This has to be one of the cutest ideas I’ve come across lately! I found these adorable Tiny Trees by Camilla at Family Chic and couldn’t wait to make some. I have a stash of wine corks and was so excited to finally find a good use for them. This is such a genius idea! And simple too.You can hop on over to view Camilla’s tutorial, and I’ll tell you how I made mine below. I put them together just a little differently, but either way will work just fine!You will need:

• Artificial tree clippings
• Corks
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun

1. Cut some artificial tree clippings. I just used scissors and cut some off a wreath.

2. Open your scissors and use one of the sharp tips to carefully push down into the top center of the cork. Twist slightly as you’re pushing it into the cork to create a small hole. It doesn't need to be very deep since we’ll be gluing it in place.

3. Put a dab of hot glue on the wire at the end of your clipping, and press into the hole.

At this point, you can give your trees a little trim to tidy them up, but I left mine au naturel.
And you’re done! It seriously took me about two minutes to make all three. And I had all the supplies on hand already. That’s my kind of project!
There are so many fun ways to use these! Right now mine are being used as decorations, but I have so many other ideas for them too. Like maybe on plates set at the table for Christmas dinner... or tied to Christmas presents... or as holiday party favors... so many possibilities!

How would/will you use these cute little mini cork trees? I would love to hear your ideas!

Are you ready for another crazy easy project? Good. Because this one is SO easy to make! You can make a bunch of these paint chip trees really quickly and the results are too cute! I made some of these little trees last year, but with a toddler helping me take out the Christmas decorations, those tiny fingers destroyed a few. They don’t look so cute all wrinkled up, torn, and covered in drool. So I decided to let her keep those and make a few more with some paint chips I had on hand. Yes, I’m a hoarder. Not really. Okay maybe a little.Another great thing about these trees, they’re super inexpensive. Half of your supplies are free! Although I don’t encourage taking tons of paint samples {maybe just a few}, but there’s nothing wrong with a little recycling. So don’t throw all those samples you grab throughout the year! There are tons of project ideas out there to help you use those paint chips up. And the color choices are endless! You probably don’t need me to tell you how to do this, but I have to or I won’t feel complete. ;)

You will need:

• Paint chips
• Cinnamon sticks
• Glue

1. Cut triangles out of paint chips.

2. Glue to cinnamon stick. I had a box of the decorative ones from Target, and just picked out the fattest ones. The thinner sticks don’t always like to stand. And done!See how easy that was? The kiddos could even help out with this project! Although if they’re young, watch out for this:Those would be two of my trees being used as Christmas tree ornaments. Luckily this was such an easy project, I didn’t cry at all. Plus, they look kinda cute laying there in the tree. Gotta love the little ones!

I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season! And doing plenty of fun Christmas crafts! Don’t forget to add this one to your list, and come back and tell me how much you love them!
