Ribbon Tree

One more way to use those cones!  A Ribbon Tree is a great way to use whatever colors you want to add to your Christmas tree.  You will need 1 cone, ribbon, glue gun and a piece of string to make the hanger.  Optional is a pom pom for a topper.

 I used every inch of the spool of ribbon for one tree, so don't be careless when you cut the ribbon in pieces - you cannot waste a bit!!!

 The ribbon was from Dollar Tree.  Nine feet of 5/8 wide, cut into 
2 and 1/2 inch pieces.

 

Using a glue gun, start at the bottom of the cone and glue pieces all around the bottom.





I glue a piece on as shown here ---->

 Glue the edge of the wrong side. Do it all the way around, then put glue on the other end of the piece and fold up to edge.  









Glue a piece of ribbon on the top.  


Just keep going up, over lapping each layer.

 Glue a piece of string to the top so you can hang it on your Christmas tree or to a package - how cute!
 You can add a pom pom to the top.

Which one do you like the best????????????????




Are you going to make one?  
Will you post it so we can see?

All the tree ornaments I have made are to be donated to the Christmas tree at the Party for Children with Downs that our church is helping to sponsor in December.

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him!  I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday.  And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots.  It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25.  I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small.  BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find.  Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29.  The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00.  So looks like I spent under 3.00!  I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...

Christmas! I Love Christmas!

I absolutely love everything about the Christmas season.  There are so many ways we can celebrate Jesus, our Saviour with our friends, our family, and our community.  I want to share with you what has been going on in my little world. For Thanksgiving all our kids were here with us and the day after Thanksgiving the girls and I made wreaths from the grapevines in our yard, collected pinecones and painted some of them.  We painted - we started preparing for our celebrations.  Fun stuff. One evening we went to the boat parade.  Lots of pretty lights, fun decorated boats. and cold weather!  Yes, it was coat and mitten weather in Florida! At Bayou George Christian Church, we ladies had our own awesome start of the Christmas season.  We worshipped together, led by Faye and Libby. We invited Panama City Christian Church and Eastside Christian Church ladies to join our "Christmas Gathering" and we had 38 beautiful women!  It was su...
