I’d like to give each family member an ornament for their Christmas trees – an ornament featuring a picture of the recipient with my precious precious father, from a Christmas past.
This is our first Christmas without him.
I have the photos gathered, digitally and otherwise, but have no ideas. I am a crafting neophyte, but I have quick access to a Michaels and am also willing to consider ornaments made by others using my photos, but I don’t know what those would be either, or how to find them.
Thanks for you help and Merry Christmas.
have you seen the little snow globes you can put two pix in back to back. one will show on each side. michaels might have them.

There are two way to have more money: make more or spend less. Running a successful craft business implies not only making money but also controlling costs wherever you can. Here are some tips to help you save money:
- Buy your supplies in bulk. Wholesale prices for supplies are mostly 25% less than retail prices. You will be in a better bargaining position and get better discount. If you can hook-up with fellow craft and buy together, your purchasing power goes up and you may be eligible for even more discount.
- Use online services where you can. Many companies give you discount if use online account, rather than going to store. For example, FedEx gives 10% discount of you use an online account to create shipping label, instead of writing them out. Buying online also saves on gas and environment. Amazon often gives 10%+ discount on books plus free shipping if you order for more than $25.
- Bundle you phone, internet, and TV. Cable and phone companies offer better rates if you buy all three services from a single company. They will give you a fixed low price for a year. After the year is up, call them up. In almost all cases, they will renew the price for one more year.
- Buy unlimited use cell phones. If you travel a lot to craft shows or fairs, get a cell phone with unlimited or plenty of minutes. It is expensive to go over the amount of minutes you have contracted. Hotel phones are expensive. Avoid using it. Use your cell phone instead.
- Get a cash-back credit card for your craft business. Many credit cards offer 2-5% cash back on all purchases and balance transfers. You can either plowback this extra cash into your business or reward yourself. Choice is yours.
- Use a hybrid or a fuel efficient car if you go to a lot of craft shows or are on the road a lot. Carpool with fellow crafters who are going to the same craft shows as you are. You will not only save money but also get company for the ride.
- Ask your family members to help in small chores. This will help you get more done without any additional costs. If you spouse is good with number, let them help with record-keeping and/or managing inventory
- Open the business bank at the local credit union or a small bank. You will be able to get free checking and often free overdraft protection. Make sure that the bank is FDIC insured.
- Learn to shop around, especially for high-ticket items. Whether you are looking for tickets, hotels, supplies, etc. do not be sacred to shop around. Research prices online before you decide what to buy and where.
- Subscribe to trade and craft magazines that you are unable to get at the library. It is more expensive to buy one issue at a time from the newsstand. These magazines often have 5-15% off coupons for craft supplies. Use these coupons to get the discount on your supplies.
Remember small steps can save a lot of money and add quickly to your bottom line.

Where could i buy scrapbooking and craft supplies in Bulk?
I live in San Jose, California and I was just wondering if anyone else from that area knows of places where i can buy supplies for scrapbooking and crafts in bulk. Or maybe you know of a website that sells things for cheap. Please help if you can! Thanks in advance!
Depending on what items you want and what you consider “bulk”, it might be worth your while to set up wholesale accounts with individual manufacturing companies. Or you can find a local distributor for a bunch of companies. If you just want a less expensive site, you can try:

One of the activities that preschoolers love engaging in is crafting, so when Halloween season nears, there is no better idea then to get these little kids involved in Halloween crafts. The net is full of Halloween craft ideas that you can get for free. When it comes to preschoolers, it is important to give them projects that they can easily understand and find comfortable to work on. When you give the kids Halloween crafts to do, ensure that you let them make them as they wish and appreciate whatever product comes out. Here are some of the Halloween crafts that you can give preschoolers to do.
Once the pumpkin has been carved, the seeds are left. You can either fry these seeds with sea salt, or if you’re not into that, here is an idea. Save the seeds, clean them and let them dry. then from a piece of cardboard or construction paper, cut a circle and glue the seeds on the outside of the circle with their points facing out. Then glue another row inside the initial row and sprinkle some glitter in the middle. You can even paint the seeds and attach a stem if you wish but it would be better if you punch a hole at the top and hang it on the wall of your room.
Edible Halloween crafts are the post popular crafts among preschoolers as these kids get a real thrill about making crafts that they can eat. Dirt and worms is a really enjoyable craft. First, take a clean plastic cup. Take a little bit of chocolate ice cream in the cup. Then give the child some chocolate cookies packed in a plastic bag preferable zip lock. Then make them smash the packed cookies into small bits. Take these smashed bits along with some gummy worms and pour it over the ice cream and dirt and worms is ready. Now all they need is a spoon to enjoy what they have created.
Using your child’s handprint to make a lovely little bat is another wonderful Halloween craft that you can use for your preschooler. Pour some washable craft black paint on a paper plate. Place the child’s hand in the plate to ensure the whole hand is covered with paint. Then press the child’s hand with fingers spread on one side of another paper plate or a construction paper. Then, matching the heels of the hand, flip the paper around and press the hand again after recoating it with paint. Then put some googly eyes or use white paint for eyes, punch a hole at the top and pull a string through it. You can hang this anywhere you want.
It is really easy to find Halloween crafts suitable for preschoolers online. Just ensure that they aren’t too difficult for your child and you can have a great time with your little preschooler.

There is rarely a better time for doing crafts than the holiday season. In fact, any holiday is perfect for craft making, it doesn’t matter which it is. The holidays can be used as your inspiration and motivation for getting creative, especially when it comes to gift giving. There is virtually no end to the things you can produce with the right materials and ideas.
Cards have got to be the most popular of all easy at home crafts. Any kind of paper can be used to make a card but construction paper works best. Any other sturdy material can also be used. Markers, paints, glitter and gems are just a few of the things you can use to decorate your card nicely. This is a perfect task for very young children to get started in crafts.
Many people are so concerned with the gift that they do not take the time to focus on the gift box. Decorating a gift box is a fabulous way to add some flare to it while increasing the delight of the recipient. Cards can actually be folded into a small gift box with just a few folds. Try searching online for step by step instruction if you should require it. Paint balloons on a birthday box or snowflakes on a Christmas gift box. The smallest touch can add a lot of personality.
Window painting makes a fun holiday craft for any holiday. Stick with the theme by using paints or spray made for window crafts. Be sure it is this type so that you know it will wash off after. Paint pumpkins and witches for Halloween or pretty pink hearts for Valentine’s Day. This type of activity is fun for adults and kids so why not do it together? It’s a good way to spend some quality time as a family getting ready for your favourite holiday.
For Valentine’s Day, try making a love bug for that special someone. Cut out a large heart from pink or red construction paper. Use a different piece of paper, usually a black or brown one, and cut it out in the shape of a bug body like that of a butterfly. Glue the body on to the heart so that the heart becomes the wings. You now have a love bug. Decorate the wings however you like.
Hanging ghosts are an easy favourite for Halloween. All you need is small white treat bags or an old sheet you can cut into large squares. Stuff the bag with anything from paper to leaves to fill half of it before tying it off. The untied portion should hang loose and the tied part becomes the head of the ghost. Draw on a face or spooky words for additional décor.
Holidays are fun for so many reasons. From painting Easter eggs to making your very own Christmas ornaments, the holidays are wonderful for bringing out the kid in everyone. It doesn’t take much to get creative. Start with the right materials and don’t allow yourself to be limited.
