The Creative Corner! - Warm Fuzzies
5:02 pm
Hello BloggerBeans,
I thought that today I would add a new segment to my blog which I call 'The Creative Corner' and will be where I will be showing you some simple crafts you can do at home. As its coming up to Christmas I will be focusing on how to create simple homemade presents to give either to friends or family. I find that there is nothing like someone taking the time and effort to make me something handmade and shows that they are thoughtful and also creative.
The first craft that I want to share with you is something called 'Warm Fuzzies'. I found out about this when I was in primary school and moving up to secondary school. My teacher made the whole class doodle on a envelope which over the next couple of weeks would be where others would write kind messages (Warm Fuzzies) for us so when we felt anxious about going to our new school, we could read a lovely message which would cheer us up. I thought that this was such a cool idea that I adapted it into a gift and decided use a glass jar instead of envelopes as it looks prettier. This gift is ideal for anyone whether that's a friend or a family member for constantly reminding them that you are there for them.
The whole concept of a warm fuzzy is to make you feel better if you are upset or in a bad mood - hence the name 'warm Fuzzies'.
To create a jar full of these Warm Fuzzies you will need:
- Paper
- A small Glass jar (I got mine very cheap from T.K max and was only £1.49)
- Scissors
- Lots of Colourful pens!
A small jar can roughly hold between 40 - 50 Warm Fuzzies.
First off fold your A4 piece of paper in half 4 times, making sure to fold along the short sides. This will give you 16 note size pieces of paper. you will need to do this another two times.
You should have around 48 pieces of paper to write your 'Warm Fuzzies' on. When writing your messages make them as personal as possible. You could write an inspiring message like the one below, A funny inside joke that you have with that person, random little messages or even reassuring reminders like 'Never forget that I am a phone call away'.
After you have written each message pop it into your jar and watch it slowly fill up!
