some way to use it.

For this project I used:

An old bike Rim
Red spray paint
Garland
Ornaments


Start with an old bike Rim paint it the color of your choice wrap garland around the rim and hang ornaments on. I didn't glue anything on this as I would like to do something else with this rim once the holiday season is done and be able to change the wreath out for the seasons. The pinecone in the center is my son's touch.
