Here’s a great Christmas idea for you this year…instead of making Christmas cookies make Jack Snack Soaps!
You remember Jack, he’s the crazy skeleton who tried to steal Christmas in Tim Burton’s unique (read: crafty!) and eventful movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Take a look at the picture and instructions and go get your craft on, you crafties!
