This
year we're pretty much starting over as far as Christmas decor goes.
Basically, our Christmas stuff is stored in Idaho, we can't go get it in
time, so we decided to heck with it & well, started over.
On Black Friday we bought a new tree, (which I actually like way better than the old one) and since then I've been crafting up a storm! So this is a close up of my Christmas tree in its current state of
merriment.
Crocheting the snow flakes and stars was so fun, but the best part is that gratifying sensation you get when you stand back & survey your work. SO much better than buying ornaments :)
See the fluffy/fuzzy looking white tulle garland? I MADE IT too!
Skills.
Hahaha....hello?
In fact the only thing I didn't
make on this tree was the ribbon. (and the beads) I bought that at... Target I think.
Just a heads up, 25 feet of ribbon will wind fairly well around a 6 foot
tree, but if you're like me and you don't like to be bothered with
making due or running out, buy more even though hubby laughs and tells
you 100 feet of ribbon is too much... He just doesn't get it.
I have plans and supplies for even more lovely craftiness to grace my tree, but this is it as of now. I'm in love! I'm thinking about maybe posting some tutorials so others can join me in my craftiness. That might be fun!
Seriously Jamie... you need to stop crafting up the place with your awesomeness... it just reminds of how sucky I am! Your tree is pretty epic! way to go!
