My Mother-in-law gave the kids a tiny little tabletop tree to decorate...and I had no tiny decorations...soooooo
We made some.
I had a book the kids were uninterested in reading anymore and wanted to get rid of...
I loved the colors in the book, so I did the unthinkable and let them...*gasp*
...cut it up.
[I cringe a little even as I say it]
We used 2 different sized circle shaped paper punches and cut out various sizes and colors from the pages. Once we had a big pile of them,
we glued our paper circles to some thread using this method [just scroll down to the circle garland].
This would make a great ribbon for tying gifts too!
So our tree went from ho-hum...
To so fun!
Yay!
I am going to do that for my little tree too. Hey, I was thinking... now they can lace up the pages! (Another sewing class!)
ReplyDeleteI think you may be on to something with that hole punch and books!

Ooooh...fun book idea! I'd love to see your tree once you've finished - send me a picture. :)
