Coka Cola Reindeers

This is the easiest craft to make and it's so cool.
I used old fashion Coca Cola bottles to make reindeer. All you have to do is glue a few eyes on the bottles,a  red pom-pom for his nose if you want them to be Rudolph, any other color will be fine too.  Then twist two brown pipe cleaners around the bottle cap, to make them look like antlers. So simple to make.....I think they would make a nice gift also.
Supplies needed : hot glue gun, googlie eyes, old fashion Coca Cola bottles ( I bought mine at Wal-Mart), brown pipe cleaners
and red pom poms.


This is our table full of the crafts we made.
  I found my ceramic tree that my grandmother made me in 1984.
I cleaned it up and glued missing bulbs back on it. It's shinning brightly now.
My granddaughter made the felt Angel and the gingerbread men
My daughter made the gold bulbs with her families name on them. My daughter in law made the
Rudolph ornament which has my grandsons name and year on it.
We had so much fun.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Two Turtle Doves


Two Turtle Doves 
Christmas craft



I was excited to make these "Two Turtle Doves" ornaments for my Christmas tree. 
Here's how I made them: 

I used stiff white felt and I also used a sheet of silver felt with an adhesive back.
I goggled a printable dove stencil and used that to trace the dove out line.
I cut out the birds and the wings.

I found little tiny jems that I glued on for the eyes.
I cut the wings out of the silver sheet and applied them on the bird.
I then poked a hole and used some blue ribbon to hang on the tree.
This is such a simple craft but they look so peaceful, which works out well because :
"Peace" is my theme for this holiday season.
