We are in love with this time of year.  As we think of what we want out homes to look like this holiday season, we have come across some of the most gorgeous DIY Christmas tree skirts.  Each of these are easy to make, they will make your pocketbook happy, and best of all, they are far more beautiful than anything you can find in stores.  Each link provided has a lovely tutorial to teach you how to make the tree skirt perfect for your Christmas tree.  Take a look, and let us know what you think!

Buy some inexpensive bulbs and a package of skinny feathers. They can be any color since they will be spray painted in the end. I chose a box of tiny bulbs, but you can do whatever size you like.


Cut the feathers to size. I cut mine about 2-3 inches long for my tiny bulbs. Hot glue the feathers onto the sides of the bulb. The wings can extend out to the sides or towards to back.  Just use a tiny amount of glue so it's less noticeable.

Remember my DIY pearl ornament from last year?  Well this year I wanted to add even more shimmer to my tree, the DIY way.  Here is what I came up with.  Gorgeous ornaments on the cheap are my favorite!  You can use just about any jewel that you can find.  I of coarse, chose the cheapest little crystals that I could for this project.  I found a HUGE bag of them at Walmart in the craft section.

It's official. I've decided I'm going to be the photographer for my newborn's photo shoot, and so I have begun collecting props and making props for the little dude. This week I worked on dyeing cheesecloth for his swaddle wrap prop. These were so easy to make and I think they will add the perfect touch to the photo shoot.

I made mine 1.5 yards long and used THIS tutorial (which I found on Pinterest) as a guide.



Oooo I just can't wait for him to arrive!
