This year Hubby and I are a little bit tight on money and nothing left for Christmas decorations so I decided to take paper, glue, glitter, and some crayons and make my own Christmas decorations. Today I did the tree and it is currently laying in the table drying but here are some pictures.
I was originally going to get colored construction paper, but when I went to start the car I found out I have a dead battery [:@][:@][:@] So I took some notebooks and used the lined paper inside. I colored the tree with a green crayon, and the decorations were colored using some colored fabric paint put on really thin so it would dry. Here we go!
The paper before being shaped into a tree its just taped together
Half way done cutting
That was a lot of coloring, lol my poor green crayon
Phew! Finished coloring!
The decorations, one for each member of the family
And the finished tree, complete with 'twinkling' lights
Well there it is for today, I'm trying to think of how to make more decorations, I might be able to make a basket of poinsettas but I'm not sure I'll have to think about it for a bit lol
I hope you enjoyed my crazy-ness for Christmas decorations
What about yours for this year?
