No Sew Ruffled Tree Skirt

I know you have probably seen the adorable ruffle tree skirt going around on Pinterest!?! It was love at first site when I saw the pin! I knew that my Christmas tree wouldn't be complete without one! :) So, I went out and bought everything I needed, invited a few friends over, and thought that I would have this baby done in 2 hours. Boy was I wrong! It took a long time. So keep in mind if you make this, you will need at least 4-5 hours.
You can click here to find the tutorial I used. I did everything that she did except use canvas for the base. I used a felt tree skirt that I found at Walmart for $5.I love the way this turned out! Worth every minute!

Christmas Card Holder

This idea came from a few different pictures I found from google search. I love the way it turned out! I just took an old frame from D.I., primed and painted it. Once it was dry I used twine, and on the back of the frame I made the shape of a Christmas tree. You could also make them straight lines or diagonal. I have seen both ways done and they are both super cute. At first I tried using a glue gun, but it just didn't hold as tight as I wanted it to, so then I pulled out my staple gun. The staple gun worked great! Spray paint a couple clothes pins and add a bow and you've got yourself a dang cute card holder!

Christmas Wreath

I know it's not Christmas yet. In Relief Society I signed up to do a Christmas craft for the Super Saturday coming up, so I thought I would share with all of you. It needed to be something cheap and easy, which was exactly what this was! This cost me $4.00 to make. $2.00 for a yard of burlap and $2.00 for ribbon. Here's how I did it, in pictures :) It is too late to explain step by step! ... (P.S. I can't take credit for this idea. I have seen this type of wreath all over Pinterest and I just had to make one!)

I hot glued it in a couple spots around the wreath so the burlap would hold it's place.You can leave the bow hanging or tuck it in a little bit. Not sure yet which way I like better. Maybe I will just make another ;)
