Holiday projects

When I saw these metallic purple chargers at Michael's, I thought they were 'screaming' for vinyl for Halloween. The bat is actually orange and black, not yellow like it looks. I really need to get Meg to do my photos for posts. Anyway, after I put on the vinyl, it looked a bit plain, so I used a light mist of gold glitter spraypaint, and I love it!


Amy saw bats something like these on a craft blog, so we made them while Meg and I were in Vegas with Amy. We had a cutting party here the Friday before we went to Vegas, with me cutting, Amy sanding, and Meg keeping the kids happy. The bats have scrapbook paper on them, and fuzzy yarn is tied around the dowels. Three done in Vegas, one more to finish so we each have one.






The tree and snowman were also on craft blogs, but we did our own thing. We nearly finished 4 of each of these, just had to put on the finishing touches when I got home. I need to get a bigger house for all the decorations we are making! There were some other things we did when we were together, such as t-shirt painting and glass etching, using the Silhouette for templates. Amy or Meg need to post what they finished. Always another project to do, and something to post here.
