Melted Snowmen Ornaments and a Ho Ho Ho Sign
My cousin Martha is one crafty Nana. Over Thanksgiving weekend she and her grandchildren spent an afternoon making Christmas gifts for the children’s teachers.
They took a piece of wood and painted it and decorated it with the words “Ho Ho Ho.” The children got to choose the color they painted the boards and the lettering.
Martha and granddaughter Madi working on her craft.
They also made melted snowmen ornaments using coarse sea salt, peppercorns for the eyes, buttons and an orange triangle cut out of construction paper for the nose. The ornament is cute but Madi is cuter!

Handmade gifts are the best because they come from the heart …

Yes I have made crafts with both my children and grandchildren. One I remember and still put on my tree is an egg carton cup with a pipe cleaner as the handle and the bell.
