ETCHED GLASS IDEAS
Etched beer glasses/ wine glasses (from dollar tree!)
decorate some glass bottles & add M&M's with this poem attached:
The M & M's Christmas Story
As you hold these candies in your hand,
and turn them, you will see...
The M becomes an E, and then a 3.
They tell the Christmas story. It's one I'm sure you know.
It took place in a stable a long, long, time ago.
The *E* is for the East, where the star shone so bright.
The *M* is for the Manger, where Baby Jesus slept that night.
The *3* is for the wise men, who came bearing gifts.
So as you eat these candies,
or share them with your friends,
remember the meaning of Christmas.
It's a love story that never ends.

We were awakened when we heard santa call

But soon we discovered out on the front lawn
Santa and his reindeer were gone
With our little shovels we started to scoop
All of the droppings… YUCK! Reindeer poop!
So, then we generously filled you up a sack,
Have a merry Christmas and enjoy your snack!
Tic Tacs Covered with a snowman
Snowman Kisses
He's cute, cuddly, & full of good wishes. He wants to give you these Snowman Kisses! XOXO
It is just the cutest. I used a retired Snowman set from SU - Cold Play and the 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" Circle punches to create the front.
These are quick and easy to put together. Just measure your Tic-Tac container and cut card stock to cover it. Stamp and punch hole. Attach ribbon - long enough to tie a bow. Cover Tick-Tac container and decorate the front with your favorite snowman.
etched wine glasses, with some homeade coaster, some chocolate and a bottle of wine.
make monogram stencils and then etch glass jars that can be placed in the bathroom to hold cotton balls, q-tips, etc.
