Super Saturday!

So I was asked to come up with some crafts for our wards Super Saturday. I had a hard time coming up with something that was cute and not too expensive. So here are the three crafts I came up with.
The first one is a temple name bracelet.  A few weeks ago I had gone to the Logan temple to do a session and I saw a bunch of ladies wearing these to hold their temple names.  They are super handy and cute. It took buying quite a few different things before I could find the perfect material for the plastic holder. I found some name badges on Amazon that were perfect. Then I cut it down to 2 inches.  I used my circle punch to punch a half circle on the top for easier access to the paper. The used my small hole punch to punch holes on each side.




The bracelet is a little wide on my wrist, but it isn't too bulky as to not to work with your temple dress.
The Christmas countdown board was pretty simple to make as well. I saw this here.  It looks like the snowflakes are vinyl, which I changed to a stencil. The wood is 12" x 14".  I painted mine red and green, but you really could do any color combination that you wanted. Then I cut out the chalkboard vinyl on my silhouette and also the lettering.


The Christmas charger plates were the easiest things that I did.  I bought the charger plates at Michael's for $2.  The I bought the Silhouette designs in the Silhouette store and cut them out.  Overall I chose really easy crafts that didn't cost a lot.  The cost for the the bracelet is about $3, for the countdown $7, and for the charger plates $5 each.
