Candy Bar Reindeer and Snowmen

I have been busy lately with holiday crafts and here is just one of them that I finished yesterday..... Reindeer Candy Bars for my son's classroom holiday party.

I took the small snack size hershey bars and wrapped them in brown card stock ( on sale at michael's for .25 a sheet) Then I used a 1 inch circle cutter for the nose and 8mm size eyes all glued on and finally the antlers I used a darker card stock paper and cut them out by hand.   I did see where someone used a circuit but I don't have one:(  I am sure that would have been much easier and faster but I think mine came out just fine.  I hope the kids enjoy them!

I also made snowmen candy bars for the teachers.  They are made the same way except I wrapped a "normal" size hershey bar and wrapped them in white card stock.  Then I took some fleece and glued it around the top and tied it at the top.  After that I took some more fleece and made a scraf and then added some eyes ( beads) and used a marker to draw the face and nose.

School Christmas Party Cookies

I know I am really behind on posting these but I just found them on my camera ha ha ha. Anyways the boys had a Class Christmas party and I made the cut out cookies. The first one was Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer......

I made them with a simple sugar cookie recipe and used an egg shaped cookie cutter and chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate chips for the eyes and some red icing for then nose. Super simple to create an a big hit among the kids.

Another cookie I made was Snowmen cookies. Again I just used a simple sugar cookie recipe an white and orange icing and chocolate chips for their eyes.

I hope you find these simple and cute sugar cookie designs easy and enjoyable.

Star Wars Birthday School Treats

My boys are going to be turning 7 and they are ALL about Star Wars. So I made these Star Wars School Treats for their classmates.


I made the cookies with just a simple chocolate sugar cookie recipe or you could use a cookie mix. Then I rolled out my dough and cut them with a bell shape cookie cutter.




After I let them cool I took white vanilla frosting an a plain decorating tip. After decorating my cookies I made these tags for the treat bags:


I started out by making circles out of black card stock and scalloped scissors ( but I just turned them the other way to give them a sharp edging). Then I printed stormtroopers on office paper and cut them in a circle. After that I simply glued them together and Wrote on the back with a silver Sharpie.



To add a finishing touch I tied red wrapping ribbon around the bags an there you have it Darth Vader Cookies& Treat Bags.

Halloween School Treats

It's becoming so hard these days to make school treats for Holiday parties because of all the allergies and school rules. So I came up with this cute simple idea. I LOVE stampin up and I had these great Halloween stamps :

( batty for you, you can find them HERE)


So this is what I did:

I simply cut black scalloped circles out of card stock and cut out purple, and orange circles out of card stock then stamped the batty for you collections on the white card stock cut into circles and glued 1/4" wiggly eyes over top of the stamps eyes and then taped them on to lollipops and tied a matching ribbon around the stem of the lollipop. I had to make 30 of them and I think it only took me 1 hour.
