I have decided to do Christmas on a budget this year. I usually end up ALMOST going over that limit every year, and in an effort to keep my bank account in tact, it'll all (or at least mostly) be DIY! So I'm going to share with everyone what I'm doing, along with where I'm getting the tuts. Now, keep in mind, I don't know how to sew...sooooo, everything I am doing will be (duh) no-sew. But I'm hoping that also cuts down on the amount of time these will take.
First off, its soooo rainy...and Molly has a bit of the blues. Awwww...
So here's what I went shopping for:
Dollar Tree finds are tapered candles, small scented candles (b/c I don't want to buy the scented oils), and the tongs. I got a few other things for myself, but if I hadn't all of that adds up to about $12. I found a cute little tea cup (still with saucer), a fun coffee/tea cup and a little decorated dish at the thrift store, and those would be about $4. Bet ya can't guess what I'm doing with all this...oh wait, I bet ya can if you're a DIYer like myself... :)
Next up on the Christmas list is some fun little frames. I found these at the Dollar Tree, so about $4. I didn't like the selection of glitter they had, size and color, so I found some at Joann! The 2 big tubes were 40% off, so they ended up about $5 for both, and then they had some more (the littler packages) in the $1 bins, so I snagged those as well. And I'm not 100% on how I am going to make these fun, but I have a few ideas rollin' around in the ol' brain.
That's all for now, I'll post more pics, maybe even a bit of a how-to later on. Toodles!
