Hello Everyone
I hope that your Christmas shopping and preparations are going well! ;-)
I have an Aunt who is 86 and stays in a Retirement village near us. She is in room, which she shares with another lady. So I wanted to give her something Christmassy for her room, but had to keep it small.
I had got some inspiration from the shopping centre near us, that had a Christmas tree, made from huge doilies. So here is my tree, made from different sized diecuts. I am sure that any circular type diecuts would work perfectly.
I used a dowel stick for the centre and punched holes into the centre of my diecuts. I also added a little plastic jar, which I covered with paper, as the base. Each diecut piece I just cut a slit from the centre to the edge, and then stuck the ends together to give it a curve.
I added pearls and gems as the decorations.
This is how it looks from above!
I will pop past my Aunt today and give it to her. I hope she likes it!!
Anyways....hope you are enjoying the festive season.
Have a super, festive day!
