It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already done. It’s time to start thinking about Christmas and presents. Christmas can get very expensive, so before the Christmas holiday, I will show a few things my 21-year-oldear old daughter makes for gifts. She doesn’t have a lot of money, so she likes to make all her gifts for her friends and family. I went shopping with her on Black Friday to help her find the good deals. She has 13 people to make Christmas gifts for this year. So I decided I would show you a few things she made for under $6.00. The one I will show you today would be a great project for a girl or boy to make as a gift for a friend, grandparent or parents.
Items Needed
1 small pot coaster 1 small Deco Art Paint (White)
1 small Deco Art Paint (Gold or Silver) 1 Bottle glitter glue (Gold or Silver)
1 Can Acrylic High Gloss Spray Fake Snow
1 Flameless LED Tea light Hot Glue Gun
Paintbrush (small) Pick any small decorations you like
1. Take your pot coaster and paint it all white. Let it dry.
2. Paint your top ring of your coaster with your silver or gold paint. Let dry.
3. Take your glitter glue and make dots around the top ring. This makes it look like little beads are
around the top.
4. Take the can of Acrylic High Gloss spray and spray the whole coaster to seal the paint. Let dry.
5. Hot glue your ornaments to the bottom of your coaster. Let dry.
6. Hot glue your fake snow around your decorations. Let dry.
7. Add a small LED Tea Light to light up your decoration. (Remember not to glue this down so you can turn it on and off as you like).
When money is tight, like it is for my daughter, this is a great way to give a nice gift without breaking the bank. My daughter comes up with the neatest ideas sometimes, and this is just one of them I wanted to share with you today. This project took a little over 2 hours to make. The paint dries very fast. As she makes some more Christmas gifts I will share some of them with you. Have fun making this Christmas gift from Suzie Homemaker.
