I was lured by all sorts of colorful different sized trees. At first glance they looked like feather trees, but upon closer inspection they were made out of ribbon. I apologize that I have no pictures to share with you guys! I sent my mom back into the store twice to check out how they were made because my mind was already making it a priority to replicate these adorable funky trees!
So on Saturday, David and I made a stop at Michael's {after Four Christmases, which was hilarios!} and I picked up some different sized styrofoam trees, serrated scissors {which I didn't end up using}, and some ribbon in colors I wanted.
When I got home, I got to work! I started cutting the ribbons about 2" long and then tried cutting them with those fancy scissors, unfortunately they didn't make the edges as pronounced as I had hoped, so I decided to cut every single edge myself. Wow, that was a long process!
I started with the small tree and worked my way up to the biggie! I think I lost some skin due to touching the hot glue oh, let's say, about 1,000 times! But, it was all worth it and I think the trees turned out quite lovely.
What are your thoughts? I'm anxious to know : )

Love them! They turned out so cute. I don't know if I would have the patience to do them, but I wish I did.
I LOVE the trees! You are amazing!! I may have to try this next year or something.
You should definitely make a gingerbread house. We had a great time. We didn't follow any of the wait time instructions (because they are LONG) and ours stayed together just fine.
