Crafting in the house

At Christmas every year I force my kids to do some crafts. The thing with making crafts with kids is you want them to make things you actually want to show. I think I did good this year. They made some fantastic things, and I love having them shown in our home.

Here's their wonderful angel candle holders

• Buy cheap candle holders at IKEA
• Paint them with glue
• Put on a sweet angel bookmark
• Quickly roll it in sugar (here you can blow-dry to faster get to the next step)
• Paint the upper edge with glue and dip it in silver/gold glitter
• Put in a tea light and light it - enjoy <3

I also had them make some cute mittens to hang in the tree.

• Cut a nicely patterned felt into two mittens
• Sew them together with easy stitches
• Glue on a crochet lace
• Thread a red ribbon through it and tie
• Hang it in you tree/nose/whatever

I think they are just supercute <3 My kids got lots of compliments from the proud mum. Aww, they did good. Now they are craft-free until Valentine's Day ;)
