12 Days Of Christmas Crafts Day 8: Scrabble Tile Ornaments

Hi Lovelies!

There is officially less than a week until Christmas and I get more and more excited as the days go on! You know what that means…I just get more and more crafty! Haha! I saw today’s craft on another blog through Pinterest the other day, and knew I just had to make it! It’s super easy and I already had all of the materials.

To begin you will need a glue gun, ribbon (I used left overs from the ribbon wreath I made), Scrabble tiles, and a lighter!

Once you have all of your supplies, pick out the words you want to make with the Scrabble letters!

Brush the lighter along the end of the ribbon to stop it from fraying. Then, one by one, hot glue the Scrabble letters on to the ribbon. Before you glue down the last letter, make a loop with the ribbon and hot glue it to itself.

Then place the first letter of the word on top of the looped ribbon.

There you have it, Scrabble Christmas ornaments! Easy, fast, fun, and definitely GREAT for the kiddos! Any questions? Ask them below!

Until next time…

12 Days Of Christmas Crafts Day 7: Curly Paper Christmas Tree

Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to day 6 of Christmas crafts! It has been SUPER busy this past week and I have been writing 2-3 posts every day, so I am sorry if this is the only post today…the fashion will be back ASAP, I promise:) Today’s craft is really cute though, so I’m sure you will like it anyway! Enjoy!

Start with a foam cone, a pencil, straight pins, and some little scraps of scrapbook paper. I cut mine into equal pieces, but I’m sure it would look really cool if they were all different too….hell, maybe even better!

Twirl each little piece of paper around a pencil so that it curls up. I recommend a mechanical pencil, as the regular pencil I used originally gave them a weird shape with all the ridges.

Now, attach those little curly pieces of paper to the foam with a straight pin. Continue around the base and move upwards. Be sure to cover up the pins with the next layer up.

There you have it! I think this may be my favorite of the paper Christmas trees I have shown….what do you think? Any questions? Ask them below!

Until next time…

12 Days Of Christmas Crafts Day 6: Paper Ornaments

Hi Lovelies!

Today’s Christmas craft is a paper ornament! I found these guys on Pinterest and thought they were absolutely ADORABLE! They make great party decor, or you can actually hang them on your Christmas tree!

To start get a 12×12 piece of card stock. Cut the card stock into 5 even strips, then line them up and staple the ends together.

Take a hole punch and directly below the staple make one hole. Now, take the middle 3 layers of paper and cut them about an inch or two down, depending on how wide you want your ornament to be, keeping in mind that the more you cut off the wider it will be. Then take the middle piece and cut it down an inch or two further.

Take the five ends and join them together, staple in place. Once your ornament is done you will string a piece of ribbon or rope through the hole you punched at the top. You can alternate colors or patterned papers as well if you want to get fancy!

Aren’t they just the sweetest?! Any questions about how to put them together? Let me know below!

Until next time….

12 Days Of Christmas Crafts Day 5: Paper Loop Christmas Tree

Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to day 5 of Christmas crafts! This tree was another centerpiece at the holiday party on Friday. Isn’t it the cutest ever? You start with a styrofoam cone, 12×12 scrapbook paper, straight pins, and ribbon.

Cut the 12×12 paper into 6 inch strips, you will fold each one in half and pin through both sides into the foam. Each layer should overlap the previous layer a little bit so that you can’t see the pins.

Isn’t the end result just adorable?!?

Any questions about how to make this tree? Ask them below!

Until next time…

12 Days Of Christmas Crafts Day 2: Cupcake Liner Christmas Tree

Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 days of Christmas crafts! Today I am going to show you how to make a cupcake liner Christmas tree! To begin you will need a foam cone, cupcake liners, scissors, straight pins, and some ribbon as shown below:

To begin you will need to cut the bottoms off of the cupcake liners as shown:

Next, take the bottomless cupcake liners and stretch them around the base of the foam cone. Pin them into place. You will need more than one liner per layer at the bottom of the tree, and progressively less as you move upwards.

You can alternate patterns as you go up, or use the same design the entire way! Evenly space the liners so that the patterns on each layer show, but the pins do not.

Before you make it to the very top, you will want to take an uncut cupcake liner and cover the point. Pin it into place. Then cover those pins with the last liner layer. I then tied a ribbon and pinned it in to place on the very top. You could also glue a paper star to a toothpick and stick this into the top!

There you have it, a cupcake liner Christmas tree!
