My little Christmas tree

 Almost done except the star is missing. I need to get one of those today.

One of my favourite ornaments. Its a straw star from Israel. 

This is the oldest one I have. I love it. I got it in Grade 2 from "Santa" in school. It was the first ornament that wasn't made by me for my momma. Not made of beans and lentils, not scribbled on, no, not homemade, and all mine.

This one is just too cute. I got him a year or 2 ago when I had my little toilet brush of a tree. That itty bitty tree could only support the weight of tiny glass balls, so this guy wasn't used on the tree until this year.  Hes my marshmallow snow man on top of hersheys chocolate and a graham cracker

Christmas Ornament #4 [Yarn Trees]

A couple days ago the baby and I went to Salvation Army to see what they had. Our store isnt the greatest, but a while back it supplied me with most of my dishes when I was selling hand drawn plates and mugs. Anyways, I was kinda disappointed with what they had, and as we were about to leave I spotted a small out of place wrack with bags and bags of yarn. Its all mismatched and such, but I am not using it to crochet or knit, so it was perfect for me. $3 bag of assorted yarns for me!

Today I have made Yarn Trees for Christmas Decorations. They would look pretty as a center piece or on a shelf. I am going to dust them sparingly with glitter and put them on my craft dresser.

You will need:

Scissors
Cereal box or sturdy card paper
Yarn
Hot Glue Gun

Steps:

-Then curve it into a cone.
-Glue it together with the hot glue gun.

-Starting at the top, I put a dab of hot glue at the tip of the cone and then put attached the yarn.
-I wound it all the way down and then a few dabs of glue at the bottom to hold the yarn there.

-Then to make my tree look a little more tree like, I wound the yarn back up not as tight, just to give it some volume.

-One more dab of glue at the top and then I cut the yarn.

The end!
