It’s that time of year when I am looking for Homemade Christmas gifts for friends and family! While the traditional fruit cake isn’t horrible, I like to give something a little….nicer!

I was able to find these wine glasses in a 4 pack at walmart for $5, the Dollar Tree also sells them.  I got this jar also at walmart for about $3.  The chalkboard paint was a little pricey at $8 but I barely put a dent in the can and I painted 4 glasses and 2 jars.  I now have it for future projects.  This is very affordable and makes incredibly cute, personalizable gifts!

You could fill the jar with your favorite cookies, cookie mix, homemade cocoa mix and more! Watch this video about how it was done!

We are getting a jump start on Homemade Christmas gifts this week.  If you are too… Print these new Michaels Coupons to save BIG on your next shopping trip!

Think about snagging supplies for Homemade Christmas Gifts

I got creative the other weekend with the burlap.  My daughter and I were busy making Fall Decorations for the house.  I decided to dress up our Hurricane Glasses for the season.

We just cut 1 –2 inch wide strips of burlap.  There was some paint on ours because of a previous project, but it added to the character of the burlap.

I just grabbed a string from the center of the burlap and gave a gentle tug.  This causes the burlap to ruffle.

I continued to pull and let the burlap ruffle.  I just curled the ruffle around and hot glued it. into the rosette.  I hot glued a button to the center to add character.

I took a strip of burlap and wrapped it around the hurricane glass.  I glued it in place, then I hot glued the rosette to the center.

Quick, easy and inexpensive.  My mantle now looks complete for the fall!

Here are two great coupons for Michael’s! I have so many fall crafty ideas in my head this will come in handy!  Also great to stock up on those Christmas Crafts supplies too!

• 50% off any one regular price item – good from 10/7 – 10/10
• 40% off any one regular pride item – good from 10/11 – 10/15

These days every specialty store and daily deal site is selling eco friendly lunch products.  From reusable snack bags to reusable sandwich wraps.  These are great but the colors are usually limited and they are EXPENSIVE.   I got a small set for my kids from a daily deal site a few weeks ago, and was shocked at how simple the design was.

Knowing me, I hit the fabric store.  I saw that there was only straight line sewing involved and that this was a project I could tackle.  Here is what you will need.

• 1 Yard of Outdoor or Heavy Fabric of your choice
• 1 1/2 inch Velcro
• Iron & ironing board
• Thread & Sewing Machine

Start out by cutting an 18 inch square piece of your fabric.

Fold the fabric in even thirds and press with a hot iron so that the fabric is creased.

Unfold and fold in thirds the other way and press again.

Now that your fabric is creased you should see squares.  We want the finish product to be octagon shaped. You need to fold up the corner to make a triangle like this.  Press with the iron. Repeat this on all four corners.  Cut the fabric right on the fold leaving an octagon shape.

Now, here comes the part that I hate, but is necessary for a nice finished product.   Take each edge and iron a hem into it.  Fold it 1/4 inch and iron.  Then Fold it another 1/4 inch and press.  This is so when you sew it you have a nice finished edge.

Now sew all 8 sides of the octagon. This is just straight line sewing (My favorite). It only takes a minute.

This is what it should look like when you have finished. Now we are going to attach the velcro.

Cut a 3 inch strip of the loop side of the velcro.  We are going to sew it in the center of the patterned side, like this.

Now cut a 1 1/2 inch piece of the hook side of the velcro.  We are going to sew it to the center of the back side.  This picture gives you the best idea of the placement of both.

Once both pieces of velcro is attached you are done.

Here is how this sandwich bag works.

Place your childs sandwich in the center of the fabric.  This is also How it looks as a placemat.  When they open it they can just eat right off of it so their food does not touch the table.

Now Just fold both sides over like this.

Fold the Bottom up..like so.

And fold the top down to secure the velcro.

There you have a handy dandy sandwich bag/placemat that your kids will love!

These are machine washable however since it is coming in contact with your food you will want to avoid fabric softeners and fragrances.  You wouldn’t want to have those chemicals rub off.

So now that I am addicted to Pinterest I have all of these creative ideas that I want to do this fall.  Here are some coupons to make those projects more affordable!

Stop by Michaels with this printable coupon to save 50% on any one regular-price item.

Hurry, this coupon is only good on Saturday (9/3), Sunday (9/4) and Tuesday (9/6). There are a variety of exclusions, like books, magazines and engraved plates, so be sure to read the fine print before you head out to shop.

I was so excited to find this idea, and I took it and ran with it!  These are great for so many things.

• Chore Charts
• Menus
• Grocery Lists
• Calendars
• To Do Lists
• and More

All you need is scrapbook paper and a picture frame…that is it!  Well, and a dry erase marker.

Just frame the paper of your choice.  You could even frame a calendar and wipe it clean every month. The glass acts as the dry erase surface.  It works fantastically.  So far we have made the chore charts for each of the kids, and the menu and grocery list for the kitchen.

The best part is, it is so easy to change when their interests change…favorite color is purple instead of pink this week..no problem.

You can snag some really inexpensive frames from a thrift store or a yard sale, and paint the frame to match very easily.

This would even be a fun project for a girls birthday party.  Get smaller frames and let them decorate them before they pic out their paper background.  The possibilities are endless!

Hope you enjoy this great idea as much as we have!

You can find more easy craft projects here!
