I haven’t been able to post this until now because I had to make sure Brianne had opened the gift. For her birthday this year I sent Brianne a ton of random gifts, 30 to be exact. Some were super silly (glow bracelet), really amazing (mini pinata with candy) and then some were things like this above that I painted. I love how it turned out and I am pretty sure she thinks it is pretty awesome too! She’s used to my homemade gifts that I make her by now 
Christmas is right around the corner and it is time to start thinking about gifts. (I need to get on that!!). I hand stamp sterling silver jewelry and am wanting to get started early. If you (or anyone you know) is looking for a unique, personalized gift for Christmas keep hand stamped jewelry in mind. The options are only limited by your imagination.

So I saw an article in Better Homes & Garden about making ring bowls using Sculpey Clay and wanted to try it. It is the perfect gift to have a child make for mother’s day. Now, my mom will be getting one because I made it for her (hopefully she will find it sweet!), but if you are looking for something simple for your mom or grandmother, this is easy!
Supplies Needed:
Polymer Clay (I used Sculpey but you can use Fimo as well)
Stamps
I doubt this even needs lots of introduction but I did use almost an entire square of the clay. I rolled it into a ball and then flattened it. I then stamped ‘i love you mom’ on it just using regular ink stamps. I then used a decorative stamp for the surrounding area. The place it in the over for 30 minutes @ 265 degrees. A great craft to have the kids do for Mom!
So I had Handstamped these guitar picks as a Christmas present. Now, you can’t actually use them as they are too thick and the silver would hit the strings and create sounds you don’t want, but I thought they were a unique gift. I finally was able to make them into a keychain, which is a unique gift for any guitar player.
