Holiday Sticks

I am always trying to come up with new, fun, creative ideas for products to sell on my site. Well, today I was trying to think of a fun craft to do with my kids and in turn I came up with my next addition to Design By JaNece! Now, I know there are people out there who will say, "I can make that myself" and to those people I say "BAH". Then do it yourself. But for those of you out there who don't have time or aren't the crafty type, I have a cute product for you! :) Introducing Holiday Sticks!!! It is not complete yet, but it is in the making. It includes, craft sticks, a bucket and lots of fun ideas! This not only will look cute, but your kids will love it AND give them something fun to do and look forward to. EXAMPLE: Halloween- You will take a bucket of sticks enough for every day of the month (you could put candy in the bottom-like M&M's or candy corn) and then take one out for each day. So on the first day of the month, you choose a stick and read what it says on the back. There will be a craft idea or fun game to play or something they can do for someone else. On the second day, you take out another stick and do that activity, and so on and so forth until all the stick are out and then it will be HALLOWEEN. You can keep track of how many days left 'til Trick or Treating time. What do you think??? I had capes next on my list to make, but this just came to me, so we're going to run with it!!!! Capes will come next month, I promise.

Fabrics for Trick or Treat Bags

  • Here they are! Candy bags for your cute & scary little 'Trick or Treat'ers! Three sizes for all their candy holding needs.

    Small (recommended for your youngsters ages 2-6) 10 x 10 inches $6

  • Medium (age 7-10) 10 x 14 inches $7

  • Large (for those bigger kids who plan on neighborhood-hopping to get as much candy as possible) 12 x 14 inches $8

The small and medium have cute appliqued bats, spiders or ghosts (except for the cat's eye material, which is fun and glittery). They are washable, but I would handwash to preserve the felt appliques or glitter for longer lasting use. Use them year after year! If you don't like the bats, spiders or ghosts, I can applique your initial instead (black or white) for $1 extra. Email me your order today before they're gone! janecemendoza@gmail.com
