crafts

So now that Christmas is over I can post some of the crafts I created for gifts this year.  

ok so the first one i'm going to show is a picture frame I painted and gave to Jarrod as a gift, I got this frame at a thrift store

I finished with cutting out cardboard/scrap book peices of the states that we are from and little hearts from where we lived.  I thought it was cute, and he liked it :)

I also made a homemade snow globe, here's how to make it:

First you need a mason jar, distilled water, glycerin, glitter, and epoxy.  

Once you have all of your supplies find what you want to put in the snow globe, small little ornaments I think would work best, i used little frogs which took awhile for them to stick.  It also takes epoxy quite some time to dry, so for best results let it sit over night so that you know it's dry.  once everything is all set and glued fill mason jar with distilled water, glycerin, and glitter, you only need a little bit of glycerin, it just helps prevent the glitter from falling too quickly.  

and this is the final result.  :)
