Make Inexpensive Party Treat Bags using Target Holiday Clearance

by Christy on February 19, 2013 in Gifts,Ideas,Kids

I love shopping the Target holiday clearance, and some of the items I like to look for are items that would make some inexpensive party treat bags. I have put together a couple examples for you.

Here are all the items I picked up at 70% off. I do my best to find candy that doesn’t have a holiday theme to it, and these Tootsie Rolls were perfect, the only Valentine theme is on the outside bag, they are plain colored Tootsie rolls on the inside.

Here are the boys items:

  • Treat bags with Stickers (12) $1.20 ($ .10 each)
  • Sports Erasers (24) $ .90 ($ .04 each)
  • Sports Notepads (20) $ .90 ($ .05 each)
  • Rulers (4) $.45 ($ .11 each)
  • Tootsie Rolls $1.34 ($ .03 each)

I used the following items to put together the boys bags for only $ .53 each!

Here are the items for the girls party treat bags:

  • Nail Files (12) $ .90 ($ .08 each)
  • Fingernail Polish (4) $ .90 ($ .23 each
  • Flip Flop Key Chains (4) $ .45 ($ .11 each)
  • Tootsie Rolls $1.34 ($ .03 each)

These are the items that went into the girl’s treat bags for a total cost of $ .57.

Here are the final party items all packaged up!

DIY Disney Autograph Books using Clearance Pocket Photo Album

by Christy on October 25, 2012 in Crafts,DIY/Crafts,Kids

A couple of my kids love to get the characters autographs when we head to Disneyland, so we make our own autograph books.   It’s much cheaper to make our own, and we can personalize them any way we want.

I started with a pocket photo album that I bought on clearance for $1.00 (50% off).

I made a cover for the front with scrapbook paper I had on hand, and took out the “baby” themed cover and added my new “Disney” themed cover.

I downloaded the FREE Waltograph font for the “Disney Autographs” font.   You can decorate your cover more elaborate if you want, however I made my autograph books around midnight the day before we were leaving, so I chose to go the simple route.

I bring along the books, several white pieces of cardstock, some binder clips and Sharpie pens.

To make it easy for the characters to sign we clip one of the pieces of paper to the front with the binder clip.

The paper with the autograph gets slid into one of the photo holders and then we put the photo of them with the character on the opposite side.   It works really well for us!

There you have it, a super simple and fun way to make a Disney Autograph book!    Anybody heading on a Disney vacation anytime soon?

You’re a Real Fungi Father’s Day Treats

by Christy on June 12, 2012 in Crafts,DIY/Crafts,Food,Gifts,Holiday,Kids

My daughter saw these Father’s Day treats in the May issue of Family Fun Magazine and she knew she wanted to make some for her Dad for Father’s day.

First, you will want to pick up some Model Magic at Target, it sells for $5.99.   You might be able to find it cheaper at one of the craft stores if you use a coupon.

Next, you will need some clear plastic or glass jars.   We used some containers we already had around the house,  we just emptied out these sprinkles into Tupperware containers in order to use them for the project.

You will want to cover the lid of the container with the Model Magic.

Shape the Model Magic to look like the top of a mushroom.

For the dots on the top of the mushroom, just roll some of the white Model Magic into small balls and them push them onto the top of mushroom until they are flat circles.

Add Dad’s favorite treats and a tag that says “Dad, You’r a real fungi!”   They do recommend letting the Model Magic drying for a day or two before you add the lid to your container.

They turned out super cute!   These are great, because kids of any age can help make them.   Younger kids can roll the dots into balls or add the treats to the jars.     Let us know if you end of making some too!
