Hope that you got some good ideas today (even if you do not sell your DIY crafts)! These are my top selling Christmas projects from the past three years! Which project was your favorite? The glass cube ornaments are my favorite. FYI, I saw the glass cube ornaments on display at Hobby Lobby last week. (Last year, I couldn’t find any in store and had to order them online.)
Sherry all of these DIYs are beautiful! I really love the glass cube ornaments!❤️💚🥰🎄
I love the vintage book & label images!!! Cannot wait to try them!
I cannot pick a favorite. That’s it. I just can’t. They are all superb, Cherie! ☺🙏✝🌲❤
The wood cube snowmen are so adorable! Easy project to do with children. I also like the little books, hot cocoa jars and the candle/matches set. Thanks for sharing!
All great ideas. A few years ago I collected salt and pepper shakers all year and made a boatload of snowmen. I used broken costume jewelry and eyelash trim yarn to decorate them. Such fun!
OMG – I love them all! What fun ideas! I don’t know that I could pick a favorite. Thank you so much for all the printables -I can’t wait to try them.
Those flat glass ornaments would also look nice with some old photographs of past Christmas or winter scenes with your family. I remember one photo I have around here someplace of my Dad dragging us three kids on our snow boards across a snow-covered lawn in front of our old house. Would look great with fake snow and a tiny sled and red ornaments inside.
I’ve missed these types of your DIYs – nice to see you bring them back!!
Just when I didn’t think I needed any more ideas for my all home-made ornaments for my tree from last year, I suddenly desire more! Those little wee books are just the ticket and I happen to be off work tomorrow and guess what I’ll be doing.
I used your glass block ornaments inspiration last year -I made for my vintage camper friends -I took pics of my friends campers from year before and made personalized gifts to pass out during our Christmas rally -they were a big hit . I think I will make the bird seed and cocoa jars this year. Thank you for ideas – I can never think of my own 😃
I love how the square clear ornaments turned out, I especially like the one with the chickadee (from the Christmas card). I have some cards like that, so I may try to make my own.
Sherry, these ideas are so creative! I love them all! And thank you for being so generous with links in your description box! Wow!
I loved the snowmen projects especially the shaker ones. I think I’ll set up a table at Christmas so anyone can make these. My second fav was the little book ornaments, so cute! Cant wait for next weeks video. ❤️
I love your crafting videos! They never fail to inspire me.
So many great ideas Sherry. On my ‘to try’ list are the little frames, the miniature books, and those cute little snowmen. We’re preparing for a craft sale at church to benefit a children’s charity and I think your ideas would be a hit.
Although this year I’m going for a totally different style and all my decor will be about fabric and sewing projects for EVERYTHING Christmas, I’m definitely saving this video for another year. So jam-packed with original and unique ideas! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you Sherry 💓
Sherry, you’ve covered all the bases! I see no reason to look any farther for holiday diy ideas. Thanks so much!
My daughter and I did those glass ornaments with vintage picture of our home town in brown tones. We used them on a donated tree for a fundraiser and they came out so good. I e always wanted to make some myself! You’ve inspired me!
Absolutely love the stocking filled ornaments. Easy and on the cheap. Thanks great video’s 💕
I always love everything you make ❤️ and you are ALWAYS so kind to include printables that you use. I can’t pick a favorite. They were all beautiful 😍
As usual, Sherry, you knocked this out of the park!!! I LOVE every single one of your fabulously creative and unique ideas! I especially love the bird seed gift as I also feed the sweet birdies in my backyard. And I love the very cute snowmen! I will make both of these projects next weekend. I plan on making the square glass ornaments as gifts for my coworkers. Thank you so very much for these wonderful ideas! God Bless you always!
I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate you sharing EVERYTHING we’ll need to make and sell these DIYs. I am overflowing with gratitude, and I am so thankful, Sherry! These DIYs are so beautiful! I love the Cocoa Jar Set a lot, but I’m wondering if you sell them as an ‘empty’ set or fill them up and sell them that way? Thank you for your kindness in sharing all of these and your wonderful creative talent! ♥
The birdseed jars and flat glass ornaments are awesome! First time watching your channel, your speech is distinctively clear and the instructions & materials are very precise. Great tutorial, TFS.
Your ideas and creativity are off-the-charts pure awesomeness! I can’t thank you enough for sharing it all with us. Keep it coming, please!
I’ve been enjoying your videos for the past months and I love them. This serie of gilding flakes is ingeniously wonderful! I received a container with GF from Tonic that I haven’t use because didn’t like what I saw in other videos. But definitely your ideas are brilliant and very well explained. Your cards look beautiful! Thank you!
I absolutely LOVE the square glass ornaments! Beautiful idea!💙
I can’t believe how amazing your videos are! Please continue to use thrift items in making gifts, they are so amazing! Thank you <3
Excellent well made video. ❤
Finally a channel with useful and beautiful diy ideas. Really good work here coming up with simple projects that pack “wow” factor ⭐️👍🏻
Wow wish I would have seen this a month ago…Great ideas thanks!
Excellent ideas, thank you sooo much for sharing!!!!
I just wanted to say that I really appreciate how you take care to pronounce your instructions clearly and slowly. It makes your videos easy to follow for all ages, and all levels of English language skill. 💛
Love, love, love ALL the videos in your tutorial – they are really great!
I was very disappointed that there was no link shown for all the lovely little prints you used!
I have just found your channel, have subscribed and will definitely watch all your videos from now on!
Take care 🥰
All of these are just great thanks for sharing.
Oh my, first time watching you. I love your ideas and you’re so crafty. I’m dying to download the sheet music and other vintage labels but a little scared. It wanted to access my computer. Is that normal? I thought I was just getting a copy. I’m not techy.
You are very creative and you were right when you said I would enjoy your video. I did! These are wonderful ideas, not difficult and very classy. I’m going to watch the next one too. God Bless you and thank you.
I just love the jar idea!! I make hard candy and fudge for family members every year and this will help me so much instead of small bags. They are always calling me asking for more. This way I can give them more ❤️
I love your Christmas gift ideas! Absolutely unique and beautiful!❤🌲
This brings back such nostalgic memories of my grandparents. Thank you so very much for providing this little trip down memory lane! Love everything! New subbie! 🤗
Your crafting room must be magnificent! Such fun ideas and all those little things for the inside of the glass ornaments!
