Love the Jute Christmas Trees

My heart is singing!  That's what happens when I am in Christmas crafting mode! Today I have been making some ornaments for the Christmas tree our church is decorating for a Christmas party we are helping to sponsor for children with Downs.  We are really excited to be involved in this ministry.   Supplies: I have some styrofoam trees (approx 2"X4"),  jute twine, glue gun and glue.  The trees and jute are from Hobby Lobby.   Then I grabbed a garland of snowflakes.  These are made to hang your Christmas cards on, I think.  They are from the Dollar Tree.  It is tiny clothes pins with felt snowflakes on a piece of jute.  I just cut off the jute and I will show you how I used them in a minute....  This is optional - kind of a last minute idea I had!!!   Something to keep in mind - the hot glue will melt the styrofoam so you have to use little dollups.  You start at the top of the tree, curl the end of you...
