I recognize that I am not the craftiest person reading this blog, but I wanted to tell you all how cheap easy this was to make. I have had my eye on these felt trees for kids to mess with for a few seasons, and I was unsure if it would be worth it.
WELL.
The hardest part was definitely getting up the will and courage to take my kids to the craft store. Honestly, I know how hard it can be, Eliza refused to sit in the cart or even keep up with me and Anna screamed at me for not buying her bubble gum all the way home.
But anyway, I bought 1/2 yard of green felt, and 8 colors of felt for ornaments. This project was about $5. Seriously. I cut the tree out, it is actually 3 sections, and thumbtacked it to the wall. Then we cut out 3 shapes per color, we have balls, turnips and bells. Then I cut little strips and polka dots and zig zags to decorate the ornaments if desired. I didn't get out the glue gun or anything. Setting it all up and cutting it out took 1 hour.
Such an easy project if you've been eyeing them like I have been.
I was thinking of using it as an advent, we have 24 ornaments, so they can put one up each day, if I can keep them from playing with all of them all the time.
I am very happy with it.
