Comments
Use paint on a transparency
From: Caryn
Trout
Craft Idea for all occasions. Find your favorite pictures. Copy them on a
transparency and then use regular craft paint to paint it. You can then either leave it
like that, or you can cut around the shape. It makes like a stain glass window effect or
like the window clings.
Kathy's Paper Plate Stain Glass Window
 This is a simple idea that comes from Kathy Fogarty in San Diego. It is an easy craft that is
perfect for little hands
and can be adapted for holiday crafts. She
says, "I have used this idea with my three year old daughter and it went really well.
The paper plate (stained glass) craft came from a sample someone had made."
Great Gift & Fundraising Idea
Brownies in a Jar Gift
 Everyone loves
brownies. Brownies are the perfect gift and you'll love our Brownies in a Jar. All
you need is a one quart jar that you can pick up at your local craft store. Just
take the ingredients for the Double Fudge Brownie Mix and fill the jar. You can make
the jar festive by using a colorful ribbon to tie on the recipe instructions along with a
