Cork Board Cabinet



I needed a way to keep all my ugly notes OFF the fridge. I hot glued a large piece of cork to the inside of my couboard door. Great way to hide all those notes.
**I checked a small section to make sure that the hot glue could be removed when I wanted in the future. It did on my low heat gun.

Peek-A-Boo Bag



The Peek-A-Boo Bag is great for small children and Older adults.

This project takes:
1 piece of felt (or 2 halfs)
1 strong piece of plastic the same size as one half
small items to hide inside
bag of plastic balls used in floral decor or rice *rice will leave a powder on all your objects.

1- Cut a window in one piece of felt.
2- Attach/sew a list of items to the back of the other piece of felt if desired.
3- Sew the plastic to the felt with the window by sewing around the window.
4- Sew 3 sides of the felt pieces together with the plastic sandwiched between them. I used a zig zag stitch.
5- Fill your bag with small items and rice/plastic balls.
6- Stitch the top closed. Again I used a zig zag stitch

Pendants to cover Holiday Countdown


I purchased a Sculpey clay packet (about $1 a pack)(this project took less than one white pack). Following it's directions I prepared the clay. I then rolled little balls of white clay and squished them with a small 1" circle stamp (mine were basic clear stamps for paper crafting) to impress the image. I made 25 little pendants to cover my Bingo Holiday Countdown Board. I baked as directed (275* for 15 min). Had fun making these with the kids. For other Sculpey ideas go to their website.

***These could also be jewlry charms or pendants.

Snow Buddys Wood Pattern


I had to make this adorable snowman. The free pattern can be found here. I clearly made mine way taller and left the hat off but love the basic shape.
