Paper Christmas Trees

Isn't this scrapbook paper Christmas tree darling? You can make it any color or size you want! Tutorial and patterns here by Red Velvet Girls.

Another cute and easy tree by Melissa Goodsell. She used Lily's tutorial which can be found here.

Taylor Design has this super adorable curled paper Christmas tree tutorial. Oh, I can imagine lots of glitter on the edges of those little curls, can you?

Bella Dia has some cute paper stacking Christmas trees. Love her color choices.

She used the same pattern for these fabric versions made by Sarah at the small object. awe!

It would be cute to make a whole shelf of these trees in different styles and display them all over for your own little village. Isn't paper the greatest invention, like... ever?

Blah to Tada

I found a super cute blog today! The ideas are clear and simple, and so is the photography. And if you have been reading this blog long enough, you know that I looove lovely pictures of food, simple craft projects and this blog, blah-to-TADA! has that in plenty.

 

 

Plain ice cream and aging fruit transform into deluxe treats and smoothies, then ice pops, bananas into bread and more.

She shows plenty of ways to reuse mundane items that would otherwise be trash. Plus a lot of these ideas are really great for little gifts for stocking stuffers, teachers, neighbors...

I would love for everyone to leave a link to a new blog you have discovered reading that you love so we can share those hidden little jewels!!

ps. sorry for the weird spacing! ever since blogger has changed the posting format, it has been fun with the new tools, but the spacing is always wonky, I can never get it right! anyone else experience and correct this too?
