PLAID - CREATIVE IDEAS MADE EASY.

I LOVE MAKING MY OWN DECORATIONS FOR THE TREE AND AROUND THE HOUSE.

AND TODAY I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO MAKE AN AMAZING LOOKING ORNAMENT.

THE BEST PART IS THAT IT'S MADE OUT OF CARDBOARD SO IT'S THE PERFECT WAY TO RECYCLE ALL THE BOXES THAT SEEM TO PILE UP THIS TIME OF YEAR.

NOT ONLY ARE THESE ORNAMENTS BEAUTIFUL, THEY MAKE A WONDERFUL GIFT.

WE'RE USING RECYCLED CARDBOARD TO MAKE THESE ORNAMENTS, AND FOR OUR CIRCLE TEMPLATE WE'RE USING A PLAIN OLD CD.

EACH ORNAMENT REQUIRES TEN HALF CIRCLES AND ONE FULL CIRCLE.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO TRACE SIX CIRCLES ON CARDBOARD.

CAREFULLY CUT EACH OF THE CIRCLES OUT WITH A PAIR OF HEAVY-DUTY SCISSORS.

THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THE KIDS DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

ANOTHER REASON I REALLY LOVE MAKING THESE CARDBOARD ORNAMENTS IS BECAUSE AROUND THE HOLIDAYS WE HAVE SUCH AN ABUNDANCE OF BOXES AND THIS IS JUST A GREAT WAY TO USE THEM.

ONCE YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR PIECES CUT OUT YOU'RE GOING TO FIND THE CENTER LINE ON YOUR FULL CIRCLE.

WITH A PENCIL JUST DRAW A LINE DOWN THE CENTER.

TAKE YOUR FIRST HALF CIRCLE AND ADD SOME HOT GLUE ALONG THE STRAIGHT EDGE.

PLACE IT RIGHT ON TOP OF THE LINE THAT YOU JUST DREW AND LET THE GLUE DRY.

IT SHOULD JUST TAKE A MINUTE.

YOU WANT YOUR FIRST HALF CIRCLE PERPENDICULAR TO YOUR FULL CIRCLE.

PUT HOT GLUE ON ANOTHER HALF CIRCLE... AND PUT IT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF YOUR FIRST HALF CIRCLE MAKING SURE TO LINE THEM UP ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM.

SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE MAGIC...

IT LOOKS LIKE TWO INTERSECTING CIRCLES.

OUR NEXT STEP IS TAKING MORE HALF CIRCLES AND PUTTING THEM IN BETWEEN OUR INTERSECTING CIRCLES SO THAT WE CREATE A SPHERE.

AND OUR GOAL HERE IS TO GET TWO HALF CIRCLES IN BETWEEN EACH SECTION OF OUR INTERSECTING CIRCLES.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT USING HOT GLUE IS THAT IT DRIES QUICKLY.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO USE A SCHOOL GLUE WITH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS?

THE HOLIDAYS ARE A DIYER'S DREAM!

YOU CAN USE AS MUCH RIBBON AND GLITTER AS YOU WANT.

SEE HOW THAT'S HAPPENING?

CREATING A SPHERE... AND FROM ALL ANGLES IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE A BALL.

EVERY YEAR ABOUT THE END OF NOVEMBER MY FACEBOOK PAGE BLOWS UP WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS TO SHARE.

NOW THAT YOU'RE DONE ATTACHING ALL YOUR HALF CIRCLES, TAKE THIS OUTSIDE AND SPRAY PAINT IT WITH A METALLIC GOLD.

NOW IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF DESIGNS ON YOUR CARDBOARD YOU MIGHT WANT TO SPRAY IT WITH A PRIMER FIRST AND THEN HIT IT WITH THE METALLIC GOLD.

BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PATTERNS ON YOUR CARDBOARD JUST SPRAY IT WITH THE GOLD AND IT'LL BE FINE.

I'VE GOT ONE FINISHED RIGHT HERE.

SO WE'RE GOING FROM THIS TO THIS.

THE NEXT STEP IS ALL ABOUT MAKING IT SPARKLE WITH GLITTER.

SOME PEOPLE LOVE GLITTER, SOME PEOPLE HATE GLITTER.

I LOVE IT.

JUST GOING TO POUR A BUNCH ON THIS PAPER PLATE.

WE'RE TAKING SOME WHITE SCHOOL GLUE...

EDGE EACH HALF CIRCLE WITH A LINE OF GLUE, JUST LIKE THAT.

TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PART.

ONCE YOU HAVE IT EDGED IN GLUE YOU'RE JUST GOING TO ROLL IT ON THE PAPER PLATE WITH THE GLITTER TO COVER THE EDGE.

SEE WHAT WE DID THERE?

I REALLY LOVE MAKING THESE ORNAMENTS.

IF YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF LOOSE GLITTER LIKE I AM, YOU COULD USE A GLITTER GLUE BUT I DON'T FIND IT AS SPARKLY.

I THINK IT'S A SHAME THAT WE SPEND SO MUCH TIME RUNNING AROUND SHOPPING DURING THE HOLIDAYS AND WE DON'T SPEND AS MUCH TIME WITH OUR FAMILIES AS WE SHOULD.

PROJECTS LIKE THIS ACTUALLY CAN REALLY BRING A FAMILY TOGETHER.

WHEN YOU'RE USING LOOSE GLITTER LIKE THIS USE IT ON A PAPER PLATE OR A BIG FOLDER SO YOU CAN POUR IT BACK INTO YOUR GLITTER JAR WITHOUT MAKING A BIG MESS.

THIS STUFF GETS EVERYWHERE.

OKAY, WE HAVE OUR GLITTERIZED BALL.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO HOT GLUE A PIECE OF RIBBON SO THAT WE CAN HANG IT.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO NEED I GUESS ABOUT EIGHT INCHES OF QUARTER-INCH RIBBON.

YOU CAN USE ANYTHING - CURLING RIBBON...

THIS IS A SATIN RIBBON.

IT'S UP TO YOU, WHATEVER YOU HAVE AROUND.

AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PUT A BIT OF HOT GLUE ON IT, KIND OF TUCK IT IN BETWEEN TWO OF THESE HALF CIRCLES, JUST LIKE THAT.

HERE'S A TIP: IF YOU CAN SEE THE HOT GLUE WHEN YOU GLUE ON YOUR RIBBON, JUST ADD A LITTLE MORE GLITTER AND IT'LL STICK RIGHT TO IT.

NOW ALL WE NEED TO DO IS ADD ANOTHER BIGGER RIBBON AT THE TOP AND WE'RE DONE.

I'M GOING TO TAKE A SATIN RIBBON BUT YOU CAN USE ANYTHING YOU WANT.

THERE'S NO SHORTAGE OF RIBBONS THIS TIME OF YEAR.

OKAY, WE HAVE OUR BOW AND NOW WE'RE JUST GOING TO GLUE IT TO THE BASE OF OUR HANGING RIBBON RIGHT ON THE TOP OF OUR ORNAMENT.

AND NOW THAT WE'VE GLUED OUR BOW TO THE TOP OF THE ORNAMENT YOU'RE READY TO GO DECORATE YOUR HOUSE.

WAIT... HOW MANY MORE OF THESE DO I HAVE TO MAKE?

IF YOU WANT TO GO BIGGER WITH THIS TECHNIQUE, WHY NOT TRY MAKING AN ENTIRE WREATH?

I'M A HUGE FAN OF DIY GIFTS.

WHEN I GET SOMETHING MADE BY A FRIEND IT'S JUST THAT MUCH MORE SPECIAL TO ME.

THIS NEXT PROJECT IS A SIMPLE GIFT THAT YOUR FASHIONABLE FRIENDS WILL LOVE.

SHOE CLIPS ALLOW YOU TO CHANGE THE LOOK OF YOUR SHOES FOR EVERY HOLIDAY PARTY YOU ATTEND AND THEY'RE SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE TO MAKE.

ONCE YOU LEARN HOW TO MAKE THEM YOU'LL DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE A PAIR FOR YOURSELF.

THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS HEAD TO A DOLLAR STORE OR AN INEXPENSIVE JEWELRY STORE AND BUY A MATCHING PAIR OF EARRINGS OR BROOCHES.

I FOUND THESE AT A DOLLAR STORE AND I THINK THEY'RE PRETTY CHIC.

WITH A PAIR OF HEAVY-DUTY WIRE CUTTERS YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO CLIP OFF THE PIN OR THE EARRING ON THE BACK.

UGH!

IT'S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE MUSCLE TO GET THESE PIECES OFF.

SOME OF THEM COME OFF EASILY, SOME OF THEM ARE ON THERE PRETTY GOOD.

YOUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THE PIECES AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE ON THE BACK.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE SURPRISED HOW EASY THESE ARE TO MAKE.

TAKE TWO CLIP-ON EARRING BACKS AND WITH INDUSTRIAL GLUE YOU'RE GOING TO GLUE THE EARRING BACK ON THE BACK OF THE BROOCH.

BUT NOT THE PART THAT YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE GLUING.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE GLUING THIS LITTLE SWIRLY PART WHICH NORMALLY GOES IN THE BACK OF THE EAR.

I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO GLUE THIS BIG FLAT PIECE TO THE BACK OF THE BROOCH BUT DON'T DO IT.

THE REASON IS BECAUSE THIS BIG FLAT PIECE IS GOING TO GO UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF YOUR SHOE AND IT HAS TO LAY FLAT SO THAT IT DOESN'T IRRITATE THE FOOT.

JUST LIKE THAT.

NOW YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A REALLY STRONG INDUSTRIAL GLUE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT THIS FLYING OFF WHILE YOU'RE DANCING WITH UNCLE CHARLIE.

USE A GENEROUS AMOUNT ON THE BACK PART OF THE CLIP AND ATTACH IT TO THE BROOCH.

ONCE THE INDUSTRIAL GLUE HAS DRIED ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CLIP THESE ON THE FRONT OF YOUR SHOES AND YOU'RE READY TO GO DANCING.

THE GREAT THING ABOUT IT IS THAT YOU CAN SWITCH THESE OUT ANY TIME YOU WANT.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

IS ANYBODY ELSE ALLERGIC TO PINE TREES?

OR MAYBE YOU'RE JUST ALLERGIC TO CLEANING UP AFTER THEM.

I SAW A MODERN CARDBOARD TREE DISPLAY LAST YEAR AND PETER IS HERE TO HELP US MAKE A STANDING PLYWOOD VERSION OF IT SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT STURDIER.

THESE TREES GIVE A GREAT MODERN LOOK AND IF YOU'RE NOT FOND OF GREEN YOU'LL FINALLY HAVE A CHANCE TO HAVE THAT PURPLE TREE YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED.

PETER MARR HAS EXPERIENCE IN ALL REALMS OF CONSTRUCTION FROM CELEBRITY HOMES TO THE SET WE'RE STANDING ON RIGHT NOW.

FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS HE'S BEEN THE HOST OF A VARIETY OF HOME DECOR TELEVISION SHOWS, SHARING HIS KNOWLEDGE OF BUILDING.

TO TOP IT ALL OFF, PETER IS AN AWARD-WINNING COMIC.

AFTER YOU'VE FIGURED OUT HOW TALL AND HOW WIDE YOU WANT YOUR TREE TO BE, TRACE HALF OF YOUR TREE PATTERN ON A PIECE OF PLYWOOD.

MARK, I CAME UP WITH THIS IDEA BECAUSE I SAW A VERSION OF THIS MADE OUT OF CARDBOARD AND I THOUGHT, WHY NOT MAKE IT OUT OF PLYWOOD.

THAT WAY IT'S STURDY AND YOU CAN USE IT YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.

AND HERE'S OUR PATTERN AND I THINK WE'RE READY TO CUT.

ALRIGHT!

AFTER YOU'VE CUT OUT YOUR FIRST PATTERN, USE THAT AS A TEMPLATE TO TRACE OUT THE REST OF YOUR TREE WITH.

NOW ALL THE PIECES ARE GOING TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME.

AFTER YOU'RE DONE CUTTING THE FOUR PIECES SMOOTH THE ROUGH EDGES WITH SOME SANDPAPER.

I'M ALREADY THINKING OF INTERESTING WAYS WE CAN FINISH THIS WHEN WE'RE DONE.

I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT LATER.

WELL, VERY GOOD.

KEEP YOU IN SUSPENSE.

NOW THAT WE HAVE OUR FOUR PIECES CUT OUT WE'RE READY TO PUT THE TREE TOGETHER.

ALL OF OUR PIECES ARE GOING TO ATTACH TO THIS 1"X1" CUT THE HEIGHT OF OUR CHRISTMAS TREE.

SO WE'RE LINING THIS 1"X1" UP TO THE STRAIGHT EDGE OF OUR TREE PATTERN AND WE'RE GOING TO DRIVE SOME SCREWS INTO IT.

THE SCREW LENGTH JUST NEEDS TO BE LONG ENOUGH TO GO INTO THE PIECE OF WOOD AND NO FURTHER.

FIRST SIDE DONE.

NOW THE NEXT STEP, YOU TAKE YOUR SECOND PATTERN, LINE IT UP ON YOUR FIRST PIECE RIGHT ON THE INSIDE CORNER WHERE THE 1"X1" JOINS TO YOUR FIRST PIECE AND THEN YOU SCREW IT ON JUST LIKE YOU DID THE FIRST TIME.

EASY.

THE FIRST PIECE LINES UP ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE 1"X1".

THE SECOND PIECE GOES RIGHT INTO THAT INSIDE CORNER.

THE THIRD PIECE IS GOING TO GO RIGHT INTO THIS INSIDE CORNER... JUST... LIKE...

SO.

IF YOU HAVE A REALLY SMALL APARTMENT YOU COULD STOP WITH THREE PIECES AND PUT THIS FLAT UP AGAINST THE WALL, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

IT COULD BE A WALL TREE.

OR IF YOU WANT IT TO BE A CORNER TREE YOU CAN STOP BEFORE YOU EVEN PUT THIS PIECE ON AND JUST USE THESE TWO.

NOW WE HAVE OUR LAST PIECE TO PUT ON.

NOW THAT IT'S SANDED WE CAN FINISH IT ANY WAY WE WANT.

I WOULD EITHER SPRAY PAINT IT OR PAINT IT WITH A CHALKBOARD PAINT.

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE THE KIDS CAN DECORATE IT ANY WAY THEY WANT.

♪ HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MARK.

MY GIFT TO YOU.

EVER SINCE I WAS A KID I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED SNOW GLOBES.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE FALLING SNOW THAT JUST MAKES ME CALM AND HAPPY.

TODAY I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE SNOW GLOBES.

THIS PROJECT IS A GREAT WAY TO SHOWCASE THOSE SMALL KNICK KNACKS OR SOUVENIRS THAT YOU BRING HOME FROM A TRIP.

SO IT'S THE PERFECT WAY TO DISPLAY A MEMORY.

PLUS THEY MAKE A GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT.

THERE ARE A COUPLE DIFFERENT WAYS TO MAKE SNOW GLOBES.

THE TRADITIONAL WAY IS USING AN UPSIDE DOWN JAR JUST LIKE THIS.

AND THE OTHER WAY, WHICH I REALLY LOVE, IS USING A FISHBOWL TURNED UPSIDE DOWN ON A CANDLE PLATTER.

YOU CAN FIND THESE CANDLE PLATTERS AND FISHBOWLS AT PRETTY MUCH ANY DOLLAR STORE.

THE FIRST THING YOU WANT TO DO IS FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU WANT TO PUT INSIDE EACH SNOW GLOBE.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT FITS.

SO I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS HERE: A LITTLE ANGEL, A LION, THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, A KEYCHAIN FROM MY TRIP TO PARIS.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS KIND OF PLAY AROUND AND SEE WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH AS FAR AS A DESIGN.

AND ALSO IF IT'S GOING TO FIT.

SO THAT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

ONCE WE'VE FIGURED OUT OUR LITTLE COMPOSITION HERE YOU CAN USE AN INDUSTRIAL GLUE OR A REALLY STRONG HOT GLUE TO GLUE EVERYTHING TO THE BASE DISH.

OKAY, SO WE'VE GOT THAT GLUED DOWN.

YOU REALLY WANT TO BE GENEROUS WITH THE GLUE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT THESE TO COME APART INSIDE OF THE SNOW GLOBE.

NOW I WAS THINKING YOU PROBABLY COULD GO TO A PET STORE AND IN THE FISH DEPARTMENT THEY'D HAVE A LOT OF REALLY FUN THINGS THAT WOULD WORK INSIDE OF A SNOW GLOBE.

NOW THAT WE'VE GLUED EVERYTHING ON WE'RE JUST GOING TO DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR LID FITS NICELY ON TOP.

AND IT DOES!

THIS IS GREAT.

OKAY, WE'RE HALFWAY THERE.

THE NEXT THING WE DO IS FILL THIS UP WITH WATER ALMOST TO THE TOP.

IT'S GOOD TO USE A DISTILLED WATER BECAUSE IT'S MUCH MORE CLEAR.

THE NEXT THING WE'RE GOING TO DO IS ADD GLYCERIN TO THE WATER AND THIS MAKES THE WATER MORE VISCOUS SO THAT THE SNOW FLOATS DOWN INSTEAD OF JUST FALLS TO THE BOTTOM.

WE'RE GOING TO ADD A COUPLE OF TABLESPOONS TO EACH ONE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT STIRRING IT UP YET.

IT'S A SNOW GLOBE, WE'LL BE SHAKING IT A LOT, DON'T WORRY.

NOW THAT WE'VE ADDED GLYCERIN TO THE WATER... TIME TO ADD OUR GLITTER.

I HAVE SILVER AND I HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL OCTAGONAL SHAPED SNOW.

SO WE'RE GOING TO DO BOTH OF THEM.

YOU WANT ABOUT HALF A TEASPOON OF GLITTER IN YOUR SNOW GLOBE.

I'M JUST GOING TO ADD A TINY BIT OF SILVER TO GIVE IT SOME SPARKLE.

OUR NEXT STEP FOR THE JAR SNOW GLOBE IS TO SIMPLY SLIP THIS IN AND TIGHTEN THE LID AS MUCH AS WE POSSIBLY CAN SO THAT THE WATER DOESN'T SLIP OUT.

NOW FOR AN EXTRA SEAL YOU CAN TAKE AN INDUSTRIAL GLUE AND GO AROUND THE INSIDE RIM OF THE LID BEFORE YOU SCREW IT ON.

FOR THE FISHBOWL SNOW GLOBE WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AN INDUSTRIAL GLUE AND GO AROUND THE RIM OF THE BOWL.

AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LET IT DRY OVERNIGHT BEFORE YOU FLIP IT OVER.

SO I'M JUST GOING TO DO THIS WITH INDUSTRIAL GLUE SO YOU CAN SEE HOW IT WAS DONE.

YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE GENEROUS WITH THE GLUE ALL THE WAY AROUND.

THEN TAKE OUR LITTLE GUY HERE, FLIP HIM UPSIDE DOWN... JUST LIKE THAT.

ONCE WE HAVE THIS ON TOP WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE IT ALONE FOR AT LEAST 12 HOURS SO THAT THE GLUE CAN DRY.

YOU WANT TO BE REALLY CAREFUL NOT TO GET THE GLUE WET.

AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE... YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS... LITTLE MONKEY GUY... LOOK AT HIM.

ALRIGHT, ARE YOU READY TO SEE OUR JAR SNOW GLOBES?

FLIP THIS OVER...

SHAKE IT UP... AND I MADE THIS ONE FOR MY NEPHEW BECAUSE HE'S GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL SOON.

I'M SURE HE WANTS MONEY AND NOT A SNOW GLOBE BUT HE'S GETTING A SNOW GLOBE.

ALL THE FUN OF SNOW WITHOUT THE 30 BELOW.

I'M ABOUT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU THE MOST POPULAR GIFT GIVER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

I ALWAYS CHALLENGE MYSELF EVERY HOLIDAY TO COME UP WITH NEW AMAZING WRAPPING IDEAS AND THIS YEAR IS NO EXCEPTION.

EVERYONE WILL FEEL SPECIAL WHEN THEY SEE HOW ARTFULLY THEIR PRESENT IS WRAPPED.

FOR ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE LOTS OF LITTLE PIECES OF PAPER AND THINGS HANGING AROUND THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO THROW AWAY, THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO WRAP A GIFT.

BASICALLY I'VE TAKEN A FLOWER PUNCH AND PUT IT THROUGH THE SEWING MACHINE AND WRAPPED A PLAIN WHITE BOX WITH THE GARLAND.

YOU CAN ALSO DO THE SAME WITH PAILLETTES.

YOU CAN GET FAUX FLOWERS AT ANY DOLLAR STORE AND JUST A NICE SELECTION HOT GLUED ON TOP OF A PLAIN BOX LOOKS AMAZING.

IF YOU HAVE SOME EXTRA YARN AND A PAPER BAG THIS POM POM WRAPPING IS PERFECT FOR THE KIDS.

YOU CAN MAKE A POM POM WITH A FORK BY WRAPPING YARN AROUND THE TINES AND TYING IT IN THE CENTER OR YOU CAN HEAD TO THE LOCAL FABRIC STORE AND BUY A POM POM MAKER.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE WAYS TO PERSONALIZE A GIFT.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TYPE OUT SOMEONE'S NAME IN DIFFERENT FONTS AND PRINT IT OUT ON A PIECE OF COMPUTER PAPER AND YOU'RE DONE.

FOR THIS BOW RUN SOME FABRIC THROUGH A BIAS MAKER OR CUT 2" STRIPS OF FABRIC AND WRAP IT AROUND YOUR GIFT FOR A VERY SPECIAL LOOK.

FOR YOUR ARTY GIFT RECIPIENTS HAVE THE KIDS HELP YOU MAKE AN ANDY WARHOL PIECE OF WRAPPING PAPER WITH YOUR COMPUTER.

AND IF YOU WANT TO ADD A LITTLE SPARKLE, THIS IS ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS TO DO IT.

ALL YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IS SOME DOUBLE STICK TAPE AND SOME GLITTER AND LET ME SHOW YOU HOW: TAKE OFF A PIECE OF DOUBLE STICK TAPE... PLACE IT ON YOUR WRAPPED PACKAGE... SPRINKLE SOME GLITTER ON IT... AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.

I HOPE IT'S A PUPPY!

TODAY WE HAD A GREAT TIME MAKING THE HOLIDAYS SPECIAL.

WE DECORATED WITH CHIC CARDBOARD ORNAMENTS; MADE FASHIONABLE SHOE CLIPS FOR GIFTS; GREW OUR OWN FREE STANDING PLYWOOD TREE; CREATED MAGICAL SNOW GLOBES; AND LEARNED A BUNCH OF BEAUTIFUL WRAPPING TECHNIQUES.

THANKS FOR SPENDING THE HOLIDAYS WITH US.
