Easy Marque Light Christmas craft 6

Number 6 in my Christmas craft series isn't techinally a Christmas craft....

It is my version of Marque Lights.

It would look lovely made into words such as JOY or PEACE or any word....

The main thing is it is fast and easy something I find I need to do lately...

So here is mine all lit up what do you think.....Cute hey....

To make this you will need a wooden letter I got mine pre painted from typo...

A drill to make the holes duh...

hot glue gun...

Led light I got a packet from Big W that are battery operated for $4

My lights had 18 bulbs so I just measured  roughly 18 spaces around the letter and marked them I wanted them be as even as I could but I should have used a ruler ha ha still looks good though...

Drill your holes....

Now just put a bit of glue around the tip of the bulb and push into the hole the glue just helps keep the bulb in place..

Don't wory about the mess of wires just finishe glueing your bulbs in then you can glue down all the wires at the back to make it look neater...

And there you go another easy craft done...

What do you think of this ?

DO you think you will make one?

Of course you will they are great....

Have fun and more easy Christmas craft coming soon.

Chocolate tree for Christmas craft 5

Another fast Christmas craft today number 5 is these chocolate trees...

I wish I could take credit for them but I got the idea from the lovely Amie over at Make it Mamie

This one is really easy to do .

I used about 45 chocolates and   my tree was about 20cms high

You will needyour glue gun..

Chocolates like I said I used about 45...

Green tissue paper ...

Some stars to decorate....

A foam cone mine was about 20cm high but its whatever you want obviously the bigger the cone the more chocolates which can only be a good thing hey...

Cut your tissue paper into squares and glue your chocolate to the paper...

Then all you do is glue the tissue paper to the cone and go around in rows.

The paper is really just a decoration to hide the gaps..

Here the first row is done now keep going round and round...

I got some glitter card stock and punched out some little stars to use as decorations...

I just glued the stars onto the chocolates and put one star on the top....

This was my second tree I just decorated it a bit differently here its all up to you...

So hope you enjoyed this more fun Christmas craft coming up....

Lollie Tree Christmas craft 4

Who doesn't love a lollies tree....

Today's Christmas Craft 4 is my favourite Christmas treat.

To be used at the family table or given as a gift either way they are quite easy to make..and fun to eat..

These trees are good to make whether they are for Christmas like mine using mints or made in your favourite lolly as long as it is wrapped you can do this...

I made this one for Christmas Day at Kevin's  family's house...

You will need a stick cemented into a pot.

Kev found my sticks over in the park and just cut to size. He used some cement we had around the house.

A foam ball.I used one the size of a tennis ball now this size used almost 750 grams of wrapped mints.

Wrapped lollies we have a wholesale shop near us where I bought a kilo of these mints and like I said I used about 750 grams...

And how could I forget this a glue gun and glue sticks...

Start gluing the lollies onto the ball close to the stick.You just glue the little twisted end piece and then push it on the ball...

Keep glueing till you come back to where you have started from...

See its easy you have just finished your first row..

Now just keep glueing the lollies on around in rows

and rows and rows ....

Till you reach the top now just squish them in where ever there is a gap..

TA TA you are finished....

Well almost...

I like to decorate the tree so I added a Santa ornament I had and glued it in and put in some tinsel and a bow....

Now your finished....

There you go a Christmas Tiopary Lollie Tree to enjoy...

Candy Garland Christmas Craft 2

Today we made a candy garland....

Talk about easy even the LM made one...

You will need

String.
needle.
red and white beads- I bought a jar of red and white mixed beads in Spotlight.
red felt.
white felt.
glue sticks...

 Cut your felt into strips my were about 1cm wide.....

 

To start off cut a long piece of string the length you want your garland to be...

Thread a bead to the end and double knot it...

Now thread a few beads onto the string add as many as you want...

Get your felt and with the red side on the bottom fold it around to make a candy...

Now thread it onto  the string...

Don't worry about any extra felt  you will glue that down later ....

Repeat making your candy then threading it onto the string then putting more beads on until the end..

When you have finished your garland end it the way you started with a bead and double knot it...

Now cut off the extra felt and using your hot glue stick it down to tidy it all up...

I made mine about 12 candys long...

The LM did really good at making his...

Hope you enjoy making this garland..
