Blogmas Day 9 - Ugly Sweater Cookies

'twas the ninth day of Christmas when I showed you the super cute sweater cookies that my friends and I made.

First, I made the cookies. I used Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, that is already made (it made it so much easier!). I rolled out the dough and cut out as many cookies as I could with my sweater cookie cutter. I ended up using all the dough. After they were all cooked, I separated the good ones and the ones that looked like pancakes. Now they were ready to be decorated!

You can see that I got my friends to decorate the cookies with me, it was really fun and I think that they turned out great, and they tasted great! Keep checking back for more posts because theres only 3 days left of Blogmas! Comment and subscribe for emails, and Happy Holidays!

Blogmas Day 8 - Santa's Reindeer Roster

'Twas the eighth day of Christmas when we all made our own reindeer roster.

First you need to paint/stain your wood -you could use a piece of plywood or something like what I've got which I bought at Michaels. Then write out each reindeer's name, I used a paint pen but you can use regular paint or just stick on letters. Now, you're done!

Now, just hang it up! I think the best way is probably with command strips, which is what I will probably use.

Hope you enjoyed this and will go out and make it! Don't forget to comment and subscribe for emails. Also, check back tomorrow for another post, only a few more until the 12 Days of Blogmas is over!!

Blogmas Day 7 - Hand Painted Garland

 'Twas the seventh day of Christmas when you painted your own canvas ornaments.
These can be made into ornaments or a garland type thing, like what I did. Enjoy!)

​What you need... mini canvases paint twine/string paint brushes

Now you paint whatever you want! Here is what I did to give you some ideas.
Once they're dry you can either add a loop with twine/string to make it an ornament or put all of them on a long piece of twine and make a garland. Its up to you!

Hope you are enjoying Blogmas so far!! Check back tomorrow for another post and don't forget to comment below and pin this post! Sign up for email updates to get sneak peaks at what is going to be up soon. Happy Holidays!!

Blogmas Day 6 - DIY Gift Bag

'Twas the sixth day of Christmas when you learned to make your own gift bag!

1. Cut your wrapping paper of choice to  double the length (height of bag) and width  that you want you're bag to be. 2. Fold the paper in half horizontally. 3. On the edge that is not creased, fold the  edge towards you a little bit to create a  smooth rim.

4. Now, fold the edges in and tuck one side into the other. Tape it down.

5. Fold the bottom down and crease it.

6. Now, unfold the bottom that you just folded in step 5 and open it by folding the edges down into triangles.
7. Lastly, fold the edges of this down (shown in 2nd picture) and tape it.

​8. Now, open it up and add some handles, I made mine out of ribbon but they sell handles at some craft stores.

Only 7 more days until Christmas!! Hope you are enjoying the posts so far, but trust me there are a few coming up soon that are really cute!! So sign up for email updates, I'm sending my first email this weekend!! Also PLEASE comment what you think and contact me if you have any questions!
​Thank you and Happy Holidays!!

Blogmas Day 5 - Candy Cane Wreath

'Twas the fifth day of Christmas when you made a new, fun wreath.

What you need... Cany canes twine a bow or ribbon cardboard ​glue

First you need to figure out how many candy canes you need and I recommend laying them out first.
Once you do that you can cut a circle out of cardboard and put LOTS of glue on it, then arrange the candy canes on the circle like how you'd like it.
Now, cut out a smaller circle and put lots of glue on it also. Put the smaller circle on top of the points of the candy canes. Put a heavy object on top to hold still. Let dry over night.
Now, you can put a bow on top of it or wrap it with ribbon like I did to hide the cardboard.
Lastly, tie it off with twine and hang it up! Enjoy!
