DIY Snow Mouse




 

I posted Saturday that this whole week was going to be all Disney related seeing as how Christmas is the most magical time of the year and Disney is the most magical place on earth. Below is a cute DIY you can do if you're a Disney lover or to do with the kiddos.


What you'll need:

store bought pom pom makers

colored felt

scissors

3 skeins of 4 or 5 weight white yarn

pencil

hot glue gun and sticks

buttons

floral wire

wire cutters

3/16 dowel rod


Create:

Use the pom pom maker to build 4 pom poms. You need one 4 1/2”

one 3 3/8” and two 1 5/8” pom poms to build

one snow mouse.


Cut a 6” piece of the dowel rod and stick it through

the 4 1/2” pom pom until it hits the bottom.

Lift halfway up, apply some hot glue and re-insert.

Attach the 3 3/8” pom pom to the top of the

dowel rod and secure with glue.

To attach the ears carefully cut

two 3” pieces of floral wire. Stick the wire

through the pair of 1 5/8” pom poms and secure

with hot glue. With the ears on the wire,

carefully push through the top

pom of the snow mouse, lift halfway

out and apply hot glue and re-insert.


With the colored felt cut out

eyes, a carrot nose and a scarf.

Attach the face and scarf with hot

glue and glue 2 buttons down the front

of the mouse. For a Minnie create

a bow for the top of the head.


You can embelish them with other Christmas

decor too.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
