I don't know about you but I love doing Christmas projects. Little things that will make the house sparkle just a little bit more, or make one more memory. Today I am going to share two things with you! I hope you like them!
The Christmas countdown of awesomeness!!! This thing was super easy to make!! I literally got a picture frame. Make sure to get one with glass and not plastic!! Cut my red background scrapbook paper to size, and got pretty sparkly scrap booking letters. stuck the letters to the paper made a white cut out framed in black and left that blank. Close up the frame and your done!! Seriously that easy. Just write with try erase marker on the glass over the white area. B loves watching me change the days as they dwindle down and it gets closer to Christmas!!
The second project I did was this Santa key! I love the idea of the key especially for those children that are very intuitive about how all the Christmas "magic" works. I got this key in the Jewelry aisle in Michael's. Then all I had to do was type out the poem, but a boarder around it and stick it to the tag. I also bought tags at Michael's plain white tags with a hole punch at the top. Then a ribbon went though the hole punched area so the key is able to hang on the door knob. I then made a bow and attached it and it was done. Super easy cheap and it actually turned out pretty cute! We leave it on the inside of our door for now, but Christmas eve it will be on the outside of the door so Santa can use it!! Below I am going to put two poems!! I chose to use the first one, but the second one is also really cute! The second is also better for families that have chimneys but still would like this as a decoration in your home. I hope you enjoy!
Santa's magic key
Our stockings hang upon a wall.
We have no fireplace at all!
You see the problem is quite clear.
Santa, how will you get in here?
We heard a legend. Is it true?
Of magic only you can do.
We’ll leave out any plain old key,
and mark “Santa” so you can see.
Your magic makes the key fit right,
so you can get inside at night.
Thank you Santa, here’s our key.
The milk and cookies are on me!
option #2
'Twas the night before Christmas
I'm excited as can be
This year my Mommy told me
About a very special key
You can shimmy down the chimney
Or tiptoe through the door
Use the magic in this special key
To find cookies, milk and more!
Please feel free to post comments or questions! Look forward to hearing from you all :)
