We Can Help With Christmas Traditions

Christmas is a great time to create new traditions or enjoy old ones with family and friends. 

To help you create these memories, here are a few ideas that will bring you lots of laughter during the holidays!

1) Decorate Gingerbread Houses: We have kits that are ready for you to decorate!

2) Games & Puzzles: Gather the family and some friends for a fun night playing games. Set a puzzle on a table, and go back to it throughout the holiday season.

3) Christmas Cards: Handmade cards let the recipient know how much you care! We have beautiful Christmas stamps, paper and embellishments to choose from. Don’t forget that you can use our Die-Cut Machines to cut hundreds of shapes. It’s a great way to make personalized gift tags!

4) DIY Ornaments: Shop our great selection of unique ornaments, or create your own with clear ornaments, ceramic shaped ornaments, or ready-to-decorate kits. Remember and look back on each year as you pull out your ornaments to decorate your tree.

5) Coloring Books: Have a family coloring night! We have new coloring books for all ages from adults to little ones. It’s a great time to bond with the kids! 

We love family traditions, so if there’s anything we can do to help you create these beautiful moments, let us know!

What's on Santa's List?

He's making a list and checking it twice...

going to find out who's naughty and nice.

We have some great ideas to help out. From Ty Flippables that change colors as you pet them to Jurassic in a Tin, there are many fun choices of great gifts. Melissa and Doug wooden alphabet, numbers or animals magnets are a great learning toy that is fun to add to the fridge. Our Melissa and Doug Design Activity Kits are fun for kids and perfect for travel entertainment.

For those who may be on the naughty list we have a few coal candy ideas along with some novelty candy "poop". These will surely give someone a laugh.

Don't forget to stop by and visit Santa on his last visit to our store Saturday Dec. 8th. Every purchased photo package will include a FREE Gnome make-and-take project.

DIY Buffalo Plaid Crafts

We have a new stencil that makes creating buffalo plaid very easy. Christy painted this pallet board with red acrylic paint, then after it was dry she placed the stencil down and and used a chip brush to apply black Marabu Fashion Spray with a dry brush technique.  Just dip it in a small cup of the Fashion Spray, then dab off excess and rub chip brush over the stencil in a circular motion to get paint in all of the grooves. The stencil is not large enough to do the whole thing, so you will need to move it around the board while carefully matching up the pattern.

Create a Christmas in Heaven Lantern

We think of Christmas as a time of peace and joy, but for someone missing a loved one it can also be a time of sadness. Create this Christmas in Heaven lantern as a reminder of a loved one.

The chair was created from clothespins following a Youtube video like this one.

The verse was printed on parchment paper and the ends were wrapped around a pencil to create a scroll.

Christmas in Heaven

What do they do?

They come down to earth

To spend it with you.

So save them a seat

Just one empty chair.

You may not see them,

But they will be there.

You can find the supplies at your Bonney Lake Ben Franklin Crafts and Frame Shop.
