I have a burning question on this chilly November morning: What’s with all the hacks?
Life hacks. Food hacks. Furniture hacks. Parenting hacks. Have we become the hack generation? And should we brace ourselves for some Christmas hacks? And if so, what would — or could — they be?
Would leaving your lights up year-round be a Christmas lights hack? If so, some of my neighbors are already on top of this one. 🙂
And then there’s my mom whose been “hacking” wrapping for three decades with gift bags and tissue paper.
I may need to work up my very own Christmas craft hack …
And while I work on that, I thought I’d share a round-up of my Christmas craft ideas from Christmas past …
Red & White Ribbon Wrapped Balls

My favorite Christmas hack ever has to be the vintage car snow globe! It was the one item I was able to recreate with ease and is now my favorite ornament! I have another Christmas hack I started last year, actually after Christmas, that I hope to finish before this Christmas!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents!

I remember these! I made the sweater ball and the glitter monogram last year with you! I am going to try the car in the jar but on a larger scale. I have a clear lamp base I am going to try it in. Have a wonderful weekend!

That car is a jar is perhaps the cutest all time. And I actually bought the clear ornaments to make those melted snowmen, maybe the year I moved to Detroit. It seems I never get much done when it comes to making new ornaments or crafts in December. I need a hack that kicks me in the ass.

OH my heavens Linda after seeing all these I won’t be able to sleep all month making all these incredible ornaments. Think I pinned nearly all of them. so much to do.
went to Michaels tonight after we had supper at Burger King, had 50% off coupon burning hole in my pocket. Ended up using it for the glue sticks for low temp glue gun. Have gobs of paper ornaments to glue and not going to burn my fingers off. . Might have had low temp gun but didn’t want to waste time finding it if i even have it. Of course while there had to load up on fancy papers on sale for 10 for $10, sure hope I have time to make all am thinking I want to. Nov is whizzing by much too quickly already. What a great selection you found for us. Now help me decide which ones I should do would you please? Have been working on several things today. Not wanting to waste any time.
Do know one thing, I’d better stay to heck out of Michaels. or I’ll have to donate a leg or something to pay for it all. lol
Hope you’re having wonderful awesome weekend

Well there is always hack up a lung! I guess I’d rather hack an ornament.
