Capturing Kids JOY + then making it into a DIY "Thank You" mitten card as way to say, "thank you" from your little ones heart! All by including a photo of them holding that special gift from someone far this holiday season. 

You can also take a picture on your iPhone and then print it out on printer paper too!

 As for my girls making this one?! They always love using our CHEEKS BRAND craft mats especially since the design allows for mini containers to hold paint + then a larger area for mixing colors as we did for this one : )

DIY Faux Ornament x Kids Advent Calendar

This was such a fun one to try + figure out as I needed to find just the right size for both the wooden ornament and the wreathe base to be a perfect match.

Since we/I make a lot of our creation’s using the colors pink and purple (my girls favorites) I thought it would be really special to make a DIY activity advent calendar which reflects both of them this year. And so I did! 

Want to make one?! + or curious for what we used to make ours?!

Supplies:

Wreathe Gold Leaf Base

Wooden Ornaments 

Acrylic Paint (desired colors) pink, purple, teal

Gold string 

Glitter (desired colors) pink, purple, green chunky, green

Gold sticker letters (I used vinyl/DIY)

Card stock (for pocket on back)

Glue stick + glue gun to construct
