Beulah Bags by Heather

Handmade Valentines made on the sewing machine! I chose 3 different patterns of scrapbook paper and cut out hearts. I folded a piece of cardstock and sewed the hearts on the cardstock. Easy, handmade Valentine cards!

Today my students and I got into the holiday spirit and created some salt dough ornaments for their parents. I made the dough from this recipe and stored it overnight until I could get it to school. 1/2 cup salt 1/2 cup warm water 1 cup flour I rolled it out and we cut little medallions from it using a small Tupperware container (I'm resourceful). I used a "create your own stamp" kit from Wal-Mart to have them personalize the stamp to emboss their medallion to give it a personal touch.  Then poked a hole at the top for the string. I will cook these suckers at 250 degrees for about 2 hours or until they are hard all the way through.  I will then spray paint them gold or silver (whatever the students choose) and there you go! Easy, cheap gift for the kiddos to give! Of course I was inspired to do this by this pin on Pinterest! Shocking, I know! This was the inspiration picture for my project (mine look nothing like these...ha!)

Our simple holiday mantle!

I made these Pinterest inspired tree button ornaments to give as a gift to my teacher friends at our holiday party. I bought 8 count button packs (in various colors), gold stretchy ribbon and a pack of stars. I strung the buttons largest to smallest with the star on top and tied the two ends of ribbon together to make a hanger for the ornament. I could've added smaller buttons for a trunk but did not. Favor Envelopes: I created favor envelopes by cutting scrapbook Christmas paper into half, folding it and sewing it closed. Easy, small, and relatively inexpensive gifts to give (cute too)! Gotta love Pinterest!
