Christmas gifts

Every year I make Christmas gifts for the grand kids. This year I made Santa globes to hold sock warmers and a necklace. I made these using clay pots and painting them.

Wine bottles

The one with Santa sitting down, I started with a clear bottle. I used the spray paint called Frosted spray and I love it. I drew the lights on it and added a picture of Santa.

Soldering

This was a challenge, I have never soldered before and for me its not as easy as it looks.  However I enjoyed doing it and had fun learning. I will do other pieces with the solder.


Cork

Some necklaces I made using wine corks.


Wine cork key rings.

Theses are fun and not hard to make.
