Christmas Tree Ornament Mobile

Pin It

How cool is this???  There is a tutorial on Not Martha.  Check it out! It's a bit late for me to make it this year, but maybe I'll make one next year :)

Peppermints on a stick

Pin It I saw some little styrofoam peppermints at Robert's Craft the other day and thought I could definitely make some of my own.  They were cheap and super easy and make a fun little Christmas decoration.

Here's what you need:

Styrofoam Circles - 2/$1.00 at the Dollar Tree

Wooden Dowels - Pack of 10 is $1.50 at Robert's Craft

Colored foam or paper - on hand

Hot glue fun - on hand

Gold fabric - on hand

Here's what I did:

I took the wooden dowels and pushed them through the center of my styrofoam circles.  Be careful, it's easy to make a hole with the dowel - if it's a small enough one you might be able to cover it with your foam.  You only need the dowel in an inch or two.

 Then make a stencil with the shape you are wanting to use.  Cut out your foam and hot glue them in place.

 I then used my fourth styrofoam circle as my base.  I covered it with some gold fabric and wallah!

 I put a little basket with candy next to it.

Sweater Trees

Pin It I found a cute idea for a homemade Christmas decoration on Crafts and Sutch where you use an old sweater to cover a cone to make little trees.

These are her trees

These are the ones I made:
