Finger printed giftcards

We made there cute gift cards for A's teachers last night.
I cut 7x11 cm rectangles to make the cards, and A dipped his ring finger and thumb in acrylic paint (we practiced with an ink pad to work out which works best) to make the snowmen. Afterwards, he drew faces, arms, feet ect on the snowmen with a black marker, and I painted on the orange noses. The one in the middle is everyone's favorite!
We look the idea from Fiona Watts' wonderful 356 things to make and do book which we both love so much!

FELT CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
I made over a dozen of these as gifts. It looks even better with a green dotted ribbon.

When I first went to the fabric store they were out of all felt that had an even remotely Christmas-y color, so I ended up buying orange... originally I had the idea of making Matrioshka dolls, but as I was later informed this can also be mistaken for a -rather festive- baby Jesus.

I made this for a friends son who loves bunnies- can be reused for Easter...

This tree is meant to be a doorknob ornament. I got most of the buttons from my grandma's stash. Before she throws out old clothes she always removes the buttons.

Another doorknob ornament. I used transparent thread to the secure gingerbread man and only used regular thread for "icing" because the figure was so small.
