DIY Jewlery Presents

This year I wanted to make some homemade, DIY Christmas gifts for my family! In July I had injured my lower back really bad and couldn't even get from the couch to my bed without being in pain! So I started making jewelry again, which I hadn't in years!! I forgot how much fun it is to create something for yourself or someone you love! So for the Christmas gifts I'm making I already had all the beads, tools, and string I needed to make something special for my mom, my grandma, and my niece! I hope when they open it on Christmas they will know how much time, effort, and love I put into the jewelry! 😊💝


These beads are from Hobby Lobby and so is the bead organizer! -which is a MUST!!!


This Jewelry making kit is from Target and it's AMAZING!! It came with cute letter beads, pliers, jump rings, chains, and clasps! All for around $15/$20


Of course I had to be festive and make the Christmas jewelry presents next to our Christmas tree while watching all 3 of "The Santa Clause" movies ! 




Here is the personalized name necklaceI made for my mom. These can be very pricy on Etsy and she said that she had been wanting one! Can't wait to watch her open it!! 😍


I made this bracelet for my grandma with these beautiful blue glass beads and her initials! 


One for my mom too!


I made this neon green choker necklace with fun letter beads for my 5 year old niece in California. Unfortunately, they are not coming home for Christmas this year! But I am sending them a package with Christmas goodies and decided to put this in there for my niece!! 💖 The metal clamps and clasp was very hard to get on the string!! It took my FOREVER!! 
But it's worth the time for my sweet Sophia!


I am a sucker for nice boxes! I can never throw them away when I get new jewelry from the store! I'm so glad I saved them, because it was perfect to put the jewelry I made inside and wrap it up!!



Here is the handmade jewelry inside the gift boxes! 😍



My favorite piece was this necklace I made for my mom. Mainly because I know this was on her list and I got to create what she wanted!! Yay! 😘


Here is the wrapping paper kit I found at Target with everything I needed to wrap the jewelry boxes! For only $10.00!! 




I hope you're all enjoying this Christmas season making and buying gifts for your friends and family!! Let me know if you decided to make a homemade gift! Comment on here or message me on my Instagram! @_valerie_burton I would LOVE to connect with you!!!

Last Minute Gift Idea

Can you believe Christmas is only 6 days away?!?! I feel like Tyler and I just put up the tree! This is such a busy time of year for both my work and social life! But I love it! I am about done wrapping gifts for our family members. But it dawned on me that I left a few people out! Our neighbors, the mail man, my youth students, and a couple long distant cousins. So I had this simple and cheap Christmas gift idea! I used holiday to-go mugs and filled it with candy and packets of hot chocolate! I put a cute bow on top and gift tag and I was done! I think they turned out pretty great! Here are some pics! Let me know your last minute Christmas gift ideas! Or if you decided to give mine a try! Xo Xo ~ Valerie                                         Here are the mugs with bows and gift tags that I added!  What's Inside .... 3 packets of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate! ...

What's To Come

I'm really looking forward of what's to come after all of this Corona-Crazy comes to an end! Although I'm LOVING working from home! I'm excited to for our first church gathering and our first night back at high school youth group! I can't wait for all the smiles, hugs, and laughs that will be shared! I really believe and pray that people will appreciate each other and the little things in life more than we used to!  I'm also really looking forward to our gender reveal party Tyler and I are going to host at our house next month! And we FINALLY get to find out if Baby Burton is a boy or girl! I feel like it's a girl, Tyler is convinced it's a boy! lol I don't even care at this point! I just want to know!!!! So I've been keeping my focus on the great things to come, instead of the negatives... which has really helped me during this time of being alone. I've also realized I'm more of a homebody/ introvert than I thought! lol Of course soc...

Every year my husband Tyler and I crank up the Christmas music, decorate the house, and get a real Christmas tree! We love this time together and watching Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate by our fire place all month long!
