{Hot Cocoa Gift Set}


**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my daughters and I made for our very first craft fair**


Day 6: {Hot Cocoa Gift Set}



Inside the cups are 2 packs of hot cocoa and some Andes Peppermint Crunch Mints {love those!}.

I made these as gifts last Christmas, and everyone who received one loved it.  I thought they'd go over well at the craft fair, but was WRONG!!  Lots of people commented on how cute they were, and what a great gift idea they'd be, but we only sold ONE

They were priced at $5.00 each, and I thought that was fair given the amount of time that went into making each one.  Maybe everyone else thought it was too much?  I'm not too worried about it though, because now I've got 11 gifts that I don't have to make for Christmas!

The tutorial for these can be found HERE

{Tile Coasters}


**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my daughters and I made for our very first craft fair**


Day 5: {Tile Coasters}




I've made tile coasters in the past, and we use them all the time at our house.  They are a GREAT gift idea and can be personalized with pictures, soda cans, or scrapbook paper. 

I used some scrapbook paper for these, and had enough tile to make 4 sets.  We sold them for $6.00 a set, and ended up selling 2 of them.

If you'd like to make some of these, there's a fabulous tutorial HERE.

Day 4: {Santa Gum Holder}


This is such a great stocking stuffer idea!!  And they were pretty popular at the craft fair too!  We priced these at $2.00 each, or 3 for $5.00, and sold all but 5.

HERE is the tutorial for these cuties!

{Nugget Trays}



**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my girls and I made for our very first craft fair**

Day 3: {Nugget Trays}


These have been on my 'To Do' list for ages, and I was glad to finally have the chance to make them! 

The tutorial I used can be found HERE**The only change I made was cutting my cardstock at 1 7/8" x 5 so I could fit 5 nuggets in it**

**Edited**
The link is now fixed!  Also, I was asked to share how each item did at the craft fair.  We priced the Nugget Trays at $3.00 each, or 2 for $5.00, and sold 11 out of the 23 that we made.

{Snowman Popcorn}


**This year's '12 Days of Christmas' features the items that my daughters and I made for our very first craft fair**


Day 2: {Snowman Popcorn}


These cute little treats quickly SOLD OUT!  People kept coming to our booth asking for them after they were gone.  I {wish} that I would have made more!

The free snowman printable can be found HERE.  You can hand color them, or take the easy way out like I did and color them on your computer before you print them!

For the hat, I just cut a piece of felt, folded a little bit up for the brim of the hat, and hot glued it into place.  Then I cut slits in the felt, and tied a ribbon around it. 

These would make perfect neighbor/friend/teacher gifts!
