12 days of Christmas {projects} - day 12...and a giveaway!!

Christmas Project #12
Jumbo Clothespin - Picture Holder

Day 12 is here! I actually can't believe that 12 days have gone by...it seemed so quick! My final project of this Christmas series is one that I made for my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. This is my second year of being a discussion group leader and I like to do a little something for them each month. Each of the ladies will receive one of these jumbo clothespin holders that can be used as a picture holder. I have also printed a picture of our group that I will stick on the clothespin before they arrive! (Let's hope that none of my group decides to read my blog before coming to MOPS this morning and spoil the surprise!)


Let's get started!

Find yourself a jumbo clothespin (I found mine at Michaels) and get out your Mod Podge. If you don't have any...you really need to get some! I pull out my big jar of Mod Podge for little projects here and there and I am always so glad I have some on hand.

Cut two pieces of DSP (I used retired Candy Cane Christmas):
1-1/8 x 3-5/16

1-1/8 x 1-1/16
Keep in mind that the clothespins you have or find may not be the same size.
I stamped the JOY ornament from the Delightful Decorations stamp set onto Whisper White card stock using Real Red ink. I punched it out with the Ornament punch.

Using a foam paint brush, brush Mod Podge over the top of the clothespin.

Lay your two pieces of DSP over the Mod Podge, smooth with your finger, and then brush another layer of Mod Podge on top. Set aside to let dry.

Adhere Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the ornament starting with the 2-Way Glue Pen...

Then generously sprinkle on Dazzling Diamonds glitter and shake off excess. Allow to dry for a few minutes.

Punch a hole in the top of the ornament using a 1/16" hole punch.

Cut a 10" piece of white floss and break into two pieces (3 strands each).

Thread through the back of the ornament and then thread to the front 2 Mini Jingle Bells.

These mini jingle bells are only available until January 3rd out of the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog. Aren't they so cute?

Thread a 10" piece of 5/8" Real Red Satin ribbon through the hole of the clothespin.

Tie into a double knot.

Thread the floss up through the red ribbon.

Tie the floss into a double knot and then make a bow. Trim the ends of both the floss and the satin ribbon for a completed look.

Add you favorite picture and count it all JOY!


I hope you have enjoyed these simple, but cute projects that are easy to recreate so that you are able to still do a "handmade holiday", but can also have more time during the busy Christmas season! I hope that you are able to bless someone with your talent and gift of creativity!

Now onto the GIVEAWAY!!!

My own creation on CPC...Teacher Survival Kit & BLOG CANDY!


It's time!! I finally get to share the project I created for Craft Project Central this month! I really wanted to come up with something that my daughter could give to her new teacher on her first day of Kindergarten to help kick off the year on a positive note and I came up with this "Teacher Survival Kit" box. The matching card is a great addition in helping your child’s teacher feel encouraged as they begin a new year. As a former teacher, I would have loved a little something like this to make me feel special on my first day! This little box would also be fun to fill with other little goodies, like different kinds of candy…making it the perfect sweet treat! The detailed step-by-step tutorial includes directions for creating the box, lid (created out of a window sheet), and inserts used as "dividers" for all the little goodies. It also includes a description/meaning behind each little item included in this "teacher's survival kit".

My creation is this month's BONUS project on Craft Project Central. All you need to do is subscribe to August (only $10 a month for 10 tutorials!) and meet one of the other bonus project requirements of either "subscribing to two or more months in a row, putting our badge/blinkie on your blog, or referring a friend and letting us know when they subscribe!"

And, guess what?

I'm giving away a FREE AUGUST SUBSCRIPTION to Craft Project Central to one lucky winner! All you need to do is leave a comment for each of the following three chances to win:

1) Leave a comment on this post before Thursday, August 25th sharing your favorite "back to school" tip, moment, tradition, excitement, etc.

2) You will get one extra entry, if you find another post that inspires you on this blog and leave a comment there. No need to come back to this post to tell me that you did that. I'll keep track.

3) Want ONE MORE chance to win? "Follow" my blog by adding your name to the left hand column under "Members" and click on "Join this Site". If you are already a follower, just leave me a comment. If you're new and just began following, leave me a comment, too. I will add wither one as an extra entry!

A random winner will be announced next Friday, August 26th!

P.S. I was sooooo sad to see one of my most favorite stamp sets Tart & Tangy retire in June, but Stampin' Up! didn't disappoint in the new catalog as they brought in a new possible favorite called Fruit & Flowers! This set includes the cutest little apple with a heart in the center as you see above in the picture of the project I created. What's even better? They have matching Designer Series Paper for this stamp set called Berry Blossoms!! How fun is that?! And, why not stock up on some of your favorite paper by taking part in this month's promotion...buy 3 packs of paper, get 1 free!!
