Instagram post 2192971066383758956_245285057 Wood slices from Hobby Lobby are my favorite thing to craft with! And they make the cutest Christmas ornaments.⁣ ⁣ While we don't love the new Star Wars movies I still like to celebrate them with cool crafts. Because Star Wars is something my dad and I shared and no matter how bad a movie is it will always remind me of him. ⁣ ⁣ I love making crafts that are a constant reminder of someone I've loved and who is no longer with us. While a Star Wars ornament may be a little weird to some, it makes total sense to me. ⁣ ⁣ Though I still think he'd take R2 over BB8 any day. 😬⁣ ⁣ 👉🏻👉🏻 Head to my profile to check out how easy these ornaments are to make with stencil vinyl!

Lucky for me I went Christmas craft crazy last year and have lots of stuff to share! ⁣ ⁣ First up, this sweet sign my son helped me with last year!⁣ ⁣ My four year old is obsessed with the Little Blue Truck book series. If you haven't you are seriously missing out. They're all adorable.⁣ ⁣ Instead of doing a little red truck on this sign and having it be like everyone else's, I decided to do blue. Well, my son did. I let him pick. 😬⁣ ⁣ This was fun, easy, and I love putting it on display this time of year! ⁣ ⁣ 👉🏻👉🏻 Click the link in my profile for the full tutorial and to find out where I got the file from!
