Crafting Goodness: Update 1

So, I started all the projects I found on Pinterest. Here is the before picture: a can of white spray paint, a can of chalkboard spray paint, 3 larger circles (different sizes), 2 smaller circles (different sizes), a soap bottle (which didn't turn out, so you won't see pictures of that - sad face), and a wine bottle.

Here are the after pictures with descriptions...completed pictures are in the following order (from picture above): jar (next to black spray paint); wine bottle, circles.

I turned one jar into a homemade hot cocoa gift. I painted the strip with chalkboard paint and wrote hot cocoa on it with chalk. I added peppermint candy canes, which made the homemade hot chocolate taste much better. To decorate it all I did was add a red and white bow and some candy canes.

The wine bottle became a cranberry sprig holder...which can change according to the season.

Here's a progress shot of the snowmen.

The large snowman is almost complete...well, really, he just needs to be hung. I used real sticks from the tree in our yard (they've been weathered for several years). Painted the chalkboard and wrote Welcome on it.

The little snowman is hanging on our tree (I've made a few more, which will have homes shortly).
