Snowman DIY
I wrapped yarn around the balloons, added modpodge several times, drying between each time. Once set, I used a pin to bust the balloons I then joined the two balloons together with glue. Allow to dry/set.
I tied a ribbon around the neck area. I added eyes, felt buttons, painted black for the mouth and belly buttons, with glue. I used an orange pom for the nose.
To complete, I inserted lights into the body portion and glued the battery case to the back of the body of the snowman.
Super easy and cheap to make. Everything was purchased from Dollar Tree.
Happy Crafting,

Candle Bulb Sticks
Dollar Tree DIY
This project was super easy to complete. Everything came from the Dollar Tree.
Materials needed:
—1 pack of the plastic champagne glasses. You will need 2 bases per candlestick
—2 packages of bulbs OR one of the larger set of bulbs
—black acrylic paint
—paint brush
—craft glue and hot glue
—2 battery operated candles
—2 skewer sticks
Directions:
I used the bottoms of the plastic champagne glasses for the base and top. I used a skewer to put the bulbs on. I took a lighter and warmed up the bottom of the bulbs and then just pushed the skewer through and out of the top. I removed the tops from the bulbs. Once I had all 3 bulbs on the skewer, I trimmed the skewer to leave only about a 1/2” for attaching the top base. I used craft glue and hot glue to secure the skewer to the bases. I let it completely set up and then I painted the bases black. Then just topped with the little battery candle.
Christmas Tabletop Decor
I completed this super cute project using all items from the Dollar Tree. You can use any Christmas decor you want to personalize to your liking.
I used 2 Christmas trees. I removed the base and then joined the ends together, attaching with zip ties.
I then used white Elmer’s glue and dabbled in the tree to create “snow” and let dry.
Now the fun part: place and glue floral, ornaments, trinkets and whatever else you may like.

Squidward Hat
My granddaughter wanted a Squidward Hat to wear with her costume this coming Halloween.
I made this quick and simple hat using a 5.0mm hook and worsted weight yarn. It was made with two stitches: single crochet (SC) and half double crochet (HDC).
My granddaughter squealed in delight when she saw it She loves it.
Happy Crocheting!!!!

Glacial Hat
Here’s my newest crocheted hat design - Glacial Hat!!! It’s super soft and I absolutely love the texture of this. I haven’t decided yet if I want to add a removable faux fur pom to the top yet.
This hat was designed using “I Love This Yarn” from Hobby Lobby and a 5.0mm hook.
The design utilizes the following stitches: single crochet, extended single crochet and half double crochet.
The hat was worked in the BLO once I completed my initial increase rounds.
Pretty, soft and very comfortable to wear.
And, here’s the matching keyhole scarf to wear with the hat…
Happy Crocheting!!!!
