Printing On Fabric
Cut a piece of freezer paper the same size as  a piece printer paper,  cut your piece of cotton fabric the same size.
Iron the cotton fabric onto the shiny side of the freezer paper then load it into your printer. Made sure you load it on the right side and make sure there are no fraid threads to get caught in your printer.
After printing wait for it to dry and peel it from the wax paper.

Bottle Cap Ornaments
Plastic bottle caps Large size bubble wrap Sequins or glitter White glue Scissors Cut an 8-inch piece of ribbon. Rub glue around the outside of the bottle cap. Tie the ribbon around the bottle cap, then tie the ends together to make a hanger for the cap. Rub glue over the inside back of the cap. Sprinkle the glue with sequins or glitter. Cut one bubble from the bubble wrap. Rub glue around the inside edges of the cap and slide the bubble wrap into the cap over the sequins

In a large bowl (I get containers from the $ store for crafting in) mix your dry ingredients, coffee, cinnamon and nutmeg. The more cinnamon you use the rustier it will be, the more coffee the darker it will be.Take a clean jar or bottle and make sure the surface is completely dry. With your brush apply a thick coat of glue. You can add a graphic if you'd like.

Then hold the jar/bottle over your bowl and with a spoon start coating the glue with your dry mix. When finished, set it down to dry.

Drying bottle...

After about 20 to 30 minutes (when it is dry enough to touch) if the mixture is not thick enough, you can recoat with more glue and repeat this process. I gave mine two coats. I left a few dry patches for a rust look!

If you choose to do the bottom, which I did, just turn it upside down and follow the same process. Let dry overnight and add embellishments and lights. The lights are pretty at night and gives a soft glow.I used more coffee with the jar and more cinnamon with the bottle.

Preserving Apples 1. Choose blemish-free fruit. Slice at an average thickness of 1/4". For best results Activa's Decorative Fruit Saver should be used at room temperature. Soak slices until they are flexible, pliable and do not break when folded.2. After soaking slices, pat dry between layers of paper towel and transfer to a brown paper grocery bag. Microwave on low power, or defrost setting for 10 to 15 minutes. Place slices, still on the paper bag, into a warm (140° F) oven, leave the door ajar, and finish the drying. Slices will feel dry and supple to the touch. Test slices for dryness by tearing a slice in half. If no moisture beads appear, it is dry.3. It is important to dry slices thoroughly to prevent deterioration. It is recommended that the slices be sealed with Activa's Glazz before use.Assemble the Wreath Glue dried apple slices around the face of wreath. Glue sprigs of cedar around and under apple slices. Glue sprigs of baby's breath randomly around apple slices. Make a simple rafia bow and glue to bottom left side of wreath. Glue optional ribbon scrap to center of bow.

Dried Oranges for Potpourri
oranges
knife
wire racks
matte clear acrylic spray
paper towels
Cut each orange crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Discard end pieces. Place on wire racks which have been placed on cookie sheets in a 150 degree oven. Dry for about 6 hours, turning over if edges start to curl. When dried, they should be pliable. You can use the slices whole or cut in half, depending on what you use them for. Spray with 2 coats of spray, allowing to dry between coats.

Twig Wreath
Wire hanger
Wire cutters
Needle nose pliers
Floral or jewelers wire
Twigs, berries, small pinecones, seed pods, dried
flowers, etc.
Instructions:
Using the pliers, bend the body of the hanger to form a circle. Bend the end of the hook down to form an oval for hanging the wreath when it is finished. Cut several 6-inch long lengths of the wire. Break or cut the twigs until they are all 5 inches long (can be longer or shorter, depending on personal preference). Take small handfuls of the twigs and twist the wire around each bunch. Overlapping the twig bunches as you go around the hanger circle, wire each bunch to it. Once all of the hanger circle is covered in twig bunches, you can add decorations such as pine cones, seed pods, bunches of herbs, berries, etc. by gluing, wiring, or tucking them into the twigs. Let the glue dry (if you used any) and hang.

Wedding Rice Roses
Fabric- 1 yard of satin 45" wide Floral wire and tape Rice Directions: 1.Cut the fabric into 45" x 3" strips. Sew with right sides together. Turn to right side out. Cut the long strip into 4" tubes. 2.Cut a peice of floral wire at 4" long. 3.Place the tube inside of the wire by about 1/2". Wrap the floral tape around the end of the fabric as you would silk flower arranging to attach the fabric to the wire. Wrap the floral tape to completely cover the wire. 4.Fill the 'rose' with 1/2 table spoon of rice. Tuck the ends of the tube inside to close.

Scrunchie Bunnie
This is a very easy bunny to make. Bring the scrunchie handle up through the top of a wooden bead and use that to make the bow, then just add ears, flowers, ribbons, pearls etc. You can use fabric or anything to make the ears. I used felt for the pink area. I added some wire so you can shape the ear, but you don't have to. Try adding a hat or bonnet for a different look.

Snowman Bottle
Fill an empty, clear water bottle with white crepe paper or tissue paper. Replace the top. Cut or gouge out a hole in a styrofoam ball so that the top of the bottle will fit snugly inside. Add a little hot glue, then stick the ball onto the bottle. Cut a hat, mouth, and buttons from black felt. Cut a carrot nose from orange felt. Glue these on as well as two "wiggly" eyes onto the styrofoam ball. Cut out a scarf from red or blue felt. Tie around the neck of the bottle and fringe the ends. If desired, add arms made of brown pipecleaners or real twigs. The pipecleaners can either be glued on, or a tiny hole can be punched in each side and the pipecleaners and /or twigs inserted.

Decorative Liquid Soap Bottles This is a cute idea for any holiday or everyday:
1)Begin with an empty soap bottle, or remove labels from prefilled bottles and pour out about half of the soap from your bottle for later use as your bottle gradually empties.
2) Add glass stones to the bottom of the bottle, about 1-1/2 to 2" deep. Marbles or pretty gravel could also be used as a base.
3) Insert silk flowers cut to fit the size of the bottle. Insert the flowers stem side down into the bottle, using the stem of the pump to push the bottom of the flower stem into the glass stones to secure in place.
4) Fill the soap bottle about half full with clear liquid hand soap. Once all embedded decorations are in place, fill the bottle to the top, allowing for displacement caused by replacing the pump.

ivy bowl
glass gems
lights
flowers
Put in beads while adding lights so they will bemixed around in bowl, let the cord hang over the side in the back.Cut flower stems short enough to fit bowl and arrange. That's it.

Decorative Bean Jars
Empty Jar
Assorted Beans (3 or 4 varieties)
1/4 Yard gingham fabric
1 Yard Twine or Cord
Rubber Band
Cotton Batting
Layer each variety of beans to the top of the jar. Lightly tap to settle the beans and top off with more beans. Cut a piece of cotton batting the same size as lid. Screw the lid on the jar. Place batting on top. Lay fabric across the top and tie with cord.

BEAD 'N' BUTTON BRACELETS
Cut a length of aprox. 12" of clear elastic thread. String a button onto the thread and knot at one end. This button is not used in the final bracelet, it simply helps in the assembly on the beads. Mark the other end of the thread with permanent marker to aid in seeing the end. Thread 5 beads on the thread and add a button, repeat until the bracelet has the look and length desired. Finish bracelet by knotting thread tightly and trimming ends of thread.

$ Tree Santa Makeover
I got this santa at the $ tree and thought I would antique him a bit, so I grunged and glittered him. Here is the before and after. You can't see all the glitter in the pic.

Bunny Glitter Ornies
These are made from the little woodies at michaels, painted, glittered and I added a little cotton tail.

These woodies I gave a faux rust effect by painting them black
and a light dusting of cinnamon.

This is a paper mache box that I have painted. I cut out some textured wallpaper and adhered to the top., once it was dry I added some antiquing medium to give it a time  worn look. You can embellish with pip berries or even add a candlelight.
