life according to three j. sisters - weddings, parties, lifestyle.
On the 3rd day of Christmas, j. sorelle gave to you…a DIY teacher gift and free printable.
We decided that we couldn’t go wrong with a chalkboard for a holiday teacher gift this year. And with handwritten notes from kids on a free printable, it’s priceless. We love the DIY Teacher Gift we shared with Momtastic. It’s a gift from the heart that really makes the grade – an A+ grade – so it’s worth checking out.

Shake it off, Shake it off. Ok, Jessica has a minor obsession with Taylor Swift’s new song, and it’s a great motto for Day 2 of our 12 Days of Christmas.
On the second day of Christmas j. sorelle gave to you…DIY heart-shaped salt and pepper shakers.
These DIY salt and pepper shakers make an easy, affordable and adorable hostess gift or Christmas gift. You can start and complete the project in less than an hour.
You’ll Need:
Mini jam jars – You can find small jam or honey jars at your local grocery store or you can find some from the English Tea Store
Push pin like these
Clear Scotch tape
Sharpie pen
Salt & pepper
How To:
Step 1: Clean out the jars.
Step 2: Place a piece of clear tape over the lid of the jam jar and with a Sharpie, add dots in the shape you want. We chose to do a heart to go with the theme of ‘season everything with love.’
Step 3: Poke holes through the lid on your dotted design.
Step 4: Once you poked through every dot, remove the piece of tape to see your design.
Step 5: Add salt & pepper to the shakers, package with twine or a bow and give, give, give. To make it really cute, attach a ‘season everything with love’ note to the twine.
Season everything with love this Christmas!

Without further adieu…
On the first day of Christmas, j. sorelle gave to you…DIY Christmas art.
We’re dreamy for deer this time of year, and we love the nostalgic, fuzzy feelings we feel when we see a photo of a freshly cut Christmas tree strapped to the top of a red car. Now, we can display our favorite holiday images in our homes with our own Christmas Art. We call our art Deer Date, Merry Merry and Oh Joy
You’ll Need:
How To:
Step 1: Design and cut the art using your Silhouette Studio software and Portrait or CAMEO cutting machine. They have so many beautiful and fun artwork options you can purchase for .99 each. If you don’t have a Silhouette and want one for Christmas, check this out. And, if you don’t have access to a Silhouette, you can trace and use cut outs and pre-cut art.
Step 2: Use a paintbrush to paint Modge Podge on the back of each cut out and place on your blank canvas.
Step 3: Once all art is in place, find a place with really good ventilation and spray sealant on your art.
Step 4: Display.

Well, there’s nothing like a little TLC and vitamin C to lift ones spirits…thus Feel Better in a Box was born.
