DIY Christmas ornaments tree and wreath

-


        I have been watching YouTube videos lately about DIY Christmas decorations. There are tons of videos crafters out there who shared their ideas about Christmas crafts. I love the tree and wreath ideas made of ornaments purchased from the Dollar Tree store. It is a wonderful idea to do crafting that don't cost me much.
       My first project was the ornament wreath. I thought the red, green, gold and silver combination is so festive. I bought seven tubes of different sizes and assorted colors, grabbed one of the wire hangers in our closet and the wired-ribbon I have on stash. It just took me around 30 minutes to finish the job. I don't want to go through the procedure on how I made it because there are tons of videos available on YouTube, but here are the pictures.





    Another wonderful idea is the ornament tree. Other people use a styrofoam for this. I used a cardboard from the Dollar Tree Store, formed it into a cone, then stapled and taped to secure. I chose the red and gold combination this time making it look so rich and vibrant. I then patiently and strategically glued the different sizes of ornaments onto it. I realized the gap was just too obvious that I can see the cardboard inside. So, I went back to the Dollar Store to buy a red tinsel garland to fill the gaps (one garland was not enough for this tree. I am planning to go back to the store to buy two more garlands) I glued  the star on top to finish the look. The other side is not done yet since I ran out of tinsel but I am definitely happy with how it turned out.




I will definitely make another one next month. For now, I have to get back to my studies. Thank you for reading my blog.

Image
The trend in cross stitching world right now is to work on a project that is picked by the decision wheel or roulette. I like the idea so I downloaded the app on my phone. I like the idea of not wasting my energy deciding which one to stitch for the day. Most of the time, it is a difficult process for me since I have about 150 plus of projects wanting my attention. So, I decided to have the first set of 11 projects. They are based on the following categories. One big full coverage project - my plan is to stitch 100-200 stitches a day on this project One Mirabilia design  One Lavender and Lace design One Joan Elliot design  One Dimension kit One Christmas stocking Five various designs from different designers I have chosen the projects for this endeavor. My plan is to work on these projects until they are finished. For instance, when a Mirabilia project is finished, I will pick another Mirabilia project that I have already started to add to the wheel. I wan...

Diamond Painting Unboxing

On August 28th, I received the largest diamond painting kit I have purchased so far. I ordered it from AliExpress vendor. It was on sale, I think but I bought it for $16 free shipping. Here is what it looked like when I received the goods. The supplies were not in a box like the ones I saw on YouTube and Facebook. They were wrapped in a bubble wrap. I figured maybe because it was a bit cheaper. These are the contents. I have all the diamonds that are required for this project. I am not sure what are that blue and black plastic thingy though. I am not sure what it is for. Can you please tell me? They called this a Dream Home - Cabin Scenery. And I think it is a 90x40 cm picture size. This is a round drill kit. I thought I ordered a square drill kit but I wasn't really paying attention to the diamond shape when I ordered. the canvas This will be my third DP project. The first DP project I did was the kitten. I ordered the kit from Amazon. I wo...
