Christmas Crafts
Nov. 7th, 2004 01:49 amI was driving down the street last week when I saw this itty bitty sign for a CRAFT SHOW!!!!! Of course I swung that car around and went to it.
They had a lot of items that were nicely priced, some not so nicely priced, but that is how it goes eh?
One of my favorite was....they had taken green christmas light bulbs (much like these ones: http://www.giftsgaloreltd.com/gfx/themes/christmas_lights.jpg but green...heh) and they had painted and strung them.
Although...the wine glass charms gives me an amazing ideal.
Anyways...I thought SCORE as I had bought about 9 boxes of them last year after Christmas for about a nickel a piece. I love clearance sales.
Anyways...I am going to paint them. All I have is acrylic paint, I can't image that will matter though as they will not get plugged in or heated up or anything.
I am going to make some wine glass charms though as my mom found this box of amazing wine glasses by the dumpster the other day. She use to make fun of me for picking up stuff that was left at the side of the dumpster, now...like with the glasses...she gets so excited.
Well anyways...it might be something a little simple to hand out if you got it laying around.
Also..I plan on making some of the mason jar thingies...with cookie mixes and hot cocoa mixes in them and such. How simple and tasty eh?
There use to be a site with tags on them, but I forget what it is now.
Also. If I wanted to make jewelry out of gummy candies, what would I seal it with? With clear nail polish be okay, or do I neeg something more expensive? LOL.
