Happy Holidays
To: All of my readers
From: The Kraska Family
Our holiday crafting is done for this year, at least I think it is. I have made all of my tags with embellishments from spare scrapbooking items, decorated packages with homemade items from polymer clay, the house is done, I think. Each friend and family member received their handmade Christmas cards (I hope). So I am done! For now.
I have a lot of ideas for next year and hope to post some of the more successful ones here.
Thanks for supporting my blog and have a safe and happy holiday season!
Bat Earrings
Bats can add some spooky fun to your Halloween jewelry collection. A couple of years ago a friend gave me these to use as a decoration for Halloween. With a little wire and some ear hooks, I quickly turned them into a pair of spooky Halloween earrings. Which after I made them, remembered I didn’t have pierced ears! So I gave them to my daughter in law, who turned them into a necklace. (she doesn’t have pierced ears either).
So this summer during a boring, rainy afternoon, I got out my polymer clay and make a dozen or so bats! I made them into earrings, necklaces and pins and sold them all at a garage sale.
I have a small bat cookie cutter that I used to cut out the bat shape and the rest was just filling in the texture and putting in a pair of orange eyes. They were very fun to make, and a hit at my garage sale!
