Hey guys! It's been forever since I last posted, I'm really sorry about that. The whole "life" thing just keeps getting in the way. Plus I've been on project-hiatus for a while now. It seems like everything in the works was finished and I just never started anything new. It's hard to paint and redo furniture in the winter because I usually do everything in my garage or driveway, and it's way too cold for that in the winter.
Anyway...I finally have a little DIY project to share with you! This is my advent calendar Christmas tree.
I started doing this last year after my makeshift picture frame advent calendar kept falling apart. Turns out this was so much easier! Plus, as we took each day off the tree we replaced it with the Christmas cards that came in the mail. So functional!
Here's a list of supplies you'll need to get started:
*A smallish Christmas tree - I got ours with my Rite Aid rewards during an after Christmas sale for 90% off back in the day when I used to coupon, circa 2010.*Gift tags - Mine are from Target Dollar Spot last year. They came in a small canister and had something like 50 tags plus twine for $3.
*Markers or any other writing utensil of choice - I happened to have metallic Sharpie paint pens in my stash.
*Something to attach the gift tag to the tree - I used clothes pins from Target Dollar Spot from last Christmas. I think they came in a pack of 10 for $1. You could also use string or twine to loop through the tag and hang on the tree.
*Christmas scriptures/stories about Jesus - I found a list of scriptures that includes verses from both the Bible and the Book of Mormon since we're LDS. You can find the one I used here, or search for your own on Pinterest/Google.
