Thumbprint Snowmen Ornaments

This week's great idea comes from Christy Rawls (KissyLiz.com) who happens to be mom to one of my grandsons!  

 For grandparents and parents of little ones, wouldn't this be a great way to chronicle your holidays together?

These are snowman thumbprint ornaments!  Here is Christy's description:

"Super easy to do. Just thick white paper (I put mine on wooden ovals that I picked up at [a local hobby store]), thumb prints, felt tip marker and some clear con-tact paper to cover it up with when it's done so that hopefully these will last a while. Then glued ribbon loops to the top. Wish I had thought of this when [my son]was itty bitty and I could have made one each year!"

Adding to Christy's instructions I would probably pick up a stamp ink pad if you don't already have one and try some decoupage glue on a few.  Even a snowflake stamp or some stickers might be fun!

Thanks, Christy! 

Upcycled Sweater Hats

In my previous post I showed you how to make a hat from an old sweater.  Here are some more examples of what you can make with a sweater and about an hour of your time!
