Guest Project -- Great Last Minute Gift Idea {with free printable}

Hey everybody! I'm Erin from In Between Laundry and I am ecstatic to be here on Tatertots and Jell-o!

The holidays are tons of fun, but can also be H-E-C-T-I-C (at least in my crazy house)!

Can I get an Amen?

Here's a fun print-and-take-the-cred project that I whipped up for an easy last-minute somethin-somethin to give.

How cute would this be to leave in the mailbox for the mailman?

They're Ice Breakers mints--all gussied up.

1. Print and cut out.

2. Peel off the label (try not to tear it) and put it aside. You'll need it in a little bit.

3.  Stick the label on your template and trace the slits so you can open the mints later. Now cut where you traced.

4. Glue the new label on. I didn't Mod-Podge, but you might want to.

Everyone will think you're so clever!

And you are!

Mwah!

Erin - that is such a cute idea!!!

I am going to whip a few of those up today!! 

Erin has an awesome blog and a great sense of humor. 

She cracks me up!! Here are some of my favorite projects that she has made: 

{Last Minute Gift Idea -- Sugar and Foot Scrub}

{Gift Idea -- Popcorn Movie Night w/free printable}

{Stair Rail Snowman}

{Snowflake Refrigerator Door}

{Funny Thanksgiving T-Shirts}

Neighbor Gift Idea -- Make Burlap & Chalkboard Gift Bags!!

 I have a fast, inexpensive, easy project to share that would be really fun to make as neighbor gifts this year.

Burlap and Chalkboard Fabric Gift Bags!

These little bags can be customized to fit any size gift that you can image:

• Wine or Sparkling Cider with a little tag that says "Wishing you a Sparkling Holiday Season!"


• Chocolate Covered Pretzel Sticks.


• Dollar Store Peppermints.


• Even gift cards.

And the painted chalkboard labels that you make are great because the bag can be used again and again!

My project was chosen by Krylon to featured on the front page of Your Holiday Style - one of their sites dedicated to sharing cool spray painted holiday projects. So fun!!  You can click below to go over and check out my tutorial.   They also have some other great holiday projects you can download and save for later submitted by some of your very favorite crafters from a little group that I am part of called Crafterminds.

{Tuesday Giveaway} -- Bejeweled Beads Jewelry!!

{Happy Tuesday}

We had a huge storm here and are still digging our way out.

So I thought it would be nice to have a fabulous giveaway to brighten up the day!

I would love to introduce you to Chelsea from Bejeweled beads -- one of my favorite sponsors!   

Bejeweled Beads is an awesome place to buy fabulous jewelry!

I love these jeweled watches from Bejeweled Beads.

There are so many to choose from! 

 {This Band would be a perfect gift this Holiday Season}

 {or this Band would go with everything!}

{I love the pink and brown combination on this band}

Another thing I love is that you can pick out the watch band and the watch face separately. 

There are so many combinations to choose from!! 

 And, you can order DIY kits, which come with everything you need to make the watches. They make a fun activity to do with your family or as a girls night out!!! 

 Chelsea also makes Cluster Charms that match her watch bands. So you can coordinate your necklace to your watch!

Or you can order a bracelet in any of the watch band styles. I love how chunky this one is!

 And if there's someone on your list that loves jewelry, a ring is a great gift or stocking stuffer! I love that each of the rings is named after a famous celebrity. Like this one is the Isla Fisher ring! 

And everything at Bejewled Beads is so affordable!! 

A gift certificate is also a great idea.

 Plus, there is FREE shipping on all orders through Christmas - awesome!!!
