Last Minute Christmas Crafts

     This Christmas season we were severely slacking on getting everything done on time, so like many of you all this week was cram packed full of last minute ideas and for me... crafts

This is what we came up with, a little help from pinterest on the snow globe and the mason jar with hot chocolate.



Mason Jar Hot Chocolate:
-Mason Jar
-Fabric
-Stamp
-Stamp pad
-Scissors
-Your favorite Chocolate
-Marsh mellows
-Peppermint candy
-Ribbon
We used Stephen's hot cocoa from Costco because there is a lot 
in the can,it was decently priced and it tastes so good!

Layer: hot cocoa, marsh mellows, and then peppermints

Cut Fabric into squares, put them on top of the flat piece of 
the lid, then seal them in with the screw part of the lid

Stamp the top with your favorite stamp. I chose Santa, 
Oh holy night, and star stamps



Snow Globe:
-Mason jar
-Super glue
-Cute toy
-Glitter
-Gift card
-Water

 Super glue toy to the flat part of the lid. We chose a 
Christmas looking rubber ducky. Super glue the gift
card onto the toy. Pinterest says use hot glue, but we
found out that it falls off fast. Super glue works
wonders!

Fill mason jar up with water and add as much glitters
as you see fit. We chose to do A LOT! Seal it tight
and enjoy.



This was a fun craft for my husband and I. We were sturggling with where to put all of our stockings so he thought of the clever idea to use a coat rack and have out stockings dangling from the top. What my husband did was cut wire hangers and twist them so they have a hook at the top and the hook from the hanger at the bottom ("S" formation). He did that 5x for the 5 stockings. We took $1 store garlin, and $1 store ribbon and twisted it around the poles, then we added our clearance red and green lights around the polls and that was it. The coat rack had a shelf on it so we added presents on the rack as well.



 Finished project :) turned out fantastic!


We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas,
