Ho Ho Holiday Crafts!!

I gave it a try on my own and came up with this wonderful celebration of the Sun for the upcoming Winter Solstice when the sun starts getting higher in the sky every day.

Blessed Solstice!

Ho Ho Holiday Crafts!!

I took a class at Eclectica .. a bead shop in Brookfield, and learned to make a Victorian style beaded ornament cover.

This is what I made in the class ... it took about 3-1/2 hours to make...

I had a great time making it.... I think I will be making these next year as my Christmas gifts!

Enjoy!

A cute little Hedgehog! I suppose if you color it differently the holly could pass for mistletoe and he could be parading around for kisses!

The sparkly snow is super simple to make.

Make your cut out, place clear packing tape on the inside of the card with the sticky side facing out and sprinkle with glitter!!

A few weekends ago I went to Dragonflies and Dreams and made some cards at the Make and Take. Really liked how these turned out!

The next few days of posts will be the cards from then! Happy Holidays!
