"I had my children make these Glove Melted Peppermint Ornaments why back in the 80's . They were so much fun to make, and the kids had a ball decorating them for their own. We used a basic decorators icing on ours and the kids enjoyed eating them on Christmas day. I forgot all about these so now I have to have the Grand kids make some. Thank you so much for sharing this free Christmas craft."

"Oh wow, these Sparkling Gems DIY Ornaments are beautiful!! I love this idea of making the gems into ornaments the way she did them. Sounds so sweet. I have a lot of gems I got from my grandfather that I use to make beautiful ornaments for my mini Christmas tree. Thank you so much for this free DIY craft idea!"

"This craft is one of my favorite snowman ornaments. I like to make paper crafts, and I need winter craft projects to make with a pre-school group. I will offer up many colors of scrap yarn, so our snowmen will have lots of colorful scarves! The great thing about snowmen is they can stay out all winter."

"This is such a pretty ornament. I can get bags of the pearl beads at my local craft store for such a good price. Then I can make several of these ornaments and attach them to Chrismas gifts. I will need practice making the wire loops. I do struggle with those."

"This sweater is absolutely adorable. I really love that it has a sort of Native American/ western look to it. The charts could also be easily changed, along with the colors to give it a totally different look. My youngest would look so cute in this. It is perfect for fall but, could still be used just as much in winter. I will definitely have to add this sweater to my never ending list of the thungs I want to make."
