magazine monday: christmas ideas, 2010

this is one of the bazillion
special editions that
better homes & gardens
does during the year...

often they are kind-of
hit & miss for ideas
but this one is bursting with sweet stuff...

a lot of them use ordinary craft items to
make super cute things...

popsicle sticks:


felt...


repurposed sweaters...
(the stockings)


a screen door...
(sooooo cute)


shoes as goodie bags
& old fashioned cross stitch...


buttons, yarn & more felt...
(obviously inspired by the incomparable princess lasertron :)



pipe cleaners...



& a little more felt...


& my favorite:
clay...


sculpey is on sale at jo-ann's this week
i'm going to stock up so we can
have a snowman making party in november...
i just love these wee sweeties :)

time to get started on holiday projects...
it's the most wonderful time of the year
:)

Great ideas. Some look like waaaay to much time for me. I like quick and easy, most of the time.

thanks and hugs

Emily, so glad you liked the 2010 Christmas Ideas issue. I was the art director involved on this one; we had fun putting it together!

In case you're interested--I created those lil' snowmen cuties out of polymer clay for the story. :) I sell them now on etsy, here's my shop:
