The girls and I went to Michael's yesterday. We had a coupon. We went crazy.
Okay, no, I saw crazy there and we were not it. They need to make bigger carts for the crazies. But I got what I needed and zipped out quick. (It's very clear I have a huge aversion to big, busy places...note: Costco).
In the last couple of days I pounded out some serious decor...
I should have used bigger paper cut outs. This took me a long time. But was not hard. It gets a 4/5 for being a good and easy craft!
Red burlap Christmas tree. This wasn't really a craft. I cut my burlap into strips and wound it around the tree. Easy factor..5/5.
I couldn't find mini trees yesterday (but my sister did at the Dollar Store so I'll also make some of those in snow globes) so we improvised for today with ornaments. Easy factor? 5/5. Super fast, and you can use any jars you have, not just mason jars. Just watch out, that fake snow is messy business!
Chinese lantern wreath. No link, sorry, just thought of it myself. I bought a flat, cardboard ring and hot glued all the lanterns on. I could use a few more lanterns to make it more full and completely cover the ring...but I ran out. Easy factor- 4/5. Bird ornament was our own.
Okay people! Get inspired to DIY if you are caught up on all your Downton Abbey and have nothing else to do!
(Someone awesome burns the episodes for us and we just finished Season 3. WHOA.)
I want the wreath made of lanterns! love!
