I got this tape from the Salvation Army for 29 cents,and my mom and I decided to watch it. One project in particular caught our eyes. It was a project on how to make ornaments from Styrofoam and fabric. Without giving away the whole tutorial,you basically stab fabric into the Styrofoam ball,all the way around. This got me thinking. I was wondering if you could take this tutorial,and make a Christmas tree? So,I went to AcMoore and Walmart,and I got a Styrofoam cone,half a yard of green fabric,and a wire stem silver star. I got to work,and the entire process took about four days,off and on. My mom glued on the circle of felt onto the base of the tree,and it was done. Here it is!
I also made a crochet chain garland for it. Overall,I enjoyed to process,except for one little detail. This was very messy! I ended up with fabric bits and Styrofoam all over my lap every time I worked on this! It was fun,though. =) Now here is a little update. Some of the cookies have been baked,the temperature is getting closer to the coldness of snow,and I still have three gifts to crochet by Christmas. Oh,and I still have yet to decorate my bedroom. Not too much to do,right? =) Here are the links for everything.
