How to make Christmas Themed Resin Planner Clips

I love to make little embellishments, and resin and planner clips just seem like a match made in heaven!!  So I pulled out some fun little molds that would work for a holiday theme, plus I made a few of my own molds in the shape of a snowflake!!

Here is a video on how to make your own molds plus also create your own custom resin pieces with dyes and powders.

I first start with making my own mold for snowflakes.  I pushed a metal charm into the Amazing Casting Products Mold Putty and made a few of these.

I then started to pour various pours of Amazing Clear Cast Resin dyed with the liquid dye in Blue and Powder in Pewter and Gold to make some fun shapes.   I also used a clay mold to get a few other shapes.

This skate is one of my favorites as it had the gold at the bottom, but then I changed to colors of the resin with the dye to get the blue on top.  So fun!!

I also love this effect, I dusted the mold with the Gold powder and then poured the blue dyed resin into the mold and mixed it up with the stir stick.  It looks amazing from front where the gold dust was placed.

Now look at the back,  love this side even better!!  Not sure what I am going to do with this gem, but I am saving it for something!!

For most of the resin pieces I turned them into planner clips by gluing them to paperclips.  Look how fun they all are!

The rest of the clips I made are showed in the video, I made over 15!!

"Out of this World" Twinchies - DIY Puffy Stickers

I got an amazing package from Lawn Fawn filled with out of this world stamps and pretty watercolor papers (supplies linked below).  I just loved these little stamps and they were just beckoning me to make them into some sort of embellishment, so I put my thinking cap on and thought why not clay and paint them, and boom with the help of my Xyron Creative Station they turned into DIY Puffy Stickers!!

Now that I had made these fun puffy stickers, I needed to use them on something, so why not a twinchie.  A twinchie is a little card, embellishment, or mini ATC that is a fun way to make something new.  Here is the fun part, you can still use it for other purposes, like a card, tag, mini book, PL page, scrapbook page, and so much more.  Here is a video tutorial on how to make the puffy stickers and the twinchies!

Clay Easter Egg Coloring Kids Craft

March is National Kids Craft Month so why not have some fun with you kids and do a craft!!  Now as much as I craft and love to get messy, my kids are just too young and really I just do not have the patience for "paint" projects with my kids, so I came up with a fun air dry clay craft that the kids can color - clay Easter eggs!!!

I cut the Makin's Clay air dry clay out into an egg share, some I left plain and some I textured before letting them dry.  Then I let the kids lose to color to their hearts content, I even had fun coloring one for myself!   Here is a video tutorial on how to make these fun eggs!

We even left some egg un-colored to pass out to our friends for them to color themselves!!  The kids are all excited to pass them out once they fully dry out.  Here is the eggs my kids made.

Any colored markers would work on these eggs, and if you are wanting to paint, they take paint too!!  So get out the craft for you kids, really it does not take that much time at all!!

 

Thanks for stopping by!!
