Nail Polish Christmas Gift

I am so sorry for not posting last week, but as you all know, Christmas is the busiest craft time of the year. I hand make all of the gifts I give, but I can't put any of them on the blog because the recipients will see. I try my best though! And comment whether or not you'd like a blogpost next week on Christmas! Of course I'd pre write it ;) Also, my sister came up with an idea (I don't remember what she called it. Something like Catch Up New Year..?) where in January, all of my blog posts would be what I made people for Christmas! Be sure to comment your thoughts on that as well. Now on to the QUICK blogpost.

As I thoroughly mentioned, Christmas/gift giving takes up so much time, so quick little gifts are perfect to not spend very much money, but still be cute and useful.

What you will need is a red nail polish (or any color, but red is Christmassy), a green string (again, any color is fine), a silver piece of cardstock, scissors, a sharpie, and a hole puncher. 

To start, cut out a small piece of cardstock and punch a hole in the top. Then, write a cute (and punny) phrase on it. I wrote "A nail polish for your mistleTOES!" Because it has to do with Christmas, but you could write something that has to do with the color, like "you brighten my day (yellow)" or "you get rid of my BLUES." 

Now simply string the string through the hole and tie it around the nail polish. It's as easy as that!

Mistletoe Hair Elastic

Today, I will be showing you all how to decorate a hair elastic for Christmas. And to be honest, you could do this for any holiday/occasion by simply changing the colors. It would look really cute in a little girl's hair, but I wear it as well. Just depends on your style ;)

The materials you will need are an elastic (preferably the color matching the color skeme or a neutral color), scissors, and green and red spools of tulle.

All you do is cut a piece of tulle about I don't know, 7 inches? Whatever you think is best; we will be cutting them shorter after, but it will probably be easier to work with longer pieces. Cut 2 green, and 1 red. Now take your elastic, and either tie each piece of tulle on, or loop it on (by folding it in half, laying the loop under a side of the elastic, then pulling the ends through the loop, around the elastic). Do it in a green red green order, and pull each one tight and close together. 

Trim the ends to only like 1-3 inches so it's not ginormous. Now just put the elastic on like normal.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
