Christmas Crafts

This year for Christmas, we decided to make as many Christmas presents as possible to do something different. I haven't wanted to post any of the projects until after Christmas.

Now that it is after Christmas, I thought I would post the crafts that we did this year.

For most of the nieces and nephews, we decided to make stools for them. I painted the base coat of the stools and then Matt drew the pictures on the stools, so I could paint them. They turned out absolutely adorable.

We created 8 stools this year.

 Frogs for Parker and Jairus

Flowers for Talitha and Kasiah

 Dump Truck for Jayden

Frog for Braxton

Lady Bug for Kate

Butterfly for Grace (missing in picture)

My friend, Sami, showed me a wreath made of Tulle about 4 months ago and I thought it was cute, so I decided to make Tulle wreaths for Christmas for my mom and Matt's mom. It took 3 yards of Tulle for each wreath. I tied my mom's and Matt tied his mom's. I put some flowers in the wreaths and here is how they turned out.

 Sunflowers for my mom.

 Green for Matt's mom. I am not sure what the flowers are called.

I also painted my mom a sunflower and Matt was nice enough to hold it for a picture. 

Since we were missing Arlee for Christmas, I decided to make her a tutu and send it with my mom to Washington.  Arlee seems to love the tutu, because Chelsey posted on her blog. Here is a picture of Arlee in the tutu.
