Mini Christmas trees

Hey Dolls! So I wanted to share my latest DIY projects I've been working on for about a week now. Christmas time in the Valdivia residence is fast approaching and I wanted to be sure I'm ready this year. Every year the holidays come and go so quickly I barely have enough time to enjoy the lights and smell of my Christmas tree before I have to start taking them down. 

Well this year I wanted to be prepared. I am currently on a DIY high and have been making EVERYTHING I can. I don't know about you dolls, but I get a huge satisfaction knowing I made something myself. Plus my boyfriend really likes it too. I find he appreciates the things I make and really is proud of them. Last weekend our friends were over and when they noticed the mini Christmas trees in the kitchen, he was quick to say, "Reyna made them!" :) 

Any-who, I just finished my latest Mini Christmas tree. It's the golden pine cone one in the middle. Super easy to make, except my pine cones were a little too ripe and they were not easy to break off :/ Other than that, all it took was my empty cereal box, pine cones and some spray paint. OH lets not forget the almighty hot glue gun. I got the idea from several sources. These mini Christmas trees are popping out everywhere this season! Target, TJ MAXX, Ross, and everywhere on Pinterest! Some are really expensive, but these DIY ones are super easy, and fairly cheap.  I've been working on them every night when the little one goes down. Maybe I'll do a step-by-step how to...hmm thoughts?
