I have also being doing Minions-Making fridge magnets


and thinking of making some to put on wooden name plaques for doors too..Also being making other designs but Minions are my fav ATM.
I am rubbish at most crafty stuff-would love to be able to knit!
If anyone is up for swapping I would be up for it!

Love this thread! I'm so un-crafty more promised myself this year I'd be more hands on. Love the heart soaps and reckon I might give them a go!

Also want to do some homemade decorations, specifically for the tree. Any bright (easy) ideads anyone?!

For a reeeeeeally easy idea (did this with my DS who was 18 months last Christmas) you could buy plain baubles and decorate them with glitter glue, or paint pens.

Are you on Pinterest? I get so many easy Christmas decoration ideas from there!

A few candles setting. Can't wait until they are done so I can decorate and label up... Thinking of selling them? What do you think.. They will all turn out different shades of pink and red. The big one is jasmine for a birthday coming up and so is one of the smaller ones, then two are red Xmas scented ones.

Once I have finished them, I'll re post.. Should be Monday!

Oo these look pretty managable! Think I'll give them a go as just an extra little gift off the kids xx

Hey hun this is going to sohnd crazy but what do you type in search as I never find anything decent to make. Xx

On pinterest I tend to look at boards rather than separate pins. So in the search bar if type Xmas and it will automatically search for pins but I change that to boards so you can view a persons whole xmas board rather than just the ones that pinterest finds for you.

Did that make sense?!

I love these!!

I woke up this morning with the urge to get creative but have to wait in for a delivery...so using the resources in my house I am attempting to make a star shaped crayon
Collected all the scraps of crayons, theyv been melted and are now setting in a star shape mould, not as creative as you ladies but its something right?!
If it turns out half decent I might get some Christmas style moulds and make the boys a set of Christmas crayons each for their Xmas eve bags x

 

[Jaysmummy]

^^^ that's a good idea. Do they have to set in the fridge or just on the side?

How did you melt them?

Think I'm going to make some sweet cones for my 3 and my 2 nephews. I have the cellophane cones so just need some cheap sweeties from b&m

Only took an hour to be ready!

So I made it a little fat, could have probably made two out of that one and it has a funny delve in the top..good place to put your thumb though when your holding it. But as their only for a bit of fun for my own kids I'm pretty pleased and definitely going to grab some Xmas moulds and do some x

Melted in a plasc Tupperware tub in microwave, poured into a star shaped cookie cutter sat on a plate and then in fridge for about 40mins. Done!
