Day 9 - Some Crafts for You

Scented Lighting

*Supplies.... One glass jar approx. 6 inches high and 4 inches around. (Can be fancy like hurricane type candle jar or any large jar I'll bet a canning quart jar would work even), potpourri of your choice, lace doily to fit top of jar, string of small christmas lights (35 or less), and a bit of ribbon to tie around jar top.

Place the lights in the jar as many as you can close to the outside edge of  the jar as possible... fill with potpourri working it down around the lights....cover jar with doily,  tie ribbon around jar to secure doily. The cord will come out of the top of the jar to plug in.
 
The lights heat the potpouri just enough to release the scent and they work up really pretty!

Scented Pie

*Hello and ho ho ho here's an idea for you!  As a wonderful scented gift try this:
take a terra-cotta pot base about 8 inches wide and a piece of fabric around 2 inches wide and 18 inches long fold in half now glue in a fan shape around the inside edge of pot base (like a pie crust) now fill with potpourri and a little cinnamon apple oil.  now take thin strips of material around 3/4 inch wide and 9 inch long and glue on in a criss cross pattern. (hint use craft glue, not a hot glue) glue on fruit slices of your choice sprinkle with a little sugar and either cinnamon or paprika (for color) blow of the excess preheat oven to 350 shut off and place pie inside after 10 min set out on table and enjoy the fresh smell of a pie baking.  to refresh drop in a few drops oil and enjoy!

SNOWMAN JAM JAR (GLASS JAR WITH LID) 

1 Jam Jar 
cotton wool 
glue (pva) 
felt fabric for features 
you could use goggle eyes (ones that move) 

Cover jar with glue and cotton wool. Then make a ball of  cotton wool and stick it to the lid. Fill the jar with sweets or small presents and put the lid on the jar. Now use your imagination to create a jolly snowman by using the felt fabric to make eyes, nose, mouth, hat, scarf, buttons and any other bits you can think of.
