Creative Ways to Ask a Boy to Sadie Hawkins

When it comes time for a girl to ask a boy to Sadie Hawkins it can be hard to find a creative way to ask them. After all boys aren't excited by flowers or balloons as a girl wold be, and throwing him a ball or giving him a cookie cake with Sadie's written on it just isn't very creative. 

One simple but still original way to ask is with chalk. 

Needed:

• Sidewalk chalk (1-5 dollars at Walmart or Dollar Store)
• Drive-way or parking spot to write it in

Everyone played with chalk as a child and this is the same general idea. Just write it out in the boy you would like to ask's parking spot or drive way. Just make sure to put your name underneath so they know who is asking. 

Another cute and more personal way to ask the boy you admire or are dating to Sadie's is with a candy note. Plus all guys like candy so its a good bribe. ;)

Needed:

• Poster Board 
• Hot Glue/Glue Gun
• Candy Bars 
• Markers
• Nice Handwriting or Stencils

The note above is for a boy I was already dating, and it is more personal but can be adjusted for any situation. 

All you have to do is plan out your note and hot glue the candy bar in place of certain words. 

If your hand writing is not very neat you can buy stencils and use them instead. 

I also suggest that on certain candies such as Snickers or Life Savors you mark out or cover up the S's

Good luck with you Sadie's dates. You can comment with any questions or suggestions for other projects!

DIY Monogram Christmas Ornament

My inspiration for this ornament was a picture I found on Pinterest of a monogrammed ornament but it was kinda plain and I though I could do better so this is my rendition. I used these as my teachers gifts and for my boy friends family they would also be good for friends or moms the craft a great inexpensive gift for Christmas. 

Whats need for the project:

• Thick Ribbon (I suggest 1in width or bigger ribbon because it will make big pretty bows)
• Thin Ribbon (1/2in or smaller usually around $1.00 for a spool)
• Clear Christmas Ornaments 
• Craft Glitter
• Scrap Booking Letters(I like cursive ones for a fancier monogram but you can use a font of your choice)

All these items can be purchased at a craft store such as Hobby Lobby or Jo-Ann's or even Walmart. Don't forget about Hobby Lobby's 40% off coupon for the more expensive items like the ornaments. 

 Step 1:

• Remove the top of the ornament and use a funnel to pour your craft glitter into the top of the ornament. 
• Before putting the top back on fill the small hole in the top of the ornament with hot glue so that the glitter doesn't fall out when your ornament gets turned upside down. 
• Then stick your monogram stickers onto the outside of your ornament, I used uppercase letters for the center of the monogram and lower case fort the two side letters but you could also get to different size sticker sets. 

Step 2:

• Hand stitch or hot glue or tie the ends of the smaller ribbon together around the loop on top of the ornament. (I hand stitched)  

Step 3:

• Make bows out of the larger ribbon to the size you would like.

• Then use hot glue to put your bow on the front of the ornament.
