Grapevine Christmas Tree

I started my Christmas projects and shopping the other day!  I know, it's not even Thanksgiving, but our Thanksgiving will be very low key this year and I am totally ready for the Christmas Season!

I've been picking up tree cones, bells, trinkets, scrapbook paper and lots of other Christmas themed craft items for the last several weeks.  One of my finds was a grapevine cone at 40% off from Hobby Lobby.  Plus HL had 50% off all Christmas the last few times I've been there!  I scored some great stuff. 


My first project was the grapevine cone.  I used tiny red bead garland and some shiny silver balls and made this cute little tree. I used hot glue here and there to attach the garland to the tree and then randomly hot glued the silver balls onto the tree.   Total decorating time was around 45 minutes and total cost was less than $10.00.



Not only have I been on the ball with Christmas crafts - I have also been on the ball with Christmas shopping.  I have all my nieces and nephews done and the one big item for each of our girls is also complete.   You have no idea how stress free the season will be for me!  I still get to find some more special items for my girls and hubby but the hard part is done.
