Last year, at one of the craft sales I went to, I saw the sweetest idea for a tree ornament and, of course, thought to myself, "I can do that!". And just like that, at the next craft fair I went to, I found this box of Bee and Willow Advent Calendar bottlebrush trees, set on wooden spools. I came home and set upon the creative process of making something unique out of and idea and a box of trees.
I rounded up some sweet small-print Christmas paper, some tiny beads and baubles, skinny ribbon, and some vintage plastic snowflakes from a broken garland I had rescued at a yard sale, earlier this summer. With a large circle punch, a brown ink pad, some glue, scissors and paper trimmer, I got to work and came up with these adorable little trees.
With Pinterest as my inspiration, I went on to create other colors and styles...once you get started, the ideas just seem to roll...
Those are just darling!
