Christmas DIY {part 1}

My apartment is very small.  Small enough that I don't even have space for a little 3 foot Christmas tree.  I was on Pinterest the other day and I saw someone had made a Christmas tree out of felt pinned onto a cone.   So, I found myself some felt squares, a Styrofoam cone and a cute topper and made this darling tree.   Here is a link to the original picture!

{yay for slightly crooked stars!}

It was super easy but a very time consuming.  I did it over two nights because my fingers hurt from all the felt cutting!


Looking back I should have counted how many circles I cut.  I used almost six 8 1/2 by 11 sheets.  I also chose to cut three different sizes.



I'm quite happy with my new little tree!

Up next is my wreath named Violet!

What have you been crafting lately?

  2. ps. I like the colours you used more than the original. It's more vibrant and cheery :)

  3. I have a whole folder on my computer full of projects to try when I'll actually have time, so far I haven't had much success with the "time" part :). I like your tree, it's cute and I like the fact that you chose different colors for the "leaves".
