THE 12 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS - DAY 11

ONLY 11 DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND COUNTING! BUT DON'T WORRY, THERE IS STILL TIME TO CRAFT SOME GREAT PRESENTS & DECORATIONS!



Today I am sharing a Christmas Tree and Ornament made from empty ribbon spools and paper scraps - I never throw anything away!

Stack the spools in largest to smallest order, cover with decorative papers and embellish with buttons, stickers, rhinestones, glitter and pearls! Glue all of the spools together. Tie with red and green ribbon, then I made a paper rosette for the topper. I used a very graphic paper line from Making Memories from last year, but this project would look lovely with some of the vintage papers that are out this year.

Follow the same steps for the Ornament, but thread the ribbon through the center of the spools (once glued) string on a crystal and thread the ribbon back up to the top. Then tie in a bow and hang on the tree!

A quick and easy project that is great for clearing out your stash!

Thanks for stopping by! -Beth
