Pinterest Projects

This weekend we decided to get crafty and do a few of the projects I had pinned on Pinterest.  Just thought I would share because we love everything that we made!!

First we made Christmas tree and heart crayons.  This was fun to do because all of us could help get the crayons ready (taking off the cover and cutting up).  We got the cheap crayons from Target and the Christmas Tree mold was in the dollar bin there.  We just had to put the crayon pieces in the oven and voila cute crayons for the girls to use!!

Then we made an ornament shadow box. The ornaments were also in the dollar bin at Target and the shadow box was 60% off at Michael's.  All we did was take off the ends of the ornaments and hot glued them in!!  This can be used as either a tray or a wall hanging.  We will see what we feel like doing with it once our Christmas decorations are up!!

I think the next one that we did is my favorite.  My brother helped me put this one together.  It is a Christmas card holder wreath.  So simple and so cute.  All we used was a wood circle, some clothes pins, a few cans of spray paint (green and glitter green), hot glue and some super cute ribbon!!  Hope we get a lot of Christmas cards this year to put up on our "wreath".

Today I finished one last project.  For this one I just bought a plain glass jar ($3 at Michaels), got some rubberbands from work, put the rubberbands around the jar, sprayed it with some frosted spray paint and we had an instant display jar.  I put a candle in it and it looked great, I think I will use this all year and just change what is on the inside of it [ornaments at Christmas, hearts at Valentines Day -  you get the idea :)]

We had a lot of fun doing these projects and everything was so easy and cheap!!  Definitely let me know what you think and if any of you try any of these projects!!
