@Mrs D: this is fabulous!! Thanks for sharing. Your trees looks awesome!
@chopsuey: Yeah how did you do the lights? Your tree is beautiful!

@Mrs D: @delight: 
thanks ladies!
I bought some sheer black ribbon and hot glue'd it on the tree. Then, I drew a light bulb on a piece of card stock, placed it over a piece of felt and cut around it x60 (was too lazy to trace that many light bulbs on the felt) 
my kids love the tree though, so it was worth it

@chopsuey: they look great...great work!
FYI - JoAnns has 60% off one item right now (I used on the Felt for the tree) plus 20% off your total purchase starting 11/19...would be a great time to grab supplies for this!
DH played with it for an hour yesterday!

Cute! I actually bought material this weekend to make one of these! Thinking about tying it in with our book advent "calendar"...maybe putting an ornamenet on each book, and he can put one up each night? I dunno yet.

@Mrs D: @chopsuey: love them both so much!!! Good job!
@chopsuey: what is removable on your tree? Are the lights glued on and the ornaments are movable?

@mediagirl: thanks!

These are so cute! DH's aunt brought me a bunch of green felt so I could make one for my LOs. I'm not particularly crafty, so not sure how it will go. I'm also pretty sure all the pieces will end up under the couch, but I like the idea of some non-removable items like your's @chopsuey: .

@chopsuey: the lights are amazing. Well done. I have been working on my tree for a couple hours and I still have lots to do. I can't imagine doing the lights too!! I'll post a pic when I'm done. May be a few more nights...

@chopsuey: how do you have yours hung on the wall? I used sticky tack stuff but it keeps falling down... Maybe I need to use a lot more sticky tack?

@chopsuey: inspired me to make lights! I think I am going to make new/more ornaments if she actually plays with it this year!

@chopsuey: finally got mine up! It took me a few days to figure out how to get it to stick to the wall!
@Mrs D: Thanks for the great Christmas craft. DD loves it and my SIL made one for her little girl too.
@Smurfette: Love your tree and lights!!

How do the ornaments stick?? Just because felt sticks to felt?? I feel dumb but I don't get it!

@delight: I bought the picture hanging ones. Last year mine fell all the time. The picture one seems to be working and I used the whole package!
hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts
@delight: awwww looks great! Haha I put tape all over the back of ours.

@Smurfette: do you stick them directly to the felt or did you glue gun on paper to the back first?
GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts
@delight: directly on the felt. One side on the wall and one on the felt. They Velcro together. I figured next year I will just have to replace the ones that stick on the wall.
