A shabby chic ruffled Christmas tree.

Hello wonderful Crafty Scrappy Happy friends!

I hope you had an AMAZING holiday.

I hope you ate wonderful food.

And gave thanks for all you have.

I am sorry that I was away----

but I am not sorry for the time I spent with my family and the memories I made.

BUT now, bring on the Christmas Decor!!!!

I LOVE the shabby chic look right now-

Sooo I was inspired to make this shabby chic ruffled Christmas tree.

Sweet and simple---let me show you  how to make your own!

Here is what you will need:

-Fabric

-hot glue gun

-iron

-scissors

-candle holder and "tree topper"

-beads and pins {for the ornaments}

1. cut fabric into strips

2. fold and iron fabric in half

3. cut folded strips 

{And don't worry NONE of these steps have to be perfect---

let me tell you what I always say---my crafts are NEVER perfect...

but I like them even more because they aren't!}

4. Next find a candle stand and a tree "topper" {I found mine at Michaels}

5. Start wrapping and gluing the fabric so that each layer overlaps to the STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam with hot glue.

6. add ornaments {I used beads from my DIY jewelry stash} 

use a pin to attach them but pushing them right into the tree.

ruffled and fun right?

I like the messy fabric look. 

especially amongst the mercury glass decor!

Andddd because as you know, I  am ALWAYS changing my decor around---I HAD to try another spot for my tree....

I hope you have an amazing start to your week and I look forward to showing you my holiday decor in the next few weeks!!!

Ohhh and before I forget again----
