Good Morning!
Today I have a kid-friendly craft that will take you into Thanksgiving and you can reuse it for the rest of the holidays. I love a holiday craft that I can do with my kids. I had my little buddy helping me and we had a blast. When glitter is involved it is okay to get a little messy!
The Supplies:
For Easy Clean-up: We also used 2 cookie sheets lined with the wax paper. One was a glitter station and the other was a drying station. When you are all done you can just lift up the wax paper and pour the unused glitter back into it’s case.
And might I just add that little hands make the best helpers!
I love the idea of these in apothecary jars or in a footed bowl. Another thought–you could just add small eye hooks and ribbon and they would make pretty ornaments.
Have a great weekend!!!
love this project, I still have the ones my now 18 and 21 (twins) sons made me in pre-school!
Oh, how nice, Jayne! I don’t know if thesr will stand the test of time, but making memories with our kids will

This is so great! I think i am going to do this and put them in my Christmas tree this year. Thanks Kristin!
You betcha! I love simple and elegant. Even though this is a kiddie craft I think it plays that way. XO Kristin
Too funny, Kristin, this is a craft my sister and I regularly did as kids! Although ours NEVER looked this elegant. We would sell them in a stand from our front yard for 25 cents a pop. Love the waltz down memory lane.
Oh, I love that! What a great memory
Thanks for sharing! XO Kristin
Thanks for dropping by my blog. I’m very far from any DIY projects by nature and inclination. Based where I am, I haven’t even cooked since June. So far it’s not been boring. All the best.
Thanks, Victor! Have a great day! ~Kristin
So cute! Your kids must be so happy they have such a creative Mommy! I love having a bowl full of pinecones in the fall/winter. Especially is they are cinnamon spice scented!
Hi, Sarah! My youngest had so much fun being the glitter shaker
Cinnamon spice sounds divine. I just got the White Barn Spice scented candle from B&B works. It smells like holiday time

Ohh I love them in the footed bowl! Great idea for crafting with the kiddos!
Thanks, Amber
I love kiddie crafts! xo Kristin
Cute! I need to remember to make these with my daughter soon!
This is so fun to do with the kiddos

I just bought some silver and translucent glitter to do Christmas crafting with my toddler
We used to make things with gumnuts where I grew up (Sth Australia), but now I am in Europe I think pinecones at Christmas are more seasonal 
What are gumnuts? I am going to have to google that
Have fun crafting! It’s so fun to be a kid again with our kids! xo Kristin
Here’s a link to a pic of some gumnuts

They grow on native Aussie trees. And I totally agree that it’s great to get to be a kid again
Thanks for the link & info
