Christmas Crafts 2019

Crafting Christmas Gifts

I stopped at Walmart and Dollar Tree to pick up a few craft supplies.

I found I enjoy letting the super thick candy cane sticks melt into a cup of hot chocolate.

So I enjoyed a few while I crafted. 😊

I sprayed these letters with a red paint. 

It was more of a finish than a paint.

I used blackboard paint and a white pen to do some detail. 

I sprayed a clear finish over to ensure the chalk edges wouldn't smudge.

I found small sticks and twigs under our maple tree and hot glued this H.

When I make these gifts for a certain person, I always have them on my mind.

Sometimes I feel like its a silent way to say a prayer for them.

This one here I made for Samwise's mother.

This one's for my dad's mother.

My mom's mother.

Here are three of them finished.

I had these all wrapped before I started on the rest.

I made my mother's while she was out of town for the evening. 😁

This one here I made for my Godparents.

When my uncle opened it he asked if the W stood for Wow.

Haha!

I even got Samwise to help with one!

He doesn't like pictures.

This last one was for his mother as well.

A close up of the one for my grandma W.

And the one for my grandma K.

I always find it fascinating how you can go from almost nothing,

 to something half decent.

Probably one of the main reasons I love art.

One project I worked on the week before and a few weeks after Christmas,

were these crotchet stockings.

I crotchet the main body of all three stockings.

The name tags were all cross-stitch.

Each stocking has an inside liner made from fabric.

Each had a slightly different theme to them.
