Christmas Ornament

So I wanted to make an ornament to give to all the primary children in my ward.  I wanted it to be simple and fairly inexpensive to make, so I went to my favorite place, PINTEREST!!!  I have to admit I am a little bit addicted to pinterest.  You all know you secretly are too!  I found this. I thought it was perfect, then when I got all the stuff I realized it was a little bigger than what I wanted.  So I tweeked it to fit the picture I had in my head.  I started out by going to Hobby Lobby and buying a few supplies.

I paid $3 for each of these and bought two packages.  I cut each stick into two pieces.  It was a little time consuming, but worth it in the end.  Then I hot glued the sticks into the shape of a stable.  It took 5 of the half sticks to accomplish this. 

Then I took the star sticker and took the back off and stuck it in the glitter.  I bought the stickers hoping it would save me time by not having to glue.  It worked out so well!  I was quite impressed when I was done.  I hot glued the star on the top and wrote with a sharpie "He is the Reason."  Then I cut some jute twine and glued it to the back of the ornament.

I used one full package of sticks and a third of the second package and got about 80 ornaments.  I didn't even use all of the stars, which is a bonus because they can be used for another project, YEA!  So I spent under $10 for the whole project.   

 

 

I have no idea what I am doing.

So this is my first attempt at blogging.  I don't consider myself a technical genius, but I'm no dummy either.  Blogging, on the other hand, is a whole new world to me.  So hopefully you can all bare with me.  I wanted to start this blog because my friend and I do a once-a-month craft day and we come up with some cute stuff and I wanted a place for it to go.  I also wanted to add other things as well.  We are both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and both have callings in the primary presidency, so I wanted to post things for others who may have similar callings as well.  Basically it's going to be a blog of whatever we to post.  Isn't that how most blogs are :)
