Felt Rose Christmas Tree Ornament

Ok, here is one last frugal (cheap) Christmas craft for this year!  This time I branched out and found my inspiration and supplies in the $1.00 section of Michaels. 

Supplies:

Christmas tree shapes $1.00 for ring of 5

         cardboard shapes and measure 6"

         tall.

Striped contact paper $1.00

Felt - already had on hand, but only cost

         29. for each sheet

Glitter

Glue

Ribbon

This ornament is so easy and quick, a perfect rainy day holiday craft project with your kiddos.  First step, remove Christmas trees from ring, then remove enough of the back off the contact paper to cover your tree shape, both back and front.

Now that super duper easy step is done it's time to decorate.  I decided to cut scalloped shaped strips of the bright green felt and glued down on the tree. 

Then I started creating my three little felt roses, by first cutting felt circles, which you then cut into spirals.  Next you simply start rolling the spirals into a rose shape.  Now cut little leaf shapes.  Attach your roses and leaves to your little trees and once they are nice and dry start applying glue for your glitter!

Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!

Holiday JOY Sign Tutorial - Dollar Store Crafting

Here I go again, more Dollar Tree Crafts!  I should really stay out of that place, I've gotten to where I only pay cash and then hide my finds when I get home so my hubby won't notice all the new craft supplies.  I guess when you think about it, it's not that bad

of an addiction, lol.        

                                 

                                                     

One of our family traditions was to hang miniature candy canes on the             Christmas tree, so I've loved candy canes ever since.  Dollar Tree had a string of the most adorable plastic candy canes, and turned up side down they make a perfect "J".

  

Supplies:

• Three small frames    
• Candy cane ornament
• Plastic ball ornaments
• Beads
• Ribbon
• Decorative Christmas paper
• Glue  

First spray paint the frames to your color of choice, I chose black because I thought it would make the color pop and it goes with my front den decor.  While the frames are drying cover the frames cardboard inset with your holiday themed paper, I used scrapbook paper that I already had on hand, but wrapping paper would work just great. Glue the little plastic candy cane down, oh tie a bow around it first.  Second cute the plastic ball Christmas ornament in 1/2, glue onto the second paper covered inset.  The lastly create a "Y" with various fun holiday beads on the third covered inset.

Once the frames are dry simply pop the decorated insets into them, and there you have it a very easy and inexpensive Christmas JOY sign!  So tell me what you think!
