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

12 days of Christmas Crafts

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.

Hi Lovelies!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! My work holiday party was on Friday and it was SUCH a blast! Great food, great drinks, great people…and if I don’t say so myself, some pretty great decorations:) I am SO bummed that I didn’t take any pictures. I worked for 10 and a half hours getting that party together and once it was all started I completely forgot to take pictures! Maybe if I am lucky, the walla decor will still be up when I get in this morning and I can take some pictures of that at least! Haha!

My Mom and Dad came to town late Friday night and on Saturday we all went to Fredericksburg. It was super windy which made it chilly, but the town was so cute. There were hundreds of Christmas stores with all sorts of fun decorations and such. We walked around, shopped, got some hot cocoa, and got some pictures with the big Christmas tree:)

Saturday night we went to dinner at Willie G’s Steakhouse in downtown Austin and had a really great dinner. We walked around town a little bit after dinner, and then went home to watch Christmas Vacation! I’m really happy that we got to have our own little early Christmas with my parents…it was really nice:)

Until next time…
