After so many ooohs and aaahs and gaining my own craft room this year, I FINALLY have started my own crafting blog to share my creations. Why "Oh Christmas Tree Crafts" you ask? Anyone who knows me, is well aware of my love for the holiday season and collection of Christmas trees!Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15078152432437129973noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9157943887376116525.post-9659742375530467322012-12-19T20:48:00.000-08:002012-12-19T20:48:10.643-08:00Burlap & Ribbon Christmas Tree This is a very easy and fun craft that turns out FANTASTIC!

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Directions:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Cover canvas with burlap, securing with hot glue on the back of the canvas (think wrapping a present for the edges).</li>
<li>Cut various lengths of ribbon according to your preferences starting at the bottom. The sides of the ribbon can be cut straight or at an angle. </li>
<li>Arrange your ribbons and trim if necessary. Ribbons can be spaced or touching, in order of length or abstract.</li>
<li>Hot glue your ribbons to the canvas.</li>
<li>Add your star. For fabric and scrapbook paper, use a cookie cutter to trace and cut your perfect star. You can also paint wooden stars or top your tree with a fun bow!</li>
<li>Using sequins and buttons to decorate your tree. Ribbon scraps can be used to create presents under your tree.</li>
</ol>
<div>
For kids you can help them cover the canvas and have the ribbons pre-cut (think sequencing lesson!). The lime green Cool Shot hot glue guns are a low temp, kid friendly hot glue gun that I have had a lot of success with. Just make sure you allow extra time for it to heat as it takes longer.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times;">Update 12/2014: For the past year, I have been writing DIY articles for our local paper. After over 8,000 hits on my blog, I updated the steps and added pictures for the article, which you can view <a href="http://issuu.com/bcseagle/docs/theeagle_his_winter2014/21?e=2190497/10381157" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times;">The holidays are quickly
approaching which means a couple of things – time with the family, yummy food,
presents and NO SCHOOL! While the teachers are enjoying their time off, you are
left with hours upon hours to fill and keep the elves entertained. These DIY
glittery ornaments are a fun way to add a little sparkle to your tree without
all the mess that a glittered ornament likes to shed (think those ornaments
that keep on giving).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part –
the glitter is contained to the inside of the ornament! This project is a fun
way for kids to not only help with the tree, but to also make affordable gifts
for friends and family that are made with love. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

pieces. Wrap the middle of the long piece of wire around your finger twice to
make a loop, making sure the remaining ends of the wires are even. Using one
piece of the short wire, fold it in half and twist and intertwine it with one
side of the long piece. Repeat on the other side using the other piece of short
wire. Roll the ends of the wires into a curled shape and adjust to your
