Handmade Christmas Gifts When You Don’t Have Time

December 8, 2014 By Angi Schneider 4 Comments

SchneiderPeeps-Giving Handmade when you don't have time. There is no need to feel guilty about not having time (or talent) to make all - or even some- of your gifts. These wonderful small shops have you covered.

While I love to make Christmas gifts for friends and family I usually have too many ideas for the time I have. So, instead of getting all stressed out about not making everything I wanted to, I just purchase handmade items. This way I can feel good about giving handmade but not have to be stressed […]

Simple Christmas Stockings {Handmade Christmas 2014}

November 24, 2014 By Angi Schneider 4 Comments

SchneiderPeeps - How To Make Simple Christmas Stockings

For several years I’ve wanted to have new Christmas stockings for our family. The stockings we have are totally fine, but they are a mix and match and are more mix than match, plus I’ve never really LOVED them. But y’all, stockings are expensive, multiplied by 8 (and now 10) and we just cannot do it. So, I think […]

How to Make Borax Snowflakes and other Crystal Ornaments

November 10, 2014 By Angi Schneider 14 Comments

SchneiderPeeps - DIY Borax Crystal Ornaments are a really fun and frugal craft. Kids love to see how the pipe cleaners are transformed into beautiful crystals. And it's a great science experiment.

   We were first introduced to pipe cleaners and borax crystal ornaments when my older children were in elementary school. We made borax snowflakes for a science experiment and had so much fun. In fact, they made so many snowflakes and other crystal ornaments that they sold them for .25 each at a craft fair […]

SchneiderPeeps - Fabric Gift Bag Tutorial

A  few years ago I started making fabric gift bags to use for Christmas. I love making these bags, they are so simple and just take a few minutes to whip up. We mainly use these within our family so we can use them year after year, but I also make some each year to […]

Thumb Print Pumpkin Patch T-Shirt

August 26, 2014 By Angi Schneider 3 Comments

Thumb print pumpkin patch t-shirts are a super fun and easy way to get into the fall spirit. We literally did this while cooking dinner.

I know it’s a little early to be sharing pumpkin crafts but it was 105 degrees here today and thinking of fall is one of my survival techniques. Plus this thumb print pumpkin patch t-shirt is such a fun and easy craft I just couldn’t wait for a more “appropiate” time to share it. Esther […]

DIY Finger Twister game

If you’ve been a reader of SchneiderPeeps for very long you probably know that we like to make things and we also like to play games. Josiah combined both of those likes into one gift for Christmas last year. He made each family a game of Finger Twister. Never heard of Finger Twister? I hadn’t […]

Make a tire swing for some frugal family fun

make a tire swing

We had to get new tires for our 12 passenger van. Normally, I’m not real excited about that but I’ve been hoping we’d need to soon so we could make a tire swing. We had one of these in another house and it was much loved – by kids of all ages. Wanna see how […]

Make your own bug magnets

February 10, 2014 By Angi Schneider 5 Comments

Bug Magnets

One of the fun things about having older children and a younger child is that I’m getting to revisit all those fun preschool crafts that I did with my older ones. For Christmas my children make their gifts to give to extended family and this year Esther made bug magnets. To make the bug magnets you just […]

Valentines cards and crayons

valentine heart rainbow crayons and cards

We celebrate Valentine’s Day at our homeschool co-op each year. It’s really fun since the teenagers participate, too. The younger children look up to them and love including them in the celebration. The teens usually don’t do  cards, they  just start dropping candy in everyone’s bag – you know because that is the important part. […]

Make Your Own Cribbage Board

January 29, 2014 By Angi Schneider 13 Comments

Such a simple and meaningful gift. Handmade cribbage boards will quickly become a family heirloom. Game instructions are included.

Every year for Christmas we encourage our children to make gifts for their gift giving needs. It’s really fun to see what each one comes up with. This year Gabriel made cribbage boards for each family in our extended family – and us, of course. I’m going to share how he made the boards in […]
