Kitschmas Krafts!
In the spirit of June and Sandy, I wanted to share some of my Christmas crafts with you. Nothing says Happy Holidays like MAGAZINE TREES ! I made these while I was at work and yes, we actually used them as table centerpieces at our party. Mmmm, gold spray paint, glitter and sparkly pom poms- FESTIVE!
I used to make these out of phone books when I was growing up in the 70's. Now you can get the directions on the Reader's Digest website and start making your own holiday eyesore festive centerpiece. You still have plenty of time to make at least one before the big day. These ones were made from National Geographic (large) and Ellery Queen (small). I know you have some Ellery Queen stashed away somewhere, so no excuses.
What would kitschy crafters do without felt? You can make anything out of felt! Why, you could even take some leftover felt scraps & whip up some snazzy gift card envelopes for those hard-to-shop-for-types on your list. I hope nobody in my family is reading this. Somebody is getting "the gift of Oakland A's Baseball". Shhh! Don't tell!
If these ideas aren't enough for you, I highly recommend checking out the glamorous holiday craftstravaganza over at Kitschy Kitschy Coo! Thirteen Kitschy Christmas Crafty Things you simply cannot live without. This tin foil snowman is one of my faves:
I don't want to ruin the fun, but there is also something involving a can of hairspray. If you are a ladyfriend of mine, you may be getting one next year. That's all I'm going to say about that!
Get craftin' people!
