Shabby Chic Christmas Trees

Easy and Fun

That is the only way to describe these 

Christmas Trees.

I went out in Steve's shop and cut these from left over plywood scraps.

Hot glued a small block of wood to the back,

 so that they would stand alone.

Then I set them on the fabric that I wanted,

and traced around them with a pen.

(Mine is off white painters canvas.

The kind that you buy at Home Depot 

to protect your floors when painting a room)

Next I cut the fabric out leaving an extra 1/2 to an inch around the edge. 

Then turned it over and hot glued it down at the edges.

When your done you have a fabric tree,

ready to embellish.

 That's when the fun come in:)

I used burlap, lace, buttons, sea shells, ric rac, pearl beads,and fabric flowers.

I'm planning on adding them to my Christmas mantel display.

Whoops, I never seem to see the wisps of hot glue,

until I take a photo for my blog, LOL.

Well, that was my afternoon project.

I'll show you what my friend and I are doing with the old windows

 as soon as we get them done:)

Have a great day . . .do something fun:)
