This little guy is snow cute, he’ll ‘melt’ your heart. I’m sure with the holidays here, you’ve got some bottle caps lying around, or will soon have some.  Make sure you save them so you can turn them into these little snowmen.  Head on over to What I Live For for the tutorial.  { Post found via UCreatewithKids}

Hot Cocoa Candle

Get a jump on April Fool's with this yummy (looking) treat. A simple technique creates the whipped cream; brown dye gives the cocoa its luscious color.

Remember, never leave candles burning unattended or near unsupervised children.

Materials

2 3/4 cups soy wax flakes pouring container or heatproof measuring cup with spout one third of a 3/4-ounce cube of brown wax dye 6-ounce glass mug made for hot beverages 9-inch-tall prewaxed wire wick with clip

Instructions

1. To make the cocoa:
   Melt 1 3/4 cups of the soy wax flakes in a pouring container following these directions or in a heatproof measuring cup in the microwave according to the package directions. While the wax is melting, chop the dye into small pieces, then stir it into the wax.
2. Pour the wax into the mug and insert the wick. (If the wick tips, put a pencil across the top of the mug and lean the wick against it.) Let the candle cool, about 1 hour. The dye will lighten as the wax cools.
3. To make the whipped cream:
   Melt the remaining wax and let it cool until it's opaque, about 5 minutes.
4. Whip the wax with a fork until it begins to form frothy peaks. If the wax is too thin, wait a few minutes and try again. If it thickens too quickly, remelt it.
5. Scoop the whipped wax onto the cocoa as shown. Let it cool, then trim the wick so that it extends 1/4 inch.

We know this isn't a craft but had to share this with you - WE LOVE IT!

How to make a bucket of snowballs with Styrofoam balls and quilt batting.  Materials:

 
• Styrofoam balls
• Quilt or Craft Batting
• Colorfill "Diamond Vase Filler
• Tacky Glue  
  
  Directions:
              
  • Cut a circle from the batting large enough to wrap around your Styrofoam ball.
  • Brush a generous amount of tacky glue on the Styrofoam ball
  • Wrap the batting around the ball, trimming off any excess. Don't worry about making the batting perfectly smooth, as the imperfections will make your snowballs look more realistic.
  • Allow to dry thoroughly.
  
  • Pour Colorfill "Diamond" into a shallow bowl
  • Brush generous amount of glue on the top of the batting.
  • Dip the ball into the pellets and press to adhere them.
  • Repeat until the entire ball is covered with pellets. Allow to dry overnight.
