December is nearly here and the internet has been taken over by Christmas crafts. Trees are going up, wreaths are being made, baking is being done… and here I sit all bah humbug-y with nothing Christmas in the works. So I’m going to cheat and repost the only Christmas craft I managed to eek out last year. My blog was still super small then so I’m pretty sure this will be new material for at least 90% of you. I probably could have even tricked y’all into thinking this was new material if my kids weren’t so young in all the pictures. Anyway, enjoy…again :)

I’ve been loving all the cute little Christmas trees that are all over blogland this year, so I had to make some of my own. Most of the tutorials you find involve sewing (like at Tatertots & Jello and Shanty 2 Chic), but for whatever reason I’ve been feeling very anti sewing lately. Also, I don’t have ruffler foot for my machine, so I would have to sew by hand….blah. I was however feeling very pro glue gun, so here is my hot glue ruffle tree forest!
I love them! I want to make like twenty more for all the other tables and shelves that are feeling unchristmasy. But perhaps that would be overkill…
These are so pretty and what sweet babies!
I remember these. AND that awesome photo.
Well, it might be an old story but at least I now have an idea of what to use the silver cord/rope for, that I found in the bottom of my ribbon stash, when I was making the bows for my tomato cage Christmas trees. :)
Tomato cage Christmas trees? I’ve never seen those, but it sounds like they would make great front porch Christmas decor. Oh wait, I see your link….
those are so cute! that might be my next project, i have been looking for something to make for xmas!! i love the red one and the rope one!! great job!! :)
Those trees are so cute…and so are your youngun’s. Ü
very impressed
OK. So now I’m starting to get in the mood for Christmas… Those trees are soooo fun!
OH MY GOSH THE PICTURE. Hahaha I love it!
I mean – cute trees. Very cute, but seriously…that picture!
Lol, I know! I had forgotten about it until I went to repost this and got caught up in his adorable mischievousness all over again :)
I loved those trees the first time I saw them, and I really hope I have time to make them this Christmas! I love the variety and the wood element.
I just LOVE these. You crack me up but make me feel normal for not being all Christmassy. ;) I’m eyeballing my ribbon stash….think a red, white & black puppy paw print tree would be weird??? {Say no…say no…]
HA! Love. it. Those are awesome. I’m going to go read the epic baby picture post because I was really wondering what that frame was. I was thinking maybe paint stir sticks, but I just saw that the tab up top said blinds. lol. :)
I think those so cute. I love no sew crafts
