Sparkling Snow Candles
Bedazzle your plain red or green candles by painting them with a coat of Mod Podge and then rolling them in Epsom salt.
Swirl Ornaments
This is a fun one to do with the kids! Get some clear glass round ornaments swirl a bit of vinegar inside to clean out any dirt and dust. Squirt different colors of paint inside and swirl them around by rotating the ornament. Let it drain, hole side down, into a plastic cup for 30 mins or more. Add the cap back on and you’re done!
Fabric Garland
Cut several strips of different kinds of Christmas-y fabrics. Tie the ends onto a long piece of rope, bunching them up as you go. Make it a long as you like!
Snowman Refrigerator
Finally, a reason to clean off the fridge! Get rid of old papers and photos and make room for Mr. Snowman! Cut shapes from craft paper for eyes, mouth, nose, buttons, scarf, pipe, etc. (Tip: do his face on the upper freezer part, and the body on the lower fridge part).
