Hi friends! This is Amber from Crazy Little Projects here to kick off the holiday season with a fun, cute and simple Christmas project.
I’m excited for the holiday season (truth is, I am already fully involved in baking, shopping, and crafting for Christmas!) – I love putting little gifts in jars and I love covering things in glitter. Put those things together and throw some chocolate inside and it can’t be beat! Here are some Christmas Treat Jars:
Once your red glitter is dry, wrap a piece of black ribbon around the jar and hot glue it in place. Cut a square slightly larger than your ribbon and cut out the center of the square to make a belt buckle. Hot glue that in place and then fill it up with candy!
These look fun to make with the kids... if you can handle glitter of course! Not sure I would use them for food treats, but super cute for a family craft and for decoration. My girls LOVE glitter - so guessing these will be a big hit in our house, well, that is until my husband see the glitter :)

This Shiny Heart Card is not only easy to make, but the kids will love to create the shiny pattern shimmering in the heart!
Here's what you'll need:
• Construction paper
• Tin foil
• Q-Tips
• Paint and brush
• Scissors
• Glue
Directions:
1. Cut a piece of tin foil as big as you will make the front of your card. Paint it any color you
choose.
2. Before the paint dries, take a Q-Tip and wipe away some of the paint in a neat pattern, or you
can write a message like: "I Love You", "Happy Mother's Day", "Mom", or "Be Mine" for Valentines
Day. **You will have to use a few Q-tips since they will get saturated with paint after a few strokes
and won't wipe away the paint well.
3. While you're waiting for the paint to dry, cut out the inside and outside of your card. We used
two different colors. You will have to cut a heart shape out of the front, the back stays intact. This
is a good time to write your message inside the card; younger children can draw a picture inside.
4. Once the paint is dry on your foil you will need to sandwich the card. Place the tin foil between
the outside and inside paper, making sure you can see the tin foil through the heart shape. Glue the
tin foil in place and then glue the inside and outside papers together.
There you have it - Shiny Heart Card! This card is really great for any occasion, not just Valentine's Day. Keep it in mind for Birthday's, Mother's Day or just because. Have Fun!
Thank you HILLTOP CHRISTIAN SCHOOL for sharing this great craft!

OUR REVIEW:
This is an easy, fun way to add additional magic to the holiday season. We did this last year and we left the picture for the kids to find next to our Elf. They assumed the Elf took the picture for them and they loved it. We sent a gift certificate to my sister to do a picture for her older kids, (which are too old to believe in Santa), and they thought it was pretty cool and funny. She had wished she had known about iCaughtSanta.com when they were younger. We are looking forward to adding to the magic Christmas morning again this year. If your kids are too old to believe, or your family believes in something other then "Santa", iCaughtSanta.com is a really a fun way to spice up those Christmas cards!
