Newborn ornament keepsake

What you'll need:

•big plastic or glass (I used plastic) ornament. This is not your standard size ornament it's a little bigger. I found these at walmart for .98.

 

•Paint Pen/Sharpie Marker

 

•Newborn hat, bracelet and a picture cut into a small square.

How to:

•on one side of ornament write babies name and birth info. Let dry.

 

•stuff the ornament with the hat first and then add the bracelet and picture to the opposite side from the baby's name and info. 

 

•Arrange the bracelet and photo how you'd like and hang on the tree.

 

I love this because otherwise these items would be hiding away in a box all year. Now, these items are on display once a year and adds a special touch to the tree.

Monster Door

Once again I'm back at the crafting. Last night I came across ways to decorate your door for Halloween. I didn't want to go out and purchase stuff so I used what I could find around the house. 

•tissue paper

•scissors

•tape

•cut strips of tissue paper for the hair

•cut circles out of 2 different colors for the eyes(plastic plates would be great but we didn't have anything sturdy enough to keep them up)

•used the black to cut out the mouth pieces and the eyebrows.

•taped the pieces together and then taped up on the door

This was basically free since I used items I already had bought for other reasons. The kids enjoyed helping me and they really liked the outcome. They liked it so much they wanted to take a picture last night but I told them to wait until morning when they were dressed for school :)
