WISHmas Tree

This week on blah to Tada!, I crafted some greeting cards and gift tags using materials from past Christmases. Today, I'll do the same but instead of just one blah, I've got three to make one exciting Tada!

The first blah are these Christmas cards I accumulated through the years. After they holidays, I store them in a plastic box, never to be seen again...that's the blah of this blah.

These cards were lovingly sent with very meaningful wishes inside. I thought, "Why not keep these good wishes until future Christmases or pass them on to others?".

Then I was watching the Martha Stewart Show where they demonstrated how to make Christmas trees out of magazines:

It was a craft that was right up my alley -- hey, it's totally blah to Tada! You'll find the instructions here.

Here's my second blah...an old catalog just lying around the house.

I began folding...

...and folding.

Until I made my own Christmas tree!

I needed to jazz it up in my own personal way.

So I got a third blah -- a foil take-out container.

After cleaning it up, I made these
circles (I traced a coin with a pencil).

I glued the circles on the tree (with some hearts), added the greeting from the Christmas card and topped it with a foil star.

Tada! A WISH-mas tree I can display for years to come or give as a gift to a nice family on my list.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
