Hot Chocolate Dippers

by admin

Try these easy hot chocolate dipping spoons for deliciously gooey treat. Choose your favourite sweet or mini chocolate to place in the chocolate. Pictured below is a Mini Oreo. Scroll down for more ideas.

Spoon a dollop of melted white chocolate onto a teaspoon. Place a small treat into the chocolate and chill to set.

Dip the spoon into milk or dark chocolate, covering half the treat (or all if you prefer). Scrape the bottom of the spoon to remove any excess. Chill to set.

Dip the spoon into a hot drink to make it melty and wonderful.

More Christmas Baubles

by admin

This is my last post about baubles. Really. Here is a simple way to make a plain Christmas bauble into something special with round glass pebbles. These pebbles are normally available in small bags at discount or craft stores. The string used to hang the baubles will need to be replaced with fishing line, as the pebbles make the bauble considerably heavier. Due to their weight, the baubles are not suitable for hanging on a Christmas Tree. I attached the pebbles with a hot glue gun. Click here for full instructions (Pdf)

Beaded Bookmarks

by admin

Here is a simple and inexpensive homemade gift to add to a birthday or Christmas card. These bookmarks are small, flat and lightweight, making them perfect for posting with cards. As our school year is almost finished we will be making them for our teacher appreciation gifts.

To make a Beaded Bookmark you will need an assortment of decorative beads, ribbon, needle nosed pliers and wire. The wire needs to be thin enough to fit through the holes but thick enough to hold it’s shape. I used 0.7mm (0.26″). The thin end of the bookmark is designed to slip inside the spine of the book. For this section I used small, tubular beads. If you cannot find tubular beads, try using small round beads. This will produce a slightly bulkier bookmark. Click here for full instructions (Pdf)
