Can I tell you how much I love after Christmas shopping?! On purpose, I didn't get any clothes for Danny or myself for Christmas, except for a classy tie for Danny, because I wanted to wait for all the deals. Luckily, I'm married to a man who encourages my buying something cute to wear here and there, since I'm known as the saver in the family I don't do so very often. I found some awesome deals (50% off clearance prices) and got a few new skirts and sweaters. My favorite purchase was flannel shirts for both Danny and myself which we just so happened to wear on the same day, because we are cool like that. Love!
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
Y'all are the cutest couple!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI knew that if I waited long enough, plaid flannels would come back into style. I have quite a collection. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa, good thinking!
DeleteCute couple! Yay for plaid flannel shirts! I just wish it was cold enough to wear them more than once or twice here.
ReplyDeleteWe would be more than happy to give you some of our cold. :)
