Rein-beers

I give you Rein-beers! 
Materials needed: 
Santa-cotton balls, 1 red solo cup, gooly eyes, tall can (I used a Rolling Rock because the original picture used a PBR and no one in the house really felt like committing to drink a PBR tall can)
Sleigh: Cut a 12 pack box. (If you're having friends over, you might want to get a 30 pack too, otherwise your reindeer most likely won't survive the night!
Rein-beers: brown pipe cleaners to bend for antlers. I also used pipe cleaners for Santa's Reins. Coors Light (there are 8 reindeer + Rudolph) My brother reminded me of the exact reindeer count as well as names. Can you name them all? If you have kids under 10, you're cheating! ;)

How to:
The pin said to use hot glue but to stick the cotton balls to the red cup, I just used scotch tape. I don't have a hot glue gun...The pipe cleaners stayed put by being pulled taught.

Earring and Necklace Holders

Earring and Necklace holders




These I saw on pinterest and I adapted to work for how I wanted them to be. The necklaces are hanging from cabinet drawer shelves. Ask for scrap pieces of wood at your local hardware store. I painted them because as most people who know me know, my favorite color is lime green. The earring holders are drawer handles because when I was in the cabinet section, I thought that they would hold earrings really nicely.

Verdict: I love it and people who come over and see it like ti. I especially like it when I am getting ready in the morning. necklaces aren't tangled and I can see earring choices and which ones are missing partners.
