100 Days of Holiday Inspiration-Felt Witch Hat-90 Days & Counting

100 Days Crafts, Gifts & More!
 
 
Continuing on with our 100 Days of Holiday Inspiration, today's craft is Felt Witches Hats.  These are so cute and can be used for so many different things.  They are mini in size, perfect for decor or for dressing up you daughter's baby doll.  (I've even considered trying to get one on my cat, if she'll let me!)
 
 
These little cuties can be purchased at Punch Place Plus in quantities of 5.  If you are having a Halloween party this year then you should consider stocking up on these.  Great to "make and take" crafts for guests or as party favors in general.
 
I decided to decorate one like my favorite Halloween treat: Candy Corn.  All you need for this besides the hat is some ribbon, DST (Double Stick Tape, also at Punch Place Plus) and any additional decorations (like the candy corn resin pictured below.)  Also, it's a good idea to heat seal your ribbon ends by running them quickly through a flame like a lighter or a candle.  Be careful not to singe them or catch fire.
 
(Note: The DST comes in handy for so many different crafts.  I use it all the time and a roll lasts for a long time.)

 
Next, line each strand of ribbon with some of the DST.
 
Now start wrapping from the bottom up, making sure to smooth out as much as you can.  Because of the cone shape the ribbon will not lay perfectly flat, but I really like the way it gives it more character.


 


The last thing I did was take my candy corn resin and affix it to the front with some hot glue.
 

Ta da!  I think it's a cute addition to our holiday decor.  At least for as long as it stays there.  Once dear daughter finds it, I'm sure it will end up atop a doll's head.
 

What do you think about my little candy corn mini witch hat?

Until Next Time...

G'nite!

100 Days of Holiday Inspiration 2013

Last year I started a series of 100 Days of Holidays and Inspiration and had a lot of fun with it.  I was really hoping to do one again this year, but, I am 12 weeks away from my due date (baby #3!) and I do not feel that I would be able to fulfill my duties of posting to it on a daily, weekly, or even monthly basis.  As you can tell, I've been rather scarce around here this year as it is.  This pregnancy has had a few complications along the way, but everything is looking really good right now.  I've been trying to maintain my focus on keeping myself healthy and preparing for childbirth. That being said, I did want to share with you all some great links and other subscriptions you can sign up for that will provide you all kinds of holiday ideas from fall through Christmas and New Years.  My favorite that I look forward to is the Better Homes and Gardens 100 Days of Holidays .  Some years you will see the same old things, but it's a great refresher....

Planning an Organized Home - Part 1 - Chore Charts

Image
I started a post on this a few weeks ago and started getting so far in to it that it was looking more like a book than a post.  So, I decided to break it down in to a mini series called: Planning an Organized Home It's a short, six part series that I want to share with you on how I started to get our home organized and in a better routine than we have had in the past.  The more routine, the less whining "why do we have to??".  It becomes a part of every day life for every one in the house. The first thing I worked on were chore charts: one for the kids and one for the parents.  While I have a pretty good routine for my own household chores, having it in writing and staring me down keeps me from falling off track so much.  I searched online for different printable and customizable charts, and ended up finding some pre-loaded with my ancient laptop under Microsoft Works.  If you have Microsoft Excel or Word, you can do the same thing.  I attempted ...

Organized Home: Spring Cleaning

Image
This week we welcome spring!  Depending on where you live, that may sound like a joke.  We had spring like weather this weekend, but this week we will drop back to freezing temps at night, and not much better during the day.  I think spring did a little too much springing forward last weekend.  😏 However, our spring break is coming up soon and what better time to do some spring cleaning?  For those of you that do not get a "spring break", have no fear: I have a plan for you as well.  Trying to make that spring cleaning list can seem so endless that you don't know where to begin, or if you even want to.  I always make a list that is unrealistic.  Like there is no way I can do everything possible on my list, and it just stays a list for months and months, until I finally give up and throw it away. Not this year. I have decided to simplify my list.  Well, simplify it after I have made that big, long, never-going-to-get-it-all-done-list....
