Crate Paper | DIY Christmas Tree Ornaments




Christmas Tree Ornaments with Crate Paper

The FaLaLa Collection from Crate Paper has some lovely white snowflake embellishments. Two snowflakes can be glued together to make Christmas tree ornaments. And if you add baker's twine, some stickers and wooden beads, you can create lovely ornaments. I'm also sharing this project on the Crate Paper Blog today. 














Tree Ornament with Wire Brush Tree


The golden wire brush trees from FaLaLa can be used in combination with a strip of patterned paper to create simple yet pretty tree ornaments.






What you will need





  • patterned paper
  • wire brush tree
  • double-sided tape and liquid glue
  • colored string
  • wooden beads
  • hole punch to make small holes

Cut a strip from patterned paper. Glue the wire brush tree onto the patterned paper. Glue the ends of the paper strip together with double-sided tape. Punch a hole and add the string and the wooden beads. Done. Isn't this an effortless project? Simple and pretty.




I hope you like my inspiration. Thanks for stopping by on my blog today. You can also see the project on the Crate Paper Blog today. Have a wonderful day, yours Sandra.




Crate Paper | Decorated Notebook Cover




Decorated Notebook Cover

I made a cute decorated notebook cover with the FaLaLa Collection from Crate Paper. I decided to go for a window frame made from plastic canvas, acetate (transparency foil) and cute ephemera pieces. And I added a garland at the top with buttons, sequins, tassels and some more ephemera. The notebook is made of 3x4 pieces of paper. And I started to write down Christmas wishes (in November at the time the photo was taken). I hope you like my inspiration. Have a good day, yours Sandra.
