Crafty Goodness

Okay- I'm back to share some of the crafty goodness we've been making here.
On Thursday I made these star ornaments from scrapbooking paper.

Aren't they adorable! I just love the papers I found to make them with. I nabbed the pattern from Dub and Sam. You can make them yourself- quite easily. Some are for us and some are to give away. I've already given a couple to my Mama and she loved them so much she's planning digging thru her scrapbooking papers so that I can make her some more. My 6.5 year old DD, Sassafras, even made a couple with me- that's how easy!
Okay- then on Friday Sass and I started making these snowman pins from buttons.

Buttons from the button jar. Scraps of fabric. Black foam. Pin backs. That's it. Had the black foam left over from Halloween projects years ago. All we had to do was purchase the pin backs [$1.00 for 6 backs]. A fun, easy and cheap craft. We just used the hot glue gun to put it all together. It probably took less than 15 minutes to do these 3 pins (and that's with a 6.5 yr old's help! LOL) We do plan on making at least 3 more.
I'm thinking it might be fun to purchase some really big buttons and make a couple of jumbo "brooches".

Thanks for the great ideas :) . My 8 yo dd loves the snowman pins- we may just have to dig out Great Grandma's button box and make a few of these.

Blessings,
