Laundry Room and Teacher Appreciation Sunburst Mirrors


There are so many different, cool sunburst mirrors out there. The creativity is never-ending. Here are two I've seen recently!

This sunburst mirror is perfect for a laundry room. Hill Country Homebody made it out of clothes pin (the kind that don't squeeze open.) The clothes pins would look fun painted too!









And just today, I saw this teacher appreciation sunburst mirror made out of pencils by Just Sew Sassy (guest posting at Tatertots and Jello.) How cute would that be for a classroom? Very cute. I would have loved one when I was teaching!




There are a few other fun sunburst mirror ideas at Tatertots and Jello along with this guest post.

Handmade Christmas

Welcome to the
HANDMADE CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Categorically Crafting Show

Here are just a FEW fun Handmade Gifts I have found!


Make a handmade tic-tac-toe game with pictures of your family for a great family gift. (Even when you are not using it, it still looks adorable.) See this at Craft Goodies.

For that hard to shop for person, you could make these cute handwashing snowflake soaps (or any other pattern you can find.) See how Suzy's Artsy Crafty Sitcom made them.

Ever stick a bow from a present on your head and pretend for it to be part of a real bow. With Attempting Aloha's help you can made a ribbon present bow for a clip or a headband for your daughters. I think these are simply so cute!
