Just in time for Halloween. These best buddies can dish out the candies for you. Free tutorial on how to create this recycled can is located on my tutorials page. Video instructions with a material list is included in the video...so check it out. You can save two old cans on their way to the recycle bin! 

He's green and he's peaking over the edge of the counter-top. This is a large size can that was filled with tomatoes at one time. Instead of throwing these out I recycled them into something new and will last a very long time handing out candies to all the little kiddies that come for trick or treats. Full details are listed on my Tutorial page. These are instructions that you can adjust to your liking. This tutorial is to give you ideas you can recycle old cans. You can make other characters out of cans ....just use your imagination. Don't forget to post the ones you make. I would love to see how you make your Frankenstein come to life..maaaawwwhhhhhh.(evil laugh :0) )

As promised I have completed the tutorial of the Mummy Candy Holder. I have uploaded part one of two today and will upload the last installment on Monday.  To watch this tutorial go to my tutorials link to see not only this tutorial but where I will be posting all tutorial I make.

Snowman with a top hat and a snowflake makes just the right combination to inspire the holiday spirit. For the snowman lover in all of us this ornament will be a great addition to any collection.

When creating this ornament, which is the template, I used it to test a new tool for punching  rivets through the cork...that wasn't a good idea as you can see. It went through but I thought the back end would wrap around the cork. Anyhoo...it ended in a big hole here. My mind is not all here today. Normally I am much more careful with templates...ah well. Can't be perfect everyday. Craft on and be happy!! : 0)

*Tip of the day....never use good material and finished painted work for testing new equipment! 

.

I just completed 16 of these snowflakes ornaments. Wishing for cold to come these can be hung on a tree or just about anywhere you want. Snowman are my favorite thing to paint and decorate around the house before the month of December. I only get a chance to look at these when the season is upon us.  So taking advantage I start placing them around the house early.

Who could resist seeing these cuties hanging about.
