$2 Tutorial - Sealed with a kiss!

How cute is this little Hershey Kiss holder? It holds 4 hershey kisses, but can be adapted to fit more or less. This cute little seal stamp has a scarf and santa hat! This would make a great stocking stuffer or treat to hand out. If you would like to make one, I can show you how! Remember that you can click on the photo to see a larger image.

No, I haven't forgotten about all of you in blogland...

Sorry for not posting everyday lately, but I have been so busy with Kalyn's schoolwork and I have been cleaning all day to get ready for my candle party tonight for Peter and Charity (almost) Dublin. I am so excited about candles now :) I am thinking about signing up to make my own  candles and adding that to my list of available items...the wheels are turning! I have about 6 decorative boxes that I have already made that would be perfect for holding all of the candles. Today's $2 tutorial would hold a 4 oz. candle perfectly :) The candles are only $6 at that size, and they burn for 20-40 hours, depending on how long you leave it lit at one time. Anyway, back to the tutorial...this is a pumpkin basket/box, and would also be cute with a little grass and some candy corns, or pumpkin candies. Let me know what you think!

Thanksgiving Gift Bag - $2 Tutorial

I have been swamped over the past few days so I haven't been able to post anything recently. For today's $2 Tutorial, I have a bag that I made with my cricut. In case you didn't already know, I can help you with party favors and gifts for all occasions. This bag was done at my Treat Bags class in August. Enjoy :) Sign up for your tutorial by clicking on the Email Link on the sidebar.

Pumpkin Patch - Kid Friendly $2 Tutorial

My kids and my nephew had an awesome time today making their "Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch" today. They always like to play with my punches, so I created this little Pumpkin Patch picture for them to do with my punches. We used glitter, stamps, decorative scissors and lots of glue and paper. If you want to bring your kids in to make one, just click on the EMAIL ME link on the sidebar to sign up for your kid friendly tutorial.

$2 Tutorial - Gift Jar

Okay, Friday's tutorial is a little late :) I have actually been scrapbooking my heart out for the past couple of days. I printed some photos on my home computer thinking that it would save me some $$, but I am completely disgusted with the quality of the prints, so I am going back to my method of uploading them to 1 hour at Target. That has kept me pretty busy! I have just started to edit my photos before uploading them so hopefully they will not need as much cropping. I am working on some scrapbooking pages to upload and show soon!

Anyway, on to today's tutorial (well, yesterday's but who's counting?) I cleaned the label off of this jar and decorated it up for fall. Too cute! Not over the top or anything, but it would be great for a jar soup mix, or some type of cookie mix for gift giving. I am trying to give a taste of all holidays here :) Let me know if you are interested in learning how to embellish your cans and jars by clicking on the Email Me link on the sidebar. Thanks!

$2 Tutorial - Small Gift Bag

Today's tutorial is for a small gift bag. The base measures about 2 x 3 1/2, so it would be perfect for holding a votive candle, small party favors, or a little candy treat. I also have several gifty type poems that would be great to include inside. Of course, you could change the color scheme and outside decor on the bag to fit your needs.

$2 Tutorial - Snowman Kisses

Happy October 1st Everyone! Today officially begins when you can begin taking the $2 Tutorials. I hope that you like the ideas that I am posting here everyday. Please feel free to leave a comment on your favorites!

Today's tutorial is for the Snowman Kisses Poem and treat bag pictured below. I have seen the traditional snowman poop poem over the years, and I prefer this one. You could also use white chocolate chips, Hershey kisses, or yogurt covered raisins as a substitute for the marshmallows.

$2 Tutorial - Monogram Keychain Notepad

My $2 Tutorial for today is for a cute monogram key chain notepad. These would make great little gifts for the people in your office. You can customize them with their monogram and inside is a little post it pad. It is refillable, too. Haven't you ever needed a piece of paper to jot yourself a quick note or leave a quick message for someone else? Now you will never have to search for scratch paper again! Just grab your keys (hopefully they don't get misplaced as easily as mine do) and write your note and you are on your way. You can also make these in any holiday theme or color scheme you'd like. The monogram is just a suggestion! Click on the Email Me Link on the sidebar to reserve your spot for the tutorial. Remember, all supplies are included for these tutorials. Once you learn how to make one, you can just purchase the additional supplies you need to make more. (Or you can use your own stash at home.) Hope you are all having a great Monday :)

 

Water Bottle Bling - $2 Tutorial

This is one of my favoritest things to make :) I think that it's adorable! It's a 16.9 oz water bottle cover/drink mix holder.  You can customize it with a monogram, yourfavorite team colors, or for any holiday simply by changing out the color scheme.  It would be also be great to give out to teachers or to the parents at your kids sporting events.
