 Here's the worktable with the components of this month's Craft Kit.





 My kids snuck down for some of the breakfast goodies...



So here's the deal, this month's Craft Night will be Friday, December 9th at 7pm and is open to a limited number of guests.  Please email us to reserve a spot and we'll email you a paypal request.  We also offer the kits for purchase.  They are $10 a kit, which makes one tree.  They are also available in a bulk discounted set of 10 kits for $85, so you can do your own Craft Night!  This kit includes everything you'll need to make one tree, except your glue gun, glue, and scissors. Unfortunately there is a paypal charge of $3, and any shipping charges are extra.  Email us (like usual) at holidaysnob@gmail.com if you have questions or call 720-837-6168.  We'll link up to Fox's show as soon as its up and you can see the Holiday Snobs in action!
 

For all our local friends, here's a quick look at our project for September's Craft Night.

2.  We made the cake stands by using Gorilla Glue to attach a glass candlestick to a plate.  We Modge-podged paper onto the plate, but didn't include a picture of that.

3.  Next, use hot glue to attach crepe paper around the outside of the plate.  It will cover any uneven cutting of the paper :)

4.  For the blocks we used a 4x4x8 piece of wood, and then cut it into an 8" long rectangle, 6" rectangle and a 3.5" square for the top and painted them white.


5.  For the middle block, we covered it in two lines of ruffled streamers.  Use hot glue to make a line, then press the sewn middle of the streamer into the line of glue.  Wrap around all four sides.  Then repeat for a second layer of ruffles.


6.  The square and 8" rectangle were covered in paper.  For the square you'll need 6 different patterns, cut into 3.25" x 3.25" squares.  For the rectangle you'll only need two long pieces, 7.75"x 3.25", and two squares, 3.25" x 3.25"  The bottom of the block won't ever show and the top of the block is mostly covered by the ruffled rectangle above it.

7.  Mod-podge the paper on.

Here's a picture of the blocks finished through these steps so far:





10.  We added vinyl to the bottom and top pieces of wood. We cut "days until my" in Simply Sweet at 1" and "Birthday!" in 1.5".   Then we cut numbers 0-5 in 3 inches


This set was made by Glitta's sister, isn't it cute??

For this month's local craft night we are making these fun birthday countdown "cakes" on cake stands!  We'll post the tutorial online in a couple weeks, the day after Craft Night!
