Skiing Buddies

These cute penguins were made out of fruit cups (any brand) usually they come in (4-pack) that were inverted. The top cup was one glued to the bottom and the bodies were painted white and black to look like penguins. Then I painted on colorful scarves and sewed little caps from Christmas socks and the skis were made from pieces of cardboard that were drawn into a oval shape, painted and glitter was used for a shimmer effect. I really enjoyed making these "skiing buddies" as I call them.

Purple Penguin Ornaments

These penguin ornaments were also a hit with the kids. I cut out circles or rectangular shapes from the paper and glued down to cardboard templates and smoothed them down. Then I sprinkled deep purple glitter on one of them and sprinkled irredescent glitter on the others. I strung purple satin ribbon on the top and gave some to my granddaughter, nieces.

Adorable Snowmen Tags

Today I brought out my Christmas crafts from last so I that could see what I had and what I needed to finish or add to the collection.  Some of them I gave to gifts to people and they were so thrilled to get something handmade. 

 I had the cutest paper with snowmen and used it for gift tags.  I cut out snowmen from the wrapping paper and glued them on sturdy cardboard and on the other side wrote on the "to and from" signage and went around the border of the snowman with silver glitter glue.  I used my hole punch and added silver curling ribbon for the string.
