Go Pack Go

Every year my Brother and his wife throw

THE BEST SUPERBOWL PARTY!

They have tons of prizes, food, and games.

I made a cute little invitation for the party this year.

Apothecary Jars

Supplies needed

Glass jar (found mine at dollar tree)

Glass candlestick holder (found mine at dollar tree)

E6000 glue

Spray paint Optional

I just spray painted the lid and the candlestick holder just to give it a little different look. I've done some without the spray paint that look just as cute.

Just glue candlestick to the bottom of the jar. Just like making the cake stands. Let it dry overnight.

Another Cute Missionary

Amber, Here's a little sneak peek.

Lesson #3 lm3 Living the Gospel Daily

In order to Live the Gospel daily we need to: Love, Obey, Serve, Pray, Study, & Work. We talked about each of these area's individually.
I bought my prescription bottles at Walmart for $0.25 each. I found some yummy gobstopper hearts to fill them up with!

Lesson #2 lm3 Coming to Know the Savior

I found this cute printable HERE, then tied it to a little bag of gummy hearts.

2011 YW Theme & New Beginnings

Here is the card I made for our New Beginnings night. I am printing them at Costco 4x6

super easy & cheap.

This year the theme for YW is the 13th article of faith.

Jewelry Stands

This is what I made my YW for Christmas this Year. A cute little Jewelry "stand". I attached a cute little pair of earrings to the card.

They are so simple to make. Just like making the cake stands (SEE HERE)

All you need is a glass candlestick holder, a cute picture frame with a little bit of a raised edge, some cute scrapbook paper or fabric, and E6000 glue.

Put your cute paper in the frame and then glue the candlestick to the bottom of the frame. Don't use a glue gun it will not stick and will pop off over time. The E6000 is very durable and dries pretty quickly. I recommend letting it dry at least 24 hours.

The frames I used held a 5x7'' picture.

I made each of them in their favorite color. This was the 2010 YW theme but I added the words STAND TALL to help tie in my jewelry STANDS.

I think it would be a cute friend gift too. You could put a cute picture of their friends in the frame instead of paper.

Tutorial: Crayon Roll

Cut (2) pieces of Fabric 8.5'' x 16.5"

(I used 1 patterned and 1 plain)

Put Pretty Sides together and sew 1/4'' seam around entire rectangle. Leaving a 2'' gap un-sewn so you can turn it inside out.
Turn inside out, and sew shut the 2'' gap you left to turn inside out.
Iron
Fold Fabric 1/3 of the way to create a little Pocket.
Iron

I put my elastic right where my little "pocket" is and sew it in the pocket about 0.5''
Then go around entire rectangle with a 1/4'' seam (top stitch) just to finish it off nice.

Now to get the little Crayon pockets.
I just use a piece of masking tape and sew vertically along that line. Then move the masking tape to my next seam and sew another line.
You could get a fabric marker and draw perfect lines to sew on exactly 1'' a part.
But the masking tape is faster for us lazy, non-technical sewers!


That's it.
Put your crayons in their individual little pockets.

roll it up and wrap your elastic around the roll.

These would make cute little stocking stuffers, or little preschooler friend gifts.
