Wow - the week went by really fast! I originally started to type this as an early draft of my new weekly Pinterest post so I could post it later in the week, but realized that it's already been a whole week since I last posted! I guess having 2 days off work helped to make the time go by fast.
This week's Pinterest inspired post are these Santa Hats. I originally found these on
Thrifty Decor Chick's blog, but also pinned them to remind myself to get it done this year.
Super cute, huh? I won't do a tutorial since you can just click over to her fantastic blog. However, I did use different materials than she did: red felt, black felt, white felt, and iron-on sparkly bling. I used hot glue to put it all together, even the iron-on bling. I was really happy with how mine came out!
I originally was going to make 2 in different sizes, but I used the other foam cone to make this seashell tree from my first
Pinterest Addiction Weekly post.

I wasn't too happy with how it came out, so I made an attempt tonight to fix it. I added more shells at the top so it would have more of the tapered, cone shape. I also used a different shell at the top and added a jute bow. I wasn't able to find a starfish that is small enough, but once I do, it will be the perfect addition to this little tree. So, I'm much more pleased with it now and glad that I fixed it.
