So I started decorating in early December. I just didn't get to post about it until now =) studying for finals and all. So the first thing I tried was to make a yarn Christmas tree. I planned after it dried to cut it in half so that I would have two that have flat backs so I could put one on either side of my door.
Turned out that using newspaper was a bad idea. took forever to detach it and I couldn't get all of it =) but this could easily be fixed with a little glitter. Would make it look purposeful and sparkly, because the newspaper would a perfect spot for glitter to stick.
This little snowman is the one I made. It is just printer paper. The nose is a piece of a orange box, the face is sharpie, and the buttons are pennies. the scarf is actually crocheted =) its two squares, the bottom one has the top corners attached and tassels attached to bottom.
This is Cristina's =) This is also printer paper and she used cut outs from magazines to make all the features
We change the steering wheel's cover to match the Winter theme and because we did not have a red and green we used and shades of blue. You simply start anywhere and just wrap over the end and then continue around. I then used tinsel string to tie tiny Christmas balls to it.
These is the finished trees. I cut them in half and then glued the backs to green construction paper. They didn't really fit in with the rest of our decorations. So our friends, who also happen to be our next door neighbors, let us put them next do there door. They said they would decorate them sometime soon, but finals have slowed that down a bit =)
You can see in these pictures the newspaper that I could not get off. I later looked it up and found out the styrofoam works better, but newspaper is free =)
