Christmas Cheer

With the weather being so nice this week, it's really hard posting CHRISTMAS stuff. But with merely 60 days left until Christmas, it's time to get started with this year's holiday cards and projects!

So to stir up a little holiday inspiration in spite of the nearly 80 degree temps, we have a few cheerful projects to share thanks to Design Team Members Celeste Brodnik and Mary Pat Siehl!

Designer's Note: This cone wreath is super fun and easy to make! Make a cardstock circle base. Then make paper cones using different pattern pieces. For the large base of cones, I used a 4" square and folded the paper to make a cone and adhered it to the circle base. For the next layer of cones, I used a 3" square. Adhere these directly to the first round of cones. Next, create a center piece. I made a 4" circle and attached a holiday greeting and attached it to the center of the wreath.  For the hook, I attached ribbon on the back so that I could hang this fun wreath!
