 This week  we are featuring a craft project that kids can make to give their grandparents for GRANDPARENTS’ DAY, to show their love for these special parents! You can create a personalized candle .

You will need the following  supplies:

a candle

wax paper

tracing paper

 tissue paper

markers 

hair dryer

STEP ONE

Find an  image you want  and print it off on tissue paper. Then trim your image leaving as little border as possible and place it ink side out  on your candle.

 STEP TWO

Wrap a piece of wax paper tightly around your candle, holding both ends in one hand on the back side.

STEP THREE

For this step you can use  an embossing gun, hairdryer or even your iron.

Heat until you see the wax paper start to melt and you see the ink come through the paper. This can take about 1-2 minutes.

STEP FOUR

Next, give the candle about 10 seconds for the candle to cool a little.After that peel off the wax paper slowly. You have your pesonalized candle!

STEP FIVE

To add an extra little touch you can add a ribbon, glitter or anything else you wanted. Enjoy!

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT : A TERRARIUM

                     

This year we're going to make a terrarium.It would be a  perfect 

Mother's Day  Gift. A terrarium is incredibly  easy to make and you'll be 

amazed at how little time terrariums take.

For this project  you will need the following:

• a glass container 

• rocks and stones as filler

• rocks and stones as decoration

• potting soil

• plants (succulents or cacti)

HOW TO MAKE A TERRARIUM

Start pouring in a layer of rocks along the bottom for drainage,about an inch deep.

Next, add a layer of soil.

Then, plant your succulent  or cacti.   

Add, a little more dirt around the plants.

Finally, you can decorate the terrarium with little stones or coloured sand.

If you want to personalize your terrarium you can add a sweet tag and a ribbon. 

CHRISTMAS DRINK

Homemade   Eggnog

One of the most   British holiday treats is eggnog. This rich and creamy drink was especially designed for cold Christmas nights. This year we   would   like to prepare   a special recipe. Traditionally eggnog is spiked with brandy or rum, but we   wanted to give it   our personal touch so we used   milk instead of alcohol.

This recipe is a revelation in deliciousness and only need seven ingredients. 

Ingredients:

12 medium egg yolk

11/2 cups (one and a half cups) or 320 g white granulated sugar

4 cups of milk

2 cups or 500 ml heavy cream

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp cinnamon

Equipment Needed

blender

large bowl

whisk

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the egg yolks and white sugar into the bowl.Whisk for about 2 minutes or until the mix thickens up.

               Pour the yolk-sugar mix into a large bowl,whisk in milk and cream.

Continue mixing.Instead of whisking by hand,you can use an electric mixer.

For a little extra flavor add nutmeg and vanilla.Then mix until well incorporated.

Next,gently fold the cream into the eggnog.

Chill until ready to serve.Sprinkle ground cinnamon over each cup before

serving.

  You can also give it  away as gifts to friends and family to share in the merriment.

DIY CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Jar Candle Holder 

This project is easy,fast and inexpensive as you can use material available at hand.

This DIY is perfect to recycle an old jar and make something elegant and beautiful. 

Supplies:

• a jar 
• a bow
• glitter
• scissors
• a candle 
• paint

To make the jar to look more interesting you can paint the jar with golden paint. 

You can cut out a heart out of tape or something that sticks to the jar and paint everything but that area.

Then peel off the heart and you'll get a lovely design.

A splendid  idea is adding a touch of glitter to the jar. The look of glowing light though the jar is cute.

If you like you can tie a bow.

And that's it!
