Thanksgiving Place Cards

by Kristen 1 Comment

A pretty place setting or using place cards is an easy way to make any meal feel special. Most of us only do this for Thanksgiving and other big holidays like Christmas and Easter. But the truth is, these little touches can make any night special. And best of all, it’s a great way to get crafty and use your imagination. Here are a couple of really easy Thanksgiving place card ideas.

I know that this picture is shown as a place setting for a wedding, but I love the idea of using a pinecone to create a place card for a family dinner. A fun project the kids can help with too and you can keep it rustic, or decorate the pinecone. You can even take this idea and switch it up for other holidays. What about gluing on some tiny beads or sequins to turn it into little Christmas tree name cards to use as part of the table setting?

Halloween Makeup Ideas

by Kristen Leave a Comment

Halloween Makeup IdeasHere are a few fun makeup ideas for Halloween.  These were created using LimeLight by Alcone’s Perfect Eyeliner.  Use a little eyeshadow for color and you can create some great looks for your next Halloween party.  You’ll love the look and feel of using makeup instead of face paint which can be uncomfortable and it can also clog your pores.

How to Make Crayon Candles

by Kristen Leave a Comment

Crayon Candles

What do you do with old crayons that break, or those crayons that get left behind in the box because your daughter will only use pink and purple? One idea is to turn them into candles. This is a great way to upcycle crayons, whether they are old or new.

Supplies for Crayon Candles:

Crayons
Microwaveable Clear Wax
Scented Wax (optional)
Candle Wick
Double Sided Adhesive
Glass Candle Holder
Paper Cups (like Dixie)
Toothpicks

How to Make Crayon Candles

1. Use double sided adhesive to place wick inside the candle holder
2. Remove wrappers from crayons and break up crayon into smaller pieces
3. Put crayon pieces in a Dixie cup (one color per cup)
4. Add clear wax and scented wax to Dixie cup
5. Microwave wax until melted (about 2-3 minutes)
6. Stir wax with a toothpick
7. Gently pour the melted wax into the candle holder. If you use multiple colors in your candle, you need to let each layer dry completely before adding next color.
