What You’ll Need:

• Yarn
• Command Hooks (mini size, value pack)
• Flat decorations (snowflakes, stars, circles etc)
• Scissors
• Measuring tape
• Useful but optional – laser pointer

How to make your own Three Step Yarn Modern Christmas Tree:

Find the centre of your wall or table – wherever you are making the tree. A laser pointer is useful but not necessary for this step. Attach one command hook to the wall to make the top of your tree, with the hook facing the ceiling.

At the bottom on your tree (either at table height or the floor) measure how wide the tree will be. The closer to the ground you go, the wider the base of the tree will be. Decide how far apart you want the ‘branches’ to be (our tree was table height and we did them 6′ apart). Keep in mind that the bigger the tree, the more command hooks you will need. Stick the command hooks to the wall at your chosen intervals with the hooks facing the floor.

Start the tree with the top hook, tying the yarn to the hook to secure.

Wrap the yarn back and forth from the top hook to the bottom ones, looping back on itself each time. Tie another knot at the top hook when finished.

We hope you love this quick modern Christmas tree as much as we do, happy crafting!

The materials for this project were bought from a local department store, the fabric we used is actually a sparkly table cloth! It’s certainly amazing what you can find if you use your imagination. You could also check out your local craft or fabric store, they always have a lot of selection.

DIY Christmas Card Wall Display and Pin Board Idea

What you’ll need:

• Foam board (36” x 24”)
• Christmas fabric or table cloth (as we used here)
• Mod Podge glue
• Hot glue gun/glue sticks
• Ribbon
• Scissors
• Ruler/measuring tape
• 2 foam brushes
• Push pins

Firstly, measure and and cut your fabric to fit the foam board.  Leave about two inches of material to wrap around the edges of the board. Cut the corners of the fabric to remove any bulkiness, therefore resulting in a nicer fit that’s easier to glue down. 

Secondly, using the foam brush apply a thick layer of Mod Podge to the back of the foam board.  After that, fold the fabric over the edges to glue it in place.  Continue this process until all of the fabric is secured.  Set the board aside and allow it to dry completely. 

Once the mod podge has dried you can add the ribbon.  Measure the lengths you need and cut it to fit. Then, secure the ribbon onto the board with the hot glue gun. Be sure to measure the spacing between each ribbon.  Double check with a card!

What You’ll Need:

• A shallow wood box
• Acrylic paint
• Glitter (optional)
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Mini decorations
• Small clothes pegs

Paint the inside of the box mint and then the outside a bright, deep pink. Add a layer of glue to the inside part of the box, covering the mint then sprinkle with glitter. Glue the mini decorations and clothes pin in place. Be sure to let everything dry between steps.

Paint the entire box dark grey. When the grey is dry, use a sponge brush to add a light layer of white to create a weathered wood look. To make this effect, dip the sponge into paint and wipe off any excess before dragging the sponge lightly across the wood. Add some mini decorations to the bottom of the box.

Paint the inside of the box silver and the outside gold, and then finish with the mini decorations and clothespins.

Now you can display your Christmas card and photos in style, happy crafting!
