Thank you notes are so important. I had to write them when I was younger and Boo has to do the same. Here are some cute Christmas themed ones that you can just print onto card stock…..it’s easy for your kiddos to just fill in the blanks. They fit into regular sized stationary envelopes! Enjoy!
I made this Santa Nesting doll (aka Matryoshka doll) image last Christmas for a free download through Facebook and completely forgot about it until I was cleaning up some files on my computer tonight. Click below to download this image to make a few last minute gifts, holiday outfits or thank you notes! I used it last year for a few t-shirts by printing it out on iron-on transfer paper. You can find tutorials on transfer paper here.
I’ve been obsessed with Matryoshka dolls for my whole life. According to Wikipedia the first nesting doll was made in 1880. Sometimes they are called babushka dolls too. I love the word babushka…but I never knew it meant grandmother until today.
Looking for more Christmas crafts? Make sure to check out this Nativity printable available on Etsy now for $1.00. Print it out onto card stock and gift in a mason jar with the little peg dolls:
A circus themed party banner! So cute as a cake topper! Just print off this circus-themed mini bunting and add it to the top of any cake or across cupcakes.
To make the bunting, first download the PDF template from the bottom of this post. Next, cut out each of the little bunting flags and fold them in half:
You’ll need some string and two straws or sticks to tie the bunting to. Red and white baker’s twine is perfect and festive. The adorable turquoise and white straws that were used for the circus party were purchased from In the Clear on Etsy.
Cut a length of string and fold each flag across like shown:
Use a bit of double sided tape or glue to close:
You can space the bunting as you go:
Tie each side of the string to the straw:
The finished mini bunting!
We forgot to get a photo of it on the actual birthday cake….but it still looks so cute on my half eaten pound cake!
