It's getting closer...any more ideas?

I've made 2 pom-pom scarfs so far!
Need to get started on some poly-clay ornaments.

I have been working on a quilt for my parents.

My girls and I will also be making polymer clay pens for college and high school relatives. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_s5SsdF8ZLs

I have made folding brag books, Cards boxed up in photo boxes and sorted by occasion and Disney earings...I will probably do lots of baking (from Pinterest board recipes) and bag them in baskets for gifts. Love reading all the ideas~

How do you make Disney earrings?

I use a baking colored clay and shape into Mickey heads.

I love these ideas but I'm really a visual person so I vote photos be included

Great ideas! I am making pre-shave oil as a stocking stuffer. It is between a 2:1 or 2 1/2:1 mix of castor oil and olive oil (just personal preference, but I tend toward the higher amount of castor oil). Then you can add a few drops of any essential oil you like, or you can leave it unscented. Put it on before you lather up with shaving cream, or you could use it alone. We discovered this after my husband tried a brand-name sample and loved it, only to find that the product cost $25 for 2 oz.

I saw someone yesterday on TV talk about making your own scented lotion- Take UNSCENTED lotion- super cheap no name kind is fine.

Put some perfume in a little plastic bottle- (just a tiny bit) and then add lotion. Shake- Scented lotion! I'm making these for stocking stuffers.

I saw this on pinterest, but there are no directions on how to make it. Any ideas?

We have a paint your own pottery place here where I live...you do there and paint or do hand/foot prints on plates, etc and they fire it. Search your area for a studio...our is called something like The Mad Platter. I also saw kits at Michaels where you could do plates with indentions, not necessarily with paint.
Good luck!...

Don't know if it will work the same, but it might be worth a try. I find something similar on Pinterest and we are doing it as our class craft for DD's class party. Dollar store white ceramic plates and sharpie markers. Kids can use stencils or whatever to decorate the plate with the markers and then you put the plate into a cold over, bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then let it cool in the oven. I've tried it and it works with markers. I'd say try it out and see if it works?

Here is the infinity scarf that I made my niece.
