As night creeps up, these miniature characters are busying themselves for the upcoming holiday. They are trimming a tree in the background and a wreath and bells adorn the wall.

Colorful snowman, santa, teddy bear and assorted other characters greet you in the foreground. This novel little ornament or decoration would be lovely sitting on any table or mantle and it has a tea light at the end that you can turn on at night and can see the scene inside illuminated.

Mosaic Vase with Colorful Blooms, Make this beautiful bouquet for Mother's Day with a clean plastic 20 oz water bottle, cut up pastel paper, coffee filters, colored markers, wood dowels (3/8 in. ), Mod Podge, scotch tape.

Instructions for the mosaic vase are below:

1. Cut several sheets of pastel paper (or any pretty paper) in different shapes.

2. Lay them in front of you. It's best to put them in a big platter.

3. Starting on one side of the bottle brush the Mod Podge liberally. Start putting the pieces of the paper in any fashion you want. Smooth any corners with the Mod podge.

4. Repeat that step for all sides of the bottle. When it's dry, go over with another coat of Mod Podge. It will have a nice shine to it.

Directions for bouquet are below:

Coffee filters (3 to each flower)
Colored markers
Paper towels
Scotch tape
Wood dowels 3/16 in.
Green paint

1. Take coffee filters at a time, coloring the top filter with colored markers with any design you want. Place a dampened paper towel on top of that. The color should seep through all 3 filters. You can go over with marker till color desired. Take all the filters and let them dry for ahwile.

2. While you are waiting, paint the dowels with green paint (any craft paint will do).

3. Put the 3 filters back together with same design and fold them in half, fourths, eighths.

4. Punch a small in the middle where you will push the wood dowel in. Push it in so that only 1 1/2 inch is visible at the top. Twist the filters good at the bottom and secure with scotch tape. Fluff the layers and you should be able to see the dowel in the middle of the filters.

When you get a bouquet (3 stems or more) put them in the mosaic vase you made and it will be the best gift ever for Mother's Day because it's from homemade.

Bunny in a Basket Centerpiece , I had the stained glass holder and I had a great idea to incorporate the centerpiece I had in mind with it. It looks great with a bunny in a basket template I printed and colored with markers. Then flowers are made with pastel paper and the stems are green flexible straws. I put a piece of corrugated cardboard to fit inside of the holder and made holes in the cardboard to hold the pole that holds the bunny template and the flower stems. Then I added Easter grass on top of the cardboard.

Clamshell containers with colorful looms, Colorful weaving looms were used to cover a clamshell plastic container. I used hot glue at different intervals pressing the loops on the container.

I took four loops of one color and made one long strand by knotting each loop to each other. Then continued to the next color and did the same with four loops of that color.

I left a little space at top so that the grass and the colorful eggs or any kind of treats would be visible, Holiday Project

Weaved Colorful Planters , These colorful planters would bright any porch, patio or balcony with their pastel hues of green, pink and blues. The base inside is a empty milk jug that was cut in half under the handle leaving 6 inches of the container left.

Then the weaved paper was applied with hot glued and the weaved paper grid was applied to the plastic container all around. The bottoms of the containers had different colors of pastel paper.

They would be great for any silk flower arrangement as well. Just put floral foam and moss inside and give as a present.

Beautiful Felt Poinsettas, Words can't describe these felt poinsettas that I made. I got the printable from a site I belong to and cut the petals from the paper. Then I traced them on cardboard to make templates.

The leaves on top are curled at the center and seed beads are at the center of the poinsetta. On the white poinsetta I went around with red glitter glue making a dash pattern on the bigger flower and on the leaves I put the glitter glue on the edges of the curled edges.

On the red poinsetta I lined with silver glitter glue on the border on the leaves and the bigger flower. On the bigger poinsetta I used white tulip puffy paint at the border using a dash pattern at the border., Holiday Project

Dancing Ghosts, These cute ghosts were a spontaneous thought when I doing other crafts. The idea that came to me and I just had to do these adorable ghosts. They are made from coffee filters and twist ties and black marker for the eyes. I took one of the filters and make a ball for the heads for the ghosts and put another filter on top of the heads. Take a twist tie around the neck once and make the arms with the same twist tie. The orange skirt I colored with orange marker and dipped with water so that the water will seep through the filter and when the filter was dry, the skirt was the bottom layer of the one ghosts. With the arms of the ghosts, join them in a semi-circle.
