This year I am on a budget for the holidays, so I had to get creative. I decided to make these primitive looking snowmen made from empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls, and they turned out adorable! These would make a perfect gift for a neighbor, teacher, friend, anybody really.
These snowflake picture frames are cheap and easy to make! They would be an awesome gift, just make sure to make some for yourself too! =)
Let me walk you through how to make them; step, by step.
What you will need :
* Glittery snowflakes (I bought mine at walmart,
Every year when I go to decorate there is a fight between me and the lights… and the lights usually win. Not anymore! While fighting with my lights I saw some empty toilet paper rolls that I have saved for crafting and a light bulb went off! Why not use empty paper towel rolls to store my lights?
These little luminaries are easy to make and they look beautiful, no one will believe they were once toilet paper rolls! Here is a step by step guide of how I made them. =)
What you will need:
* Empty toilet paper rolls
* Light blue and white paint ( I got mine at walmart in the craft section for .50 cents )
* White glitter ( I think white looks the best)
* Snow Flake punch ( I purchased mine from Michael’s)
* 2 Foam brushes
* Old news papers to work on
* Mini Tea Lights ,
When I was a kid my mom used to make these DIY faux snowballs all the time. She is pretty crafty, so that’s where I get it, lol! I love this faux snowball project because there’s so many different ways you can decorate with them!
The other day my mom went shopping and came home with the coolest thing ever!, a gift bag made from an empty flour bag. With the holidays just around the corner I know I am going to have plenty of flour and sugar bags the I normally just through away… not anymore!
Primitive Easter eggs!
