"I love this Marbles and Copper Recycled Wind Chime. Buying them can be costly and with this How to they are easier to make. I love the step by step directions and pictures to make this wind chime, it looks easy enough to do and I can see them coming together nicely. I'm looking forward to making these. Thank you so much for sharing this free craft how to."

"They said this was a recycled materials craft, but recycling means to re-use something, this is actually a re-purposed craft because you are using new coffee filters for something other than their intended purpose."

"I tried to click on the link for this wonderful Christmas project but the link didn't work for me. Is it still there or has it been taken down? I would really love to try this, so could you please check the link and let me know if it is working now? Thanks!"

"I love the idea of this project, but I am a little concerned about using actual candy canes. I used to use the same candy canes every year on my tree (packing them up with my decorations in January) but after a few years, the candy started to get sticky and a few even melted and stuck to other decorations. Do you spray your candy canes with anything to keep that from happening? Or do you only use them for one or two Christmases?"

Compound Christmas Ornaments includes 57 projects that range from winter-inspired crafts to religious Christmas decorations. There are patterns for gingerbread men, penguins, and snowmen as well as angels and a Nativity scene. Compound cutting adds dimension to your creations, and even the results of beginners are sure to impress.

Dress up your dinner table with candlestick holders and holiday napkin rings. Every pattern is accompanied by a materials list, step-by-step instructions, and detailed photographs. Author Diana Thompson is a professional scroll saw artist who has written several books on the technique and contributes regularly to Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts magazine.
