Rudolph Day
Preparing for Christmas Throughout the Year!

One last craft before Crafty Kits Month ends….but first just let me say….Happy Leap Year!  We don’t see February 29th all that often!

Here’s a chenille snowman and Rudolph craft that caught my eye. These would be great as part of a homemade Christmas village!  They are from kaboose.com

I happened upon another cute Christmas Subway Art printable and I just had to share it!!  This one is printable as either a 5 x7 or an 8 x10….so cute and I love the saying from the movie Elf.  You can find it: HERE.

I am wondering what types of post are the most useful or interesting to you….I’d love some comments so I can get a better idea what to blog about here at Rudolph Day….please leave a comment with ideas about the types of posts you like the best!!

It’s still crafty kits month so I thought I’d post a sweet ornament idea I discovered.  Use spools, paper, beads, ribbon and wire to create these lovely ornament. Details and directions are over at Make Mine Beautiful.

These free printable storage labels are available over at The Project Girl.  I know it is for holiday decor of all kinds..Christmas, Halloween etc BUT…..I thought we could also use it as part of our Crafty Kits storage….for those projects that need to be tucked away somewhere….when we need them…we can refer to this storage page rather than digging in closets and storage shelves!!

Check out the paint storage in the plastic baskets. You can see the color by the cap and they look so colorful and pretty. You can find baskets for a dollar at most dollar stores!  This idea from: Misty’s Art

Votive Candle Holders in a tray! Super cute. Shown at: Squidoo.

Storage containers from repurposing. These are vienna sauage tins but I think those little Pringles cans would work great!  The directions are available at: Tethered to Home.

So it’s STILL Crafty Kits Month….what are you waiting for….set up those craft kits and while you are at it organize your craft supplies!!

I just had to share this cute free subway art printable from over at Ocean of Notion!  I am addicted to subway art ….there are so many cute ones out there!  I am amazed at the talented people that make these and offer them to others!

February is Crafty Kits Month! It’s time to get your 2012 holiday crafts organized and ready for crafting! Then on Rudolph Day or any day…you can grab them and spend some time crafting!  For details about setting up your kits for 2012 check out Magical Holiday Home!

To get you started here’s a clever and simple craft idea!  A felt garland idea from My Blessed Life.  You can use traditional Christmas colors for your garland or pick colors to go with your specific theme or color scheme.

During the month of February I’ll be sharing crafty tips and craft ideas all month long. So check back each week for more ideas!

Look what I found over at Easy Christmas Crafts.  It’s a glitzy Christmas charm bracelet. I love the red and white beads and the little bells.  It is adorable!  The directions are over on the site, along with a materials list. These would also make cute gifts as well.

Here’s a cute little trio of trees….not candy you say??….well what about if you used candy printed fabric? I know there’s some out there somewhere. And someone also commented that you most likely could make these using paper instead of fabric…hmmm….I don’t sew so the paper and glue might be an option for me. You can get the directions and the pattern…HERE

MERRY CHRISTMAS in JULY!!!

Two things you need in summer? Sun glasses and some Christmas in July fun. This easy and quick craft will have your children smiling in no time at all. So get some simple supplies gathered and be ready for Christmas in July.  Find the directions over at Kaboose.

Then top off the craft with some ice cream with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies on top!  Check back here at Rudloph Day for more simple and easy Christmas in July ideas. :)
