DIY Christmas Tree

 

I was at Hobby Lobby few days back and saw similar-looking Christmas trees and thought why not make these instead of buying  And that's exactly what I did and that too at a fraction of the price it was being sold at 😉. It came together pretty easily too, that I made a bunch of them 😃

Wreath/ Garland makeover

Ok, so I have had this garland for few years and it had worked well in the past since I guess I used to just wrap it around the stair railings and I didn't need a dense looking garland for that anyways. But with each passing year it seemed like the garland was loosing weight.
This year however, I wanted to hang the garland in a different way and it looked just blah.. it wasn't as dense I would have wanted it to be. So started adding Christmas ornaments and just see the difference, it already is looking more fuller.

Paper Cutout Christmas Tree

I have not been able to do paper cutting for some time. But when I came across this beautiful paper cut Christmas tree, I had to make my own Paper cut tree too. Its just perfect for this season.

My kids go to to the Boys and Girls club after school. They love it there and sometimes they get to do some really cool craft work there. Sometime back, one of my kids brought home some really neat paper Pine trees that they made at bgc. I loved it. It not only looked great, but more so because how easy it was to make.

And here it is, yet another paper Christmas tree...:)
I love working with paper and this being the season for Christmas trees, I made a bunch of different types of paper trees this time of the year. Hope you will like this tree as much as I liked making it..:)

Paper Christmas/Pine Tree

When I was making these paper trees, I was picturing the beautiful snow covered pine trees.. We don't get snow where we live, but every winter we drive to the mountains which is just an hour away to play in the snow. Even though we don't have snow around where we live, I am trying to bring a little bit of white Christmas in our home, by decorating with these white paper Christmas trees..:)

Paper Christmas Tree

Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas. Well, the stores already have Christmas stuff out, so maybe not.

Last weekend, I was cleaning up the piles and piles of magazines that we have collected and thought it was time to get rid of old ones. But instead of just throwing or giving it away, I wanted to see if I can do or make somethings with it. So, one of the things that I made from it, was these folded Christmas tree.

It also reminded me of another paper Christmas tree that I made last year with old magazines and it happens to be one of my popular posts too..:) . Check it out here, to see how I made this one
