Wall Mounted Advent Calendar!!!

Posted on Thursday, November 29, 2012 by Christine @ theDIYdreamer.com 38 Comments |

We usually hide them on top of the fridge and take them down each morning for the girls to open their special doors and then we place the calendars back in their hiding spot. However, this year we decided to put and end to the chocolate advent calendars, instead… we created our very own Advent Calendar. Oh and not just an advent calendar but a huge 4 feet wall mounted advent calendar. It’s really GORGEOUS!! I wish I would have been able to [...]

No Sew Ribbon Christmas Tree Skirt!!!

Posted on Thursday, November 22, 2012 by Christine @ theDIYdreamer.com 48 Comments |

No Sew Ribbon Christmas Tree Skirt created with decorative ribbon, fabric and a hot glue gun. Easy and fast to create with absolutely no sewing. I’ve been seeing so many cute Christmas Tree Skirts everywhere, I even featured The Crafty Blog Stalker’s No Sew Ruffle Tree Skirt a few weeks ago on From Dream To Reality. Our Christmas tree is going to be very bright this year and so I figured it will need a new tree skirt that will fit the new colors. I was searching for fabric to make my own, however no luck finding what I wanted. One [...]
