Nostalgia, what is it this strong sensation of feeling when the past happens to cross your path? The nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks as I browsed the dollar store for Christmas decorations. My colleague and I walked by the toy section to browse and ran into some Nickelodeon characters from the 90’s we recognized. We were dumbfounded that our local dollar store Dollarama had gotten these into their store. My colleague always jokes around that he is going to own a dollarama one day. We ended up digging through their stock on display and picked out Arnold, the star of Hey Arnold and Tommy,Chuckie, and Reptar from Rugrats.

We ended up using the toys we bought from the dollar store to make ornaments for this coming Christmas season. You can check out what we did in this video we put up on the YouTube.

Do you ever forget those few people on your Christmas gift list who deserve more than just a lame box of chocolate?  If you need a quick and easy gift to whip up for those last minute people on your list, you need to learn how to make yourself a candy sleigh.



Here is how to cut your ribbon for the back of your candy sleigh.  The side that says "fold" is the folded edge of the ribbon.  I begin cutting at the open side moving my way into the centre of the ribbon.  Curve out the end to give you that smooth curved look to the back of the sleigh.


Remember to check out my last CCC video where I show you how to make an origami santa tag!



Happy Crafting!

READ THIS ON MY NEW WEBSITE!





Here is the first (of many) tutorials for this holiday season!  I love this DIY simply because it involves recycling of your toilet paper rolls :)  It's cheap, it's fun, and most importantly, it's so easy to make.
Here are some photos of the finished product.  I have also made a couple more using 2 and 3 differently coloured yarn to make the same toque and it looks absolutely beautiful.








I'm so excited for this holiday season and all the DIY projects to be made :)

Happy Crafting!
