Plastic Lid Christmas Tree

These days many people recycle their plastic drink containers and water bottles. Turns out though that the lids that come on those containers hold quite a controversy. Some sources say as long as they are reattached to their original container it’s okay to place them out with your curbside recycling. Other sources say that the melting point for lids is different than that of the containers, therefore the lids will contaminate the load. That leaves many of us with a collection of lids to use for crafting.

Beaded Christmas Tree Sun Catcher

Sun catchers are always popular with the kids! This is a great weekend project, or a fun project for a classroom. It will take a couple of days because the glue has to dry overnight. The actual making of the craft takes about 20-30 minutes. On the second day you’ll simply add a hanger and you’re done!

DIY Feather Sprays - Perfect For Uncommon Christmas Color Themes!

I am no stranger to Christmas trees with uncommon color themes, or themes in general, really. For a while I was all about pink and black and poodles to boot. Over the years I accrued the occasional poodle ornament and that was gangbusters but most everything had to be made by hand to accommodate my strange theme.

So this year, since it's all about the neons, baby, I made a neon tree that screams "LOOK AT ME!" As such the vast majority of what you will see on my tree was handmade. And lucky you I'm going to show you how to work around your own uncommon Christmas decor theme!

Glittered Glam Christmas Trees

I think I love Christmas for one very distinct reason... It is totally acceptable to have everything in your home covered with glitter. In fact, it's highly encouraged! So I decided to bling out a pair of paper mache cones I had in my craft stash!

Paper Christmas Tree

Decorating for Christmas is so fun, but it can also get a little pricey.  I don't like to spend a lot of money on things that will only be up for a month, so I made this paper Christmas tree for almost nothing.
