Glittered Snowflake Christmas Tree Ornament Made from Wooden Clothespins

How to make simple & easy DIY rustic clothespin snowflake ornaments with mini and regular sized spring clothespins - Awesome & cute wooden snowflakes covered in gold glitter. For kids or adults.

I have one more Christmas craft for you before I return to my regularly scheduled Christian inspiration. I love crafting and, while I try to keep my blog more in line with inspiration for healthy living physically, emotionally, and spiritually, I think that developing a thriving relationship with your kids is part of that emotional health, and crafting together is a great way to do that. Allie who is turning 8 in a week isn’t much for crafting generally, but Grace who is 11-1/2 loves it. She would happily glue and paint with me all day and all night, as … Read more

I have really gotten into pine cones this year, and I don’t know why. I don’t own a pine tree (or any conifer), and I don’t have a source for cones. I considered going to a local state park and “harvesting” pine cones (or would that be stealing them?) but I figured that was probably illegal, and with my luck, … Read more

I created this super cute little reindeer craft from a pine cone, thinking it would be perfect for my 8-year-old to make on a chilly and rainy December afternoon. I got out my trusty hot glue gun and all the supplies, and I invited her to come craft with me. “No, I don’t think so,” she said from downstairs. I sat with wide eyes, wondering what to do next. “Why not?” I called to her. “I don’t want to,” she said. “It will be fun. We’re going to make reindeer,” I urged. My 11-year-old emerged from her bedroom. “I’ll make … Read more

DIY Glittered Pine Cone Door Hanger Craft

Simple & easy Christmas decorations - This pretty door hanger uses glitter and pine cones with gold ribbon and jingle bells to make a rustic and unique holiday decoration. Even kids can make this Christmas craft!

Of all the cool and cute and interesting DIY pine cone projects I am posting today, I think this one was my favorite. Like my children, I love glitter and sparkles and, of course, jingle bells.

But then, Joe came home with a pretty live evergreen wreath, and we hung that on top of the ring and the bare ring didn’t matter anyway. Just keep that in mind if you’re going to use your door … Read more
