The idea was from Pinterest but I modified it by adding the Christmas lights. I love how it turned out!

They are super cute and so easy. </p> [attach=4677/16/ohrvsd.564x595.8c9f9660698d8985b60a6bcdb5e3c4eb.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-christmas-crafts-projects-diy#post-2661959 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 11:34:23 +0000 ocean81 2661959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: Stars! Good idea. My pregnancy brain made me black out on easy shapes to cut.</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Ha ha! I have until May to give her anything that a baby can't have :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-christmas-crafts-projects-diy#post-2661950 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 11:28:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2661950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: @ocean81: I wanted to do one of these felt trees for my 3 year old this year! And then I remembered the baby would immediately crawl over and try to eat all the ornaments. </p> <p>So far I've done almost nothing. I get lofty ideas then remember I don't have time to shower everyday... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-christmas-crafts-projects-diy#post-2661918 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 11:03:54 +0000 psw27 2661918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean81: I got too tired last night (thanks pregnancy!) to do anything but cut out a star and a few plain, red, round ornaments and my LO immediately went right for it this morning! So I think trying to make it "cute" will really only be for my own ego! hahaa </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-christmas-crafts-projects-diy#post-2661905 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:55:17 +0000 ocean81 2661905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: I just made a felt Christmas tree too! My ornaments are so sad .... Circles, triangles and hearts, ha. That is as crafty as I can get. My daughter loves it though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-christmas-crafts-projects-diy#post-2661895 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 10:41:49 +0000 psw27 2661895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: so pretty! </p> <p>@oscarthegoon: cute!</p> <p>I'm working on a felt Christmas tree and ornaments for LO.

I love them! I would totally buy one at a craft fair. </p> <p>@honeybear: they're alkyd resin paints (mine are by Pebeo). I use pipettes to apply it and then swirl it about. It's the product that produces the effect, very minimal talent required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-christmas-crafts-projects-diy#post-2661871 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 09:35:14 +0000 honeybear 2661871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: That's so neat! What type of paint/technique are you using? I usually just use acrylic craft paint. </p> <p>@oscarthegoon: These are adorable! I've got a bunch of pompoms that need to be used... ;) </p> <p>I've been painting ornaments too. I'll try to get a picture and post it later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-your-christmas-crafts-projects-diy#post-2661867 Tue, 06 Dec 2016 09:25:52 +0000 oscarthegoon 2661867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snowman magnets to give as small gifts and sell at the craft fair at my son's school.
