Now that it is officially after Thanksgiving, I feel like I can jump head first into all the Christmas fun! While I have been posting tons of fun Holiday crafts since November 1st, now I feel like I officially have the green light! These DIY abstract geometric colorful wood ornaments were inspired by the organic shaped clay and acrylic earrings I see popping up on everyone lately. I love the geometric shapes and colors of them so much that I used my Glowforge to laser cut large wood pieces to make my own ornaments. Now I have a set of the prettiest...

Do you remember my marbled pumpkins from Halloween? Well, I took the same technique and applied it to these unfinished ceramic ornaments I found at Oriental Trading and created the prettiest marbled ornaments ever!

I told you a few weeks ago that I was all about the paper mache cones this year for my Christmas crafting.

But alas, here I am with the cutest DIY tassel fringe Christmas trees ever! All you need is yarn (I used Omegacryl), hot glue, felt, and a papermache cone. Aren’t they fun?! And you can make them solid colors or in a colorful ombre like these! The choice is...

The post, DIY Ruffled Tulle Christmas Trees, is sponsored by JOANN. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep the crafts ever flowing! Sometimes you have an idea for a project but never really consider how you are going to actually make said thing. Is that just me? Well, this project is one of those. I had the idea to use all the pretty colors of tulle available at JOANN to create ruffly and feathery looking tulle trees. After some trial and error and a tree that looked more like a prom dress than a tree, I finally found the perfect technique. Today I...
