I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester. This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready. My first creations were these little paper/foam trees. I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it. They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note: You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project. Don't! I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all. Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture. You just punch circles out from the scrap paper. Then hot glue the circles to the foam tree in
He is adorable! Did you paint him or buy him like that? I want a DUKE one in blue and a LSU one in purple!! :)
ReplyDeleteBecky - We've had the gnome for a long time. Danny painted him at Color Me Mine over a year ago and named him "Jonnifer" since he gave the gnome red hair like me. To tease Danny, I taped the Y on Jonnifer's hat on Saturday to make our gnome a BYU fan, since Danny is a U fan.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Wish there was a Color Me Mine around here!!! Now I remember that post about Jonnifer from about a year ago!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for Jonnifer and Jannifer that the Y lost. Maybe next year!
ReplyDeleteMama Wood - Thank you for being sympathetic. Jonnifer and I will carry on. :)
