Christmas Ornaments and Saving Money

Christmas is coming soon and this year I wanted to try and make our ornaments. So with my friends "youtube" and "google search", I came across Alyxmazy's YouTube page. Her ornaments are beautiful and I just had to try and make some!
So I went to Michael's and Hobby Lobby today all set to buy everything needed. As you all know starting a new craft is expensive. Buying everything you need to start can break the bank and what happens if you don't like the project? You've wasted all that money. I don't know about you guys but I gotta pinch those pennies!
Well at Hobby Lobby I found a kit that was the same as what I was wanting to do. To make things even better it was half off!  GREAT! I can buy one and try it to see if I like making them before I spend my craft budget for the week! Instead of spending over $20 to buy everything, I only paid a bit over $3 to make one and to test the waters.
I'm hooked now! I had so much fun making my new ornament and it was oddly relaxing. I will definitely invest into making more!
TIP FOR THE DAY: If you are wanting to start a new craft, shop around and see if you can find a kit cheap to try first. In the end you should save a whole lot of moolah!
