I made hanging gift presents from index cards!

Admittedly I skipped over the part where I had to have a picture with the materials 😭 I’m out of the house rn until the deadline so unfortunately I won’t be able to take another picture with materials. I had a picture though where you can see the index cards at the corner, plus I just used some yarn and crochet a few knots. Hope that’s okay! If not I totally understand. ^^
 
Merry Christmas Eve! I made an ornament out of an actual cookie I made from scratch. The cookie was baked and decorated as usual. Then coated with some silica gel (the kind used for preserving dried flowers). I've done this before and they last forever :)

Cookies, sprinkles, and icing. Silica gel isn't pictured because I used my neighbor's and I forgot to take a picture before giving it back :") I hope that's ok

Extra cookies I made! There were more but they got eaten :")
 
The spirit of the season comes to life off the pages of a book. All aboard for the adventures that await!

I started by making the book turning a hanging file into "fake leather" for the cover of the book. I also accidentally dyed the counter green from the folder soaking. That was fun:ROFLMAO: Adding this to cardboard made a book I was very happy with.

First figure I made out of clay and tinfoil to keep the piece light, unfortunately this one ended up being to large for the piece.

The train took me forever, but I'm really happy with it.

Made the sky in photoshop, but I need to find a better solution to not get clay "mess" on it by accident. I ended up getting a few cracks but was able to seal them with modge podge.

And my scariest moment was combining the two pieces together in hopes they wouldn't separate when being suspended. Thankfully the hot glue is holding strong, and the tinfoil made a huge difference in weight.
