Quick Christmas Tree Art

Woohoo!

Friday :)

That's all I need to say, right?

I've been enjoyng a relaxing *and quiet* afternoon since I took my final this morning and was able to come home to an empty house.

I've been having a blast sharing all my mantle projects with you this week and I hope you've enjoyed seeing them!!

I have one last quick project to show you for today and then I'll be taking a break to just chill out this weekend :)

Well if you call christmas performances, cookie parties, wrapping gifts and wrapping up studying for finals chilling out.

But it'll be a lot less stressful than a weekned of homework!

So...this next project is suuuuper easy.

So easy that I don't really have a step by step picture process for you .

But here are the lovelies:

Aren't they fun?

And if you were super brave, you could let the kidlets help you :)

All you need is:

*scrap wood (or canvases would work too!)

*Paper for trees

*Chipboard trees (optional)

*Vinyl (or stickers) for letters.

Here they are hanging out on my mantle...

I had some chipboard trees that I got from Michaels in the dollar bins.

It was actually a small chipboard album so I just took the little ring clip off and had six trees!

Score!

I used the chipboard trees underneath the paper to give it some dimension.

I like how they pop off the wood a bit.

I used my exacto knife to trace around the chipboard piece onto the paper and then just used dabs of hotglue to glue the paper on.

I also inked the edges of the trees to keep the bare chipboard from showing.

The letters were cut on vinyl with my cricut.

Easy as cut, peel and stick!

I used white trim paint for the white background and red enamel spraypaint for the red one.

And nope. I didn't distress them :)

Aren't you proud!

Besides waiting for the paint to dry, this project took less than 10 minutes.

Love simple projects that make a big impact :)

You can see the rest of my mantle here.

Which one is your favorite?

Have a happy, festive weekend, guys!
