Hola Amigos! I just realized that I've made one paper napkin wreath for every occasion but Christmas, what??? No way, lol...so here it is, the Christmas edition of my favorite 15 minute, all season, dollar store decor!

As usual everything came from our local dollar store. This time I didn't even had to go out and actually buy anything. I had it already at my house.

The colorful napkins I got as part of the items my son's teacher asked for their Xmas party. The few ornaments are the ones at bottom of the ornament bin...you know, the ones that have lost the little top hook thingy through the seasons...these particular ones, also from the dollar store and a little strand of battery operated lights that I discovered this year for just $1!
DIY Snowman Christmas Paper Napkin Wreath, the easiest, cheapest but prettiest way to bring color and festive cheer to your door is this colorful wreath, not just for Christmas but the rest of winter with the friendly snowman as the center of attention and smiles! #winter #snowman #wreath #paper #holiday

The only new addition was the snowman hat that I also bought at the dollar store for my son to wear at his school party. Put it all together and here is your wreath!

I love a quick project! I didn't have a wreath for my outside door this year, I guess it slipped my mind with all the other things I had going on, but that is not the case now!
Thank you for your visit today friends! Hope you are having a wonderful official first day of Winter! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Pancho de Nieve=Frank Our Snowman

DIY Snowman Night Light, head over the dollar store near you and with less than $5 you can make this cute night light for the little one in your life. It is a hit, guaranteed! #Christmas #Nightlight #snowman #diykidscraft

This is the story of Francisco aka "Pancho" our snowman...in Northern Lands he goes by Francis aka "Frank"! Unlike other snowmen, Pancho is not cold to the touch but warm and some would say, even cuddlier!

Our Pancho doesn't worries about the sun coming up every morning, about the pesky rabbits trying to reach his carrot nose or the little cold birds trying to set a nest on his hat!

Our Pancho spends his days among Trucks, Cars, Little People, Buzz, Teddy's and his best friend is Curious George! He also thinks everyday of the year is summer time since all the walls are covered in with boats, beach balls, fishes and anemones! He loves it there...but he loves it even more...When Night Time Comes!
Why?...well stick around and you will find out why...In the meantime, let's see how our cuddly friend came to be!


Pancho The SnowMan

2 Fish Bowls one with ruffled edges the other one plain
 (mine are from The Dollar Tree)
1 pair of Men's White  Socks
1 pair of Adult Fuzzy Socks 
(both my socks are from The Dollar Tree)
String of white lights
googly eyes, puffs or buttons and your handy dandy glue gun


This is super easy, take the plain edge bowl and place it inside the ruffled one. You just made Pancho's head (the plain bowl) and body (the ruffled bowl)!!!

Now, we can't leave our friend just like that! Take 1 of your men's white socks and stuff both bowls (ruffled bowl first ) into the sock. the "toes" of the sock will be at the bottom of your Pancho, just like if you were putting on your own socks. Take one of your Adult Fuzzy Socks and stretch it as much as you can..this will become Panncho's scarf. Wrap it around Pancho's neck (where both bowls meet) Take the other sock and  place it on Pancho's head to make his hat. You can tie a rubber band around the excess of the sock (the toe part) to make a pom pom for his hat.


The rest is up to your imagination...eyes, button nose, pom-poms for buttons, flowers for his scarf, you name it give Pancho some personality!

 I found that placing the string of lights inside our friend, would be easier at the end when I had an idea of how he would look like . 
What you do is you poke a hole on the sock in the back of "the neck" and start pushing the lights to the bottom bowl little by little...don't worry about the hole been noticed, the scarf will cover it!
And there you go...your own Pancho!

See how sweet Pancho looks? He is really all Warm and Fuzzy inside...and such a nice glow...he keeps and eye every night on the little boy he shares his room with! he really "Loves the Night Life" When he becomes a star on his own shinning his light on his best's buddy's dreams...until morning comes...
DIY Nightlight Snowman, brighten your way into the holidays with this cute snowman for less than $5! Make one to represent each member of the family and enjoy the soft glow of your Holiday Nightlight! #Christmas #Snowman #diykidscraft #Holiday #dollarstor

Good Night Pancho, Good Night,


Besitos,
