Ornament Tutorial

Reindeer Ornament

Materials:
clear glass ornament
Pledge Floor Care 
brown glitter
black paint
red button
hot glue
22 gauge brown wire
ribbon


Glittering the Ornament
Remove the top of the ornament. Glitter the inside of the ornament with Pledge Floor Care and brown glitter. Squirt Pledge Floor Care into the inside of a glass ornament and make sure the entire inside is coated. Drain liquid and add glitter while turn ornament. Coat the inside with glitter and empty excess glitter. 


The Eyes & Nose
Using black paint, paint two eyeballs about 1/3 of the way from the top. Use hot glue to glue a red button 2/3 of the way down from the top. 


The Antlers
Using Brown 22 gauge wire, cut one 9" piece and two 5" pieces. Wrap the long piece around your finger and over under the wire once and make sure both sides are even. Using one piece of the short wire, fold it in half and twist and intertwine it with the long piece. Repeat on the other side using the other piece of short wire. Roll the wire into a curled shape and adjust to your preference. 


Finishing Your Reindeer
When paint is dry, replace the top of the ornament and place the area of wire you had around your finger around the neck of the ball and tighten. Use a dot of hot glue to secure. Tie a bow from your favorite ribbon and attach with hot glue.

Glitter Playdough

Homemade Gift Idea: Glitter Playdough

Here's a great, sparkly stocking stuffer to make for kids of any age. Take a look at how you can make your own glitter playdough: 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup salt 2 cups water 1 tablespoon oil 1 teaspoon cream of tartar food coloring (your choice) glitter Here's how you do it: To evenly distribute the color, add your food coloring to your water. Combine flour, salt, colored water, oil and cream of tartar in a large saucepan. Cook this mixture over medium heat until it turns to a playdough consistency. Stir constantly while heating. Take dough out of the saucepan and let it sit until cool. Once able, flatten the paydough on the counter and sprinkle with glitter. Thoroughly knead the glitter into the dough. Store in airtight containers. This recipe should yield up to 4 jam jars. Check out more pictures and the full post over at Tradewind Tiara's DIY Project: How to Make Glitter Playdough.

Cat toys

http://myfantastictoys.blogspot.com/2009/05/cat-toy-plushies.html

Choose a critter and cut out pattern from the paper. Pin pattern pieces to the felt and cut out accordingly. Sewing- A ladder stitch is recommended for best results. 

1. Start out by sewing bird belly to one side of bird half and continue up and around over head until you reach the tail. 2. Continue on with the tail in position until the end, knot, then finish the other side of tail. 
3. Now go back and finish sewing the other side of the bird belly. Wow you can see the bird taking shape! 
4. Sew about 3/4 of the bird base on leaving enough room open to stuff bird. Fill with fiber fill or a premium catnip, finish sewing base on.5.Now your ready for the eyes and wings. Knot thread to position of eye, slide on glass bead and go through to other side and slide on other the bead, pull tightly to create small indentation in felt. Go through a couple of times to securely fasten eyes. (You may choose to glue felt eyes on instead to prevent any injury to your cat.) Clip wings to give the illusion of feathers then fasten to bird body as indicated on pattern. 6. Stitch on bird feet. Voila your finished!! Now go make the other two critters, the same technique may be applied to those as well.
