Love, Love, Love these white trees..... Making a Christmas Mantel!

****** Updated to add some more pictures!******


Somehow December brings out the best of the crafts!  I love making things and Christmas decorations are no exception!!  Today I made these Christmas trees!  The two tall ones on the ends are covered in a bumpy, stretchy fabric that is sold near baby fabrics in Joanns... (fleece type), one is covered with little white ball fringe and two are covered with fake snow!  I added a few more snow globes and some lights, put some snowflakes on the mirror... and hung some snow flakes below the ledge.... I think I am done with this part but we will see!  Right now I am loving how it looks!  Hoping for snow soon!!!!  What are you making???




Now some daytime pictures.....




And Finally below is the finished product!!

Stay Warm!  Nancy

  2. The fleecy/bumpy fabric is referred to as "Minky". It's really cute. I saw someone use a hot glue gun and spray paint over it on different surfaces to get that bumpy look too. Looks good Mom!
