Weekend DIY crafts; mostly Christmas

It was a little stir crazy around the house this weekend as we were iced in for 5 LONG days.  With the exception of the kiddos going sledding across the street with friends, I was locked inside with LOTS of time!!  So, what better to do than browse Pinterest and find some fun and easy things to make!!  
I went a little crazy!!!

Here are a few things I made….

Santa Cups to fill with with treats for my DI kiddos!!
*red cups 6 for $.88 at Walmart, electrical tape and
glitter foam paper cut in squares for belt buckles

Personalized Christmas Totes for my Kiddos :)
*designed on computer and printed on iron on transfer paper
I suggest using DARK color transfer paper for the totes
