Reindeer Thumbprint Ornaments and Snowman Handprint Ornaments

A simple Family Craft!
We made Reindeer Ornaments with Thumbprints and Snowman Ornaments with our Hand Prints!
Very Easy and Inexpensive...
Glass Ornaments (all on sale now!), inexpensive paints, and a sharpie (we used an empty egg carton as a drying rack.
this project is originally from Little Bit Funky and I merged her "professional photos" with our family photos!
We made our reindeers using white ornaments (the pretty photos are from Little Bit Funky, and they used blue!)

brown paint on finger (hello FBI!)


Sharpie Eyes...
Sharpie marker name and age is a great idea!
Sharpie Antlers and red paint nose....
that is all!
Now for the Handprint Snowman Ornaments:
Once again, the Red Snowman Ornaments are what we made and the pretty tutorial photos are from Little Bit Funky

Sharpie Hats, scarf, face, scarf, etc...and a small orange paint nose!

Reindeer Noses

I have been waiting to make these!
 I love the idea of the 8 brown and then the 1 red (Rudolph's!) nose! 
This was first spotted here on this site:A Personal Touch.blogspot.com
I plan on using Malted Milk Balls and a Red Candy I found at Party City.
I was searching and found these free printable labels:
Free Printable labels from Craftaphile.blogspot.com

I found this link for bag toppers to purchase on Etsy here
(by the way, I like this cute idea of using all Red M&M's!)

Santa Hat Pretzels

Very Easy!
Bite-sized bits of North Pole magic are just what your holiday party needs! This delectable balance of salty and sweet is a wonderful way to give everyone an irresistible taste of the Christmas spirit.

Ingredients

Mini Twist Pretzels
White Chocolate Almond Bark
Red Sanding Sugar
Mini Marshmallows
Directions

Melt the white chocolate almond bark according to the directions on the package.
Dip each mini twist pretzel halfway into the melted white chocolate almond bark.
Dip each almond bark covered pretzel into the red sanding sugar until only a small amount of the almond bark is showing. Place on waxed paper.
Cut the mini marshmallows in half. Use additional melted almond bark to adhere a mini marshmallow half onto the side of each pretzel. Allow time for the almond bark to set.

Hot Cocoa Party

This amazing party is from Shindig Parties.
I will be re-using these ideas and am going to purchase these printable labels from here.
This is such a fun and inexpensive idea for holiday parties. Include lots of candies and sweet toppings for family or children's parties or add some mix-ins like Kahlua or peppermint Schnapps for adult parties. It comes together quickly, too, with mostly store-bought products.

Peppermint marshmallows, chocolate covered peppermint sticks and chocolate peppermint spoons were placed close to the cocoa mugs for fun stirrers. 



Covering peppermint sticks with white candy coating and adding some sparkling sugar makes wonderfully sweet cocoa stirrers.
Thank you Shindig Parties for a great Party idea!

also there is a tutorial for the Snowman used on the Cocoa Table and more photos...enjoy
