Painted Christmas Ornaments
This post contains affiliate links, please see the disclosure policy for more details. Every year our church makes personalized Christmas ornaments for all the kids.

Valentine Bookmarks
A couple of years ago, when my daughter was in 4th grade, we made these personalized bookmarks for her class. They are not hard, but it did take quite a bit of time to make so many. We attached them to small goody bags through the hole for the ribbon using the twisty tie for the bag. I found some packages of printed Valentine card stock at the store. It got me thinking about what we could do with it. I came up with the bookmarks because her class was really into reading and they would be something they could use after the holiday was over. I bought the…
