Last Christmas, I made several gifts from sculpey clay, including these chalkboards. The dog bone ornaments were one of my favorites because they were simple and inexpensive, but sentimental, celebrating the dates my sister-in-law took home her puppies. It's kind of like a "Baby's First Christmas" Ornament, but for fur babies, instead. Supplies **All Amazon Links are Affiliate Links.

Clay Handprint Ornament
So, how many of you already have your Christmas tree packed up? Ours is still up - I love having a Christmas Tree up and like to enjoy it a couple weeks into January. One little ornament hanging on our tree is this gift that I made for Mike. It was one of his Christmas gifts, so I couldn't share it before Christmas. I've been making a lot out of clay lately {like this chalkboard and these number tags} but this might be my favorite little craft. Using Sculpey Clay clay, I rolled out a ...

Clay Number Tags
After making a clay chalkboard several weeks ago, I had some leftover Sculpey Clay {affiliate link}. This box of clay has gone a long way -- I've completed four different projects and I still have some clay left. One of the tough things about moving is trying to figure out how to organize everything in a new place. You can probably expect lots of organizational projects from me to kick off 2014 because we'll be in our new place. We have some handmade labels in our entry way that I made ...

Make a Clay Chalkboard
Back in July, Erica included this clay chalkboard from Kirsten in her Kick Off Friday roundup. I loved the idea, pinned it and -- 4 months later -- I did it! Kirsten explains how she went about creating her chalkboards; but I had never worked with Sculpey clay before. I learned a few things along the way and switched up a few things as well. The supplies were pretty simple, and I had most of them in my craft stash already. Supply List: Sculpey Clay {I bought a 3.75lb case ... Read More about Make a Clay Chalkboard

2016 DIY Advent Calendar with Scripture
We made a DIY Advent Calendar with Scripture Verses back in 2012; but it was time for a little update. Our Advent Calendar includes both ornaments and scripture -- an ornament to hang on the tree each day and a Bible Verse{s} to read as a family. This wasn't changing because it is a precious Christmas tradition; the packaging is just getting a revamp. **Amazon Affiliate Links are included in this post.

DIY Baby’s First Christmas Ornament
I love to give -- and receive -- special Christmas ornaments. Our tree isn't color coordinated and it doesn't have a theme... but it is filled with meaningful ornaments. Hanging ornaments on the tree becomes a time of storytelling. "Mommy got this angel her first Christmas." "Daddy and Mommy got this ornament in Disney -- before we had you!" "Nana made this ornament for you." etc. Each ornament represents memories, vacations or family and friends; which creates a tree that is so much fun to ...

Vintage Christmas Light Wreath
If you are a fan of vintage items, I think this easy craft project will be right up your alley. I found a set of vintage Christmas light bulbs a few years ago at a thrift shop -- and finally put them to good use by making this wreath. My mom was here over the weekend and we did several crafts {including more sculpey clay projects}. This vintage Christmas light wreath is one that I had been putting off for awhile; because I just wasn't sure how to attach the bulbs. Well, it turned out to ...
