[@user-pv1lp3wz7j]

Love these lanterns

[@glamperjan]

Love the Christmas Tree!!

[@user-kd3zk5rw8t]

Never used a circuit before

[@valdaritter8159]

That was so cool.... the LED made it look like a candle flickering. You and your team make great designs.

[@annavittonrosler1521]

I love that these are customizable and no glue needed. I can cut these out and just put them together.

[@bridgiebee82]

I love that I wont have to use glue! I'm new to the craft world after years of avoiding crafts. I can't wait to make these!

[@user-if2xx3hp1e]

I made a forest of trees for my grandkids. I used the blanket tree and welded in the word JOY, because that’s what I feel when I see them.

[@camillenorris3593]

Jennifer, I am humbled by both your talent and generosity. This is an amazing project and I thank you for providing it to us!

[@JenniferMaker]

Any time!

[@BarbaraPlattBarbarasBeat]

I thought this would be too hard to make, so intricate, but your step by step instructions make it easy.

[@starangelstar1889]

Love that you don't need glue. This is perfect for my students.

[@kathleendandilly8986]

HI Everyone from Australia

[@marwahaneha]

I love that the product is simple with limited supplies that we find at our home.

[@trishwaters7427]

This is a great project to do with my 7 year old granddaughter. She loves my Cricut. Thank you Jennifer.

[@gailknoll2439]

Making large and small trees for a table centerpiece. It should look so pretty.

[@cathyrandolph7135]

Right after I watched this video the first time, I immediately ordered the lights to put in these trees. This is one of my favorite projects this year.

[@lynndesroche1091]

How beautiful!! I love that you don't even need glue to keep it all together.

[@katharinealley8657]

I like that these go together without glue

[@1215mdpc]

I have to make these for the ladies in the office at my church. I know my daughter is going to love this! thank you so much!

[@pattycreel2090]

I love that there are completed designs but also can be customized when I want.

[@suzanneniemeier9899]

I don't know how you come up with these but thankful you do. So many ideas!!!

[@staceydavidson-gaither1933]

It is amazing how much easier it makes it trying to complete a project when we have someone such as yourself to watch and not just instructions. it makes it even better that you realize we all make mistakes and you highlight yours even on video but you will also show us what we can learn from them. I’ve noticed that watching so many of your videos. my grandson will be able to make these Christmas tree lanterns with me and it will be a great project for us to do together. I am working on helping him with his fine motor skills development. He is autistic, and why he is verbal, in fact, very verbal and very highly functioning. There are still many things that are common with those on a spectrum that he experiences and find motor skills are one of those. he likes you Jennifer because he says it’s so cute how you dress up that you always look like Mrs. Claus even when it’s not Christmas! 😊 I thought that was so sweet. I said well what besides her outfits remind you of Mrs. Claus maybe it’s just because she was wearing red and you’re thinking about that right now he said, “no, MaeMae, it’s not just that, but she is always giving gifts!” I truly nailed it with that statement. They say the most honest things come from the mouths of babes…. Even when they’re not good., lol! Thankfully, this one was very sweet!

[@JenniferMaker]

Awww... you know, when I put my apron on the first time years ago and asked my daughter what she thought (she was 14 or 15 at the time), she said I looked like Mrs. Claus, too! Isn't that funny? I'm happy to hear your grandson likes our videos. My daughter and I are also on the spectrum, and while there's so much for us to learn that may come naturally to others, we also have so many gifts, too!

[@user-Grammy-2]

I love how they are not glued together and can be carefully taken apart and stored flat, like your pumpkin lanterns. thanks for the designs!

[@marmartin957]

I love all the customizing you can do with this holiday design

[@Superpsychandie]

My mother-in-law gifted me a cricut joy for Christmas last year and I loved it so much that she decided to give me her old cricut maker and this was the first project I made on it! Thank you so much for all of your amazing projects and easy to follow video tutorials!
