Gum Drib Trees Too Wreaths

Happy Mon Everyone!  I CANNOT believe that this calendar week officially kicks off the holidays.  Today I induce got some other persuasion for you lot if you lot desire to larn a footling jump on a few Christmas crafts.  

Several years agone at our church building nosotros had a Christmas-themed Girl's Night Out.  Different ladies shared ideas for beautiful gift-wrapping, traditions to source amongst your family, baking, together with decorating.  One sweetness friend who is a decorating guru shared these gum drib projects that she had created, together with I had to rush correct domicile together with brand some!   

I purchased some styrofoam cones together with gum drops (they unremarkably induce got buckets amongst cherry-red together with light-green only) from Hobby Lobby together with started hot gluing.  This is a super uncomplicated project, it only takes a footling flake of patience to gum each slice on.  

I display these inward my children's bath along amongst a sled sum of plush Boyd's Bears that I used to collect.  They're only likewise cute inward their footling knitted sweaters together with hats!

I also flake off a bigger projection that year, I made a gum drib wreath for each child's door.  I used an 18" styrofoam wreath cast together with covered the front end together with sides.  This truly took quite a piece but I worked on it a footling at a fourth dimension piece watching television set inward the evenings.  Beware...this size is HEAVY in ane trial you lot larn it  completely covered.  

You volition run into a lot of this yesteryear the fourth dimension you lot are finished!  I bought bags of multi-colored gum drops at Wal-Mart for $1 each.  I believe I used 6-7 bags per wreath.

This is likely my 4th twelvemonth to purpose these.  I bought a few XL ziploc storage bags that I seal them inward together with only shop them inward the attic.  No bugs induce got bothered them together with they've truly stayed inward pretty proficient shape.  I unremarkably only induce got to reattach a few pieces that may induce got fallen off each twelvemonth when I larn them out.  

Give this projection a try!  The kids truly savour having a exceptional wreath on their door.  They could fifty-fifty brand some amongst you, you lot only may desire to attach the gum drops amongst toothpicks broken inward one-half rather than using the hot gum unopen to footling fingers.
