Snowman Screen

This in my third screen in a series I like to call:  I Got New Windows.  I saved all the screens from the old windows, all three of them.  I posted a picture of a pumpkin, a tree, and now...a snowman.  Again, the key is to pain your design with a trash bag or plastic table clothe underneath.  This allows the the paint to 'pool' a little and dry between the mesh so it's darker.  I also added the bow to a top, but I just used a safety pin to stick it on (from the back) so it can be replaced if necessary.

No Sew Penguin Shirt

I made this little shirt for my goddaughter.  Her gift this year is penguin themed.  Here is a free template for the parts of the penguins.  I just cut it out of some of my scrap fabrics.  I use some steam a seam (Warm Company Steam-A-Seam 1024 (Google Affiliate Ad)) (cut out to the same size of each piece).  

 I followed the directions to iron it onto the fabric, peel and then iron it onto the shirt.  I will hold on the shirt, though after washings you may have to iron it back down if the edges lift, or you can run thread along the edges to hold it into place.

Penguin Tic Tac To

I saw a little board like this at a craft store last year.  My pal Regan loves penguins, so I decided to give it a go....super easy, and a fun little travel-able tic-tac-to board.  I bought some little wooden eggs at Hobby Lobby and painted five up to look like penguins.  

 I sanded off the bottom so they would sit flat.

 My friend, Terry, gave me a little piece of scrap wood cut in a curvy pattern to look like a pond.  I sanded it and painted in white, then added a tic tac to symbol before adding some glue and glitter.

I found some little ice cubes in the craft section for the 'other' persons symbol.  

 They all fit nicely into a little pencil pouch

Snowman: Hand Gel

I saw this idea at CraftsandCrap and I had to try it out.  So simple, seriously.  Hand gel from the dollar store with the label removed....

She used foam and a hole punch, I used electrical tape, and a leaf sticker to cut out shapes for the snowman face to stick on the bottle. 

I hot glued on some buttons, and tied on a ribbon scarf, and I've got a festive hand gel for my classroom.  I'll do anything to promote the discontinuation of germ sharing!
