Angry Bird Pretzels – A Ziplock Creation

12805874_1167605786585290_2316094437636007284_nThis is a Ziploc goodie creation and they are really cool. Melt candy melts and dip the whole pretzel into the colored candy melts. You can buy pre-made eyes in the cake and backing isle. Add a red hot candy for the nose (or something similar). Make a ton – the kids will eat them faster then you could ever have thought you could make them.

Bedside Pockets

13051709_10154144566773234_1497203973246341073_nI think I need these for the side of every bed in the house. How convenient it would be to hold remotes, lotion, book, wrapped snacks etc. A child would love to keep all of those special little items in their grasp – especially ghost spray (a small spray bottle tht has a magical element that keeps monsters away). I still want one myself. Wish I knew how to make one.

Foot Print Trucks & Cars

These would make great gifts for the grandparents or extended families or decoration in a nursery. I really love the hand print and footprint creations so many come up with.
