Popsicle Stick Ornaments

Leah wanted to make Christmas ornaments with me the other day so I thought for a few minutes then rememberer I have a bunch of Popsicle sticks in my DIY stash in our basement. Even mommies can still make a craft project out of a popsicle stick, LOL!

With the help of green markers, glitter glue, a star sticker and brown felt, Leah made her Christmas tree.

With a little white paint, buttons, an extra fine black sharpie marker, and green, orange and black felt, I made the snowman.

I'm very happy and tickled with the final products of both, super cute and great additions to our Christmas tree!!

LOVE Wall Hanging

Growing up, one of my favorite things to search through was an old container of buttons that my mom and I collected through the years. One trip home to Ohio, while at my mom's I found the container of buttons and started rummaging through it and gathered a large Ziploc bag full to bring back to Connecticut with me.

Once I got home, I put the bag of buttons with the rest of my craft supplies and forgot about it for a few weeks. One afternoon on Pinterest, I saw this super cute wall hanging and then knew the PERFECT buttons to use to make this!

I wrapped 4 approximately 5x7 pieces of wood with fabric from my favorite fabric store I picked up during my trip to Ohio. I the fabric to the wood with a hot glue gun then used a stronger craft glue to glue all the food together. The I nailed a sawtooth hanger on the back.

I glued the buttons onto the fabric with the hot glue gun (watch out with the super small buttons, LOL!)

This is my version, it hangs above our bed, a daily reminder to me the love I have for my entire family :)
