Supplies for 2010 Glasses:
We’re making small glasses for little eyes, so we’re cutting the pipe cleaner in half. (If you want to make glasses for adults, don’t cut the pipe cleaner, leave them long.) You’ll need 3 long pipe cleaners, then cut them all in half. And for the wire that is going to be the number 1, cut off an inch of it for twisting later.
For the rims that go over the ears, attach one of the halves of wire to the number 2 and the other wire half to the number 0. Bend the ends of the rims to fit over the ears.
Now these glasses are ready for a pair of eyes. Yay for 2010! Happy New Year!
Thanks, Make and Takes

After Christmas clearance is I think my favorite time to shop all year. I get gifts for the following year, decorations for my home and ornaments for my tree, paper products, and Christmas clothing for the kids all after Christmas to use for the following year. I bought a very special doll when my daughter was 6 months old at a after Christmas clearance and now at almost 3 years old she is old enough to really appreciate it and play with it. It was a very expensive doll I got it for $4. You can't beat that. I have saved it these last 2 Christmases because I knew this Christmas she would love it. I have a friend who buys all her paper towels for the whole year on after Christmas clearance. She gets Brawny or Viva (the name brand good quality paper towels) for normally around .30-.50 cents a roll. She does not mind they have a winter motif to them to her they are paper towels. Stock up on plastic Glad-ware/Ziploc storage containers (paired wit ha coupon can you say cheap), Saran Wraps, Ziploc bags all of it super cheap. Last Christmas I got a 2pk of Clorox Wipes for $1 who cares they were in a holiday canister. They were under my sink no one saw them but me.
If you are planning to have a New Year's Eve or New Years Day Party. Stock up on nuts, candy, cookies, etc. since it is all on clearance. Spice racks normally are clearanced out too. I always check out those boxed food gifts to see if there is anything I can disassemble to make up a gift for the New Year for someone. Like those hot chocolate, tea or coffee sets. You can always reuse a mug and add more to the gift. But check expiration dates you won't get to next Christmas but you may. Also those individual bagged snacks can come in handy if you plan to take a vacation or car ride. I hate unnecessary trash ( I try to be as GREEN as possible) but I have been known to buy individual wrapped items when we go on a long car ride. They also are good goody bag items for birthdays.
My hubby and I will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary in two weeks and every year I add more decor to our home and ornaments to our tree shopping after Christmas clearance. It is also a great time to buy an artificial tree. since they can be 75% off. We have had ours going on 8 years and it is time for a new one so I am on the hunt for one tomorrow.
In addition my parents and I buy each one of the kids an ornament so they can have their own collection when they start their home. My parents and Godparents did that for me while I was growing up and it is a great tradition I do with my kids. Some may think that is cheesy to buy it afterward but my kids really don't care and and I pay 50%-75% of what retail is so I think it is worth it anyway.
In January we celebrate our wedding anniversary, Hubby and our son's birthdays. Can you say parties and business for me? I try to coordinate the colors to the party to be either green or red (not together of course) so I can buy all the paper products, napkins, plastic ware during this time. I stick with solid red or solid green. I have been doing this for 5 years now and one of my son's favorite colors is red so he does not mind one bit that his party plates are normally red. It is also good to stock up on solid red for Valentine parties and green for any St. Patrick's Day activities you may do. These paper products come in handy for class parties if your child is in school too. Being that I have 2 birthdays to buy for I get toys on clearance and save them for my son's birthday, gifts when we are invited to birthday parties or save them for future birthdays for my kids. I am a stockpiler I buy pretty much all year as deals come up and save them for when I need them, like that doll I bought 3 years ago. I also stock up on the stocking stuffers either for little gifts for my kids or to put stuff in goody bags for birthday parties. I have used those little tubs of Play Do for some of the goody bags at my kids parties. I have picked up travel size Magna doodles for the kids to have in the car too. I am mindful of anything that looks to Christmasy though so if I can disassemble it and repackage it then I will.
This is a great time to stock up on end of season items and clothing since January is when all things winter get clearanced out to make room for Spring which you already see in stores already, Crazy! I really want to know who buys a bathing suit in December anyway, HA!!!
