Earth Day Thursday - Use What You Got

Found some old metal rulers in a friends garage-she didn't want them-I DID!

I've been sitting on them for a while now, just waiting for something fun and I decided to make a star.

This is a total "use what you got" project. So after hot gluing the rulers to form the star, I hit my craft supplies.

I found some wire and used that to create a hanger. I also found some mini clothespins to clip on too.

I used jute to tie on a few leftover jingle bells and I scrounged some mini vintagey papers to add some character.

I popped a little hang tag on there too after stamping it with a few stars.

Cute and unique scrounged decoration:) Just want everyone wants for Christmas-hee hee-maybe just me?!

He's Watching

OK, so what am I supposed to hang over my kids' heads once Christmas has passed?

I found this CUTIE santa

over at the Graphics Fairy and decided he was the guy I wanted to look at every day.He may be my favorite santa image ever.

I painted an old frame red, wrapped some gold tulle and then jute around the top.

I printed out, "I'm Watching" and hot glued a small metal thingey on the bottom.

I cut out the Mr's head and hung him with jute to the inside of the frame.

Are my threats the reason why my 4 year old wouldn't even walk into the mall because I mentioned Santa might be there? Does that make me a bad mom? Do I care if it's actually working?
