Here is one of our crafts this year for Christmas. We colored our jumbo Popsicle sticks green, though you can buy pre-colored ones, then glued them together to make a triangle. Then used good old Elmer's glue to stick on all our lovely ornaments...pony beads. Katie made three, one is on our tree and two will be gifts. Notice the pattern she created? Like her non-traditional square at the top of the tree? Like I said, my girl is creative!
Here is another craft, more pony beads! This time with a pipe cleaner, which I cut in half so it would be a mini wreath. We also made some full pipe cleaner wreathes. Katie loved this craft. "It's like making jewelry momma."
Here is a craft idea I took off Pinterest. The whole time Katie and I were making our darling bird feeders I wasn't sure if they would come out ok. I was terrified we would have a major Pinterest fail. Fortunately, even though I did not fully follow the instructions, they still came out great! They made fun gifts and the birds seemed to like them (ours are already gone). Here's the link to our "recipe" for the bird feeders. I did quadruple the recipe, so we made A LOT of bird feeders.
