RECYCLE Spring Storage Idea With Xyron

Hey there friends and NON CRAFTERS today!

 I am veering off my usual card and scrapbook posts

 today with a VERY EASY

storage idea for everyone doing that Spring cleaning!

And it literally took like 5 minutes out of my life. 

Which is perfect for me, because I barely have 2 seconds some days. 

I am a huge fan of recycling, as I was a Oregon native- so this

project is right up my alley. I saw people use TP rolls before 

for cord storage but they were so ugly, and being crafty and pink..

umm NO can't let that happen. So I dug out scraps of Teresa Collins 

paper and trimmed it to 4" (measure your rolls because each vary between 4 and 4 1/2")

 I trimmed the paper to 7" long because I wanted to get a really good 

adhesion- so it wouldn't roll back off- paper to paper.

Run paper through Xyron 5" Creative Station.

Make sure to use the permanent cartridge.

 Rub. Peel. Stick.

 Roll toilet paper onto sticky side. 

 That's it!

 If you are feeling like you want some glam you can totally add

a ribbon or bow too. Plus the bows make it easy to hang on a hook. 

Here it is with a perry bow on it :) 

And by the way, darned if I could find white extension cords, I

looked in every box and even tried the store! So green it is LOL

Ok off to my son's Autism appointment today- 

so much anxiety on these days! Have a great one friends

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to PIN THIS! :) 

Candy Sleds For The Holidays- Pinky Style

Good morning friends,

I though it would be fun to post a Christmas idea that

EVERYONE can do even if you are not a crafter!

I had seen a version of these candy sleds before and

thought I would make it my own and change it up a bit. 

When I was creating them my gf kept saying how fun

it was to use leftover wrapping paper and how easy it would 

be to do with children since there was no hot glue involved. 

Also no chocolate is melted!! BONUS! :) Everything remains edible. 

All you need it wrapping paper scraps, scissors, candy canes, 

candy- I suggest Kit Kat bars, little candy bars in varying sizes

and Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots you could also

use the Xyron® 5" Creative Station™if you wanted. *optional*

First wrap the Kit Kat bar using Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots

it's much easier than using tape for these small candy cards. 

Next place 4-5 Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots along 

the bottom of each side. 

Adhere to the candy canes. 

This creates the base of the sled while maintaining the integrity 

of the candy cames and keeping the candy bar from melting. 

Next wrap 3 mini bars together. 

Now you can do this with the Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots

OR the Xyron® 5" Creative Station™ by trimming the wrapping

paper to the right size. 

Running it through the Xyron® 5" Creative Station™ and 

creating a BIG sticker. 

Easy peasy to wrap that way. 

Use the Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots to place 

Santa's candy gifts into place. 

Repeat with 2 mini cards then one. 

Wrap twine or ribbon around- add a bow! 

That's it! Easy- safe to make even for kids. Great for that accent by

a gingerbread house too!

Anyone can make these just give it a go! :)
