Very cute!! Nice job!

Thanks everybody! I appreciate your compliments so much!!

Oh and the tree topper.....forgot about that. I made that too. It's a styrofoam ball decoupaged with tissue paper to give it a smoother texture and I inserted bamboo skewers, spray painted red, then glitter. It's not exactly what I was going for, but its close.

Thanks again for the nice comments!

Wow I am really nervous about my first post. I've been a fan (or lurker) for over a year now, but have never posted any of my crafty items. So here goes.....

I have had this white Christmas tree for a couple of years and hadn't really found a theme that I liked, but this year I finally decided I wanted a retro, kind of a mod feel. So I drew up an "old style" ornament shape and peppermint candy patterns and went to town decorating them all. It took me about a day and a half to get them all done. I really like how they turned out and it was fun to get out the glue instead of sewing. Kind of like grade school art class.

I used polar fleece with an iron on stabalizer mostly because I liked the bright color and texture of the fleece. Then glued on buttons, rick rack, etc and used lots of glitter glue!
I hope you like them.

Wow!!!! Your daughter is so lucky! I would have loved something like that as a kid, heck I still would!

This ROCKS!

Cute! Great job for your first time!
I usually make a sleeve for mine too, but you could also use some ribbon as a hanger, or a strip of fabric. You could just sew the ends of the ribbon to each top corner.

Very cute and useful too. I am gonna have to do this to use up some of my huge pile of scraps. Thanks for the great idea!

It looks great! I love the colors you used, and the dark wall.......LOVE IT! You did an amazing job and what a great surprise for your daughter.

This is totally fabulous!! I really need to learn how to crochet! Totally hitting "this rocks"!

Those are amazing!!! I would love a wreath like that! Great job!

What a great idea! I love them!
