Three Crafty Christmas Trees

Since Station 8 has a Christmas open house the first weekend in November, 

I always get a jump start to my Christmas crafting.

I love to add a touch of home made goodies to my space.

(plus I love any excuse to plug in my glue gun and break out some glitter)

One of the things I made were these fun Christmas trees

The first one I made was from some wooden biscuits I "stole" from my hubbies shop.

I started off by gluing the first layer around the styrofoam tree.

 Then I just continued to glue around covering all the gaps.

After they were all glued on, you could see the '10' imprinted on each biscuit.

So I covered the whole thing with a coat of white paint and then a fun layer of glitter.

It didn't quite turn out like I imagined.  It kind of looks like my girls made it, 

but I keep telling myself it has rustic character.

The next one I made was my favorite.

I used vintage dictionary pages, a circle punch, a tree form and pins.

 I just punched out a bazillion circles, folded them in quarters, and pinned away.

And the last one I made was the easiest.

I simply hot glued twine around the tree form.

It's a little 'plain jane'

But sometimes simple is better.

Have you started any Christmas projects yet?

I'm hoping to start a few hand made gifts this weekend.

But I'll probably wait a few more weeks.

Hope you get a chance to break our the glitter this weekend!
