It's beginning to look like Christmas :)

Good morning my fellow Cricuteers!

 I hope your week is off to a fabulous start. This fine Monday Morning brings us another fun challenge at Exploring Cricut: This week's challenge: It's beginning to look like Christmas!!! Well, given that my life has been chaotic this past few weeks -to say the least LOL!- I decided to go with a simple project, I know you will appreciate that ;)


For this ornament I used 6 stars from Birthday Bash ( you pretty much can use any stars you want, that is the beauty of it!) in three different sizes. I scored from all the vertexes to the center point and slightly folded them to give the "conical" look. I added some Liquid pearls to the edges  and covered the stars with Mod Podge before assembling.

I used a beading needle with double nylon thread and various sizes of wooden beads to create the "trunk". I am pretty sure you can use craft wire to give it more support but since I used a small seed bead at the top (behind the yellow star) I decided against the wire. The bottom piece is a wood circle from Studio Calico glued with glossy accents.

I hope you join us on this fun challenge, I cannot wait to see your creations!

  Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do appreciate your comment, have a wonderful and blessed day!
