For my first project, I'd like to share with you my fabric strip Christmas tree!
And, here it is...
 
 
 
I was inspired by Melissa Phillips(lilybeanpaperie) to make the tree.  I didn't get a tree made for the challenge when they had it going on last month, but now it's done!  If you'd like to see the tutorial it's at the Papertrey Ink blog (Fabric Strip Christmas Tree Make It Monday #229).  The tree was easy to make by starting with a straw and spool.  I cut fabric strips and trims and tied them onto the straw.  The little tag was made using die and stamp from PTI.  The star was made by covering a star sticker with Faber Castell Luxe gold from MFT and sprinkled with gold glitter.  Please visit the list below to what amazing projects these talented ladies created!
 

 
 
Maria Patrick-that's me
 
  
Please come back tomorrow to see another Christmas project I made!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Take care!
Hugs,
Maria
