Rose Petal Christmas Tree

How about a white rose petal tree to go with the rest of your white themed Christmas decor?? This one was SO SIMPLE to do and very cheap. You just need to make a trip to the Dollar Store and get:

Stryofoam cone

Rose Petals (in the wedding section) 

White Pom Pom

Hot Glue

~Take your styrofoam and start putting dots of hot glue around the base of it. Place a pointed part of the petal on each dot. 

~Go around and around with the dots and the petals until you get to the top. 

~Hot glue a white pom pom to the top. 

Wicked easy, huh??

I like the result. 

My tells me he husband likes this tree because it looks like a pile of scalloped potatoes.
Thanks, dude.

Origami Christmas Wreath

I am a real fan of folded paper decorations right now. Remember my Peace Doves??

You've got to try this craft. Here's a video I found on you tube. Bear in mind, this lady totally calls me boring in the beginning of the video (@45 seconds). And, I am still supporting her. Aren't I nice?!?!Yup, I'm nice. 

Not too bad, eh?? I still have a hard believing she made 100 of these in 4 hours. Maybe I'm just a perfectionist, but it took me a lot longer 2:40 to make each one (did I just do my math right?! That could be a first!!).

For my wreaths, I included a very NON-BORING holly sprig and burlap button. How'd ya like dem apples, lady??

Awww, yeah.
