Handmade Christmas Trees

[@jennifermcguireink]

Hi friends!!! Someone mentioned that they wished I would have done this video earlier. I apologize for not doing so. I didn't intend to turn it into a video... it was just a craft I was doing with my daughter for teacher gifts. But when I shared them in my Instagram stories, folks asked for a video so I did it quickly. I do know Concord and 9th ships fast. Anyway... there is next year too! :) Hugs to all. (

[@vickiedanby9574]

Can’t wait to do these next year with my little grandsons. They love crafting and will be so excited. Thanks for sharing this video Jennifer and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year. 🎄

[@jomorgan48]

They will be so useful during the year as well. The boughs are very versatile.

[@kellylaher7512]

Pht! Next year will zoom around soo fast!! Besides I plan on making some as soon as I get them regardless of Christmas. I just adore them!!!

[@lowcarberista9861]

Thanks for posting this vid ! No matter when it went up. After the holidays have quieted down I’ll have plenty of time to get these all made and be ready for Christmas next year. 🎄🎄🎄Your craftiness brightens my world, Jenn!✂️⭐️👍🏻

[@kristenfenner8321]

Head start on next year, thanks for posting!!!

[@pmynatt11]

My 9-1/2 year old granddaughter was with me today, and we watched your video. We both love your trees, and she wanted to make one, but we didn’t have the dies, so now I am going to have to order them. She is very creative - and made a tree of her own design with a paper cone she made and covered it with real cotton from a cotton stalk I had. She isn’t quite finished yet - she still needs the star, but she will make that when she is back on Thursday. She was so proud of her tree.

[@emilasmith4279]

Oh my gosh! These are adorable! Perhaps try the mini pearl strands as garland. Or the ribbon that came out a few years ago that looks like miniature garland. Larger beads with a couple gold sequins on top could look like ornaments. Would be darling to decorate child’s Barbie doll house! Thanks for sweet easy project!!! Oh those mini mini jingle bells would be adorable as well!

[@sherry8105]

I don't have a die cutting machine but now I really want one. these trees are FANTASTIC!! love it love it

Fairy lights would be adorable on these

[@lizziedae91]

Gosh i have got to stop leaving comments part way through a video lol

It would be fun to string the little pom-poms together and make a garland that way. Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@dianacathan1038]

Wow, that was unexpected, but they look so nice, and fun to make.

[@karenwadwell6007]

LOVED the white tree with rainbow decorations ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🎅

[@inkyfeet12]

Love your card/artsy tips and techniques videos -- and really liking these dies. The tree looks great and doesn't even have to be "holiday"-theme related. Thanks for sharing your and Lila's crafty tree. How lovely you and she get to share together.

[@gigijordan6888]

Theses are great! Your directions are so clear and easy to follow Thanks!

[@ginaware6117]

I decorated my crafted trees with pearls that I dyed using different color Tim Holtz alcohol inks. They turned out beautiful!

[@leeminer1939]

Such cute trees and I really love the soft colors of the demo'ed one with the silvery-sagey felt. Fun project to do with a child. You're always thinkin', Jennifer. And lucky for us, you're always sharing, as well. Thank you.

[@kerriegood1046]

What an amazing craft. And how lucky are we that you located everything we need. Thanks- super fun and surprising.

[@theresesprinkle2103]

Thank you for showing us a cool way to make trees. Love it.

[@XayideMLP]

Those are really cool dies. I like the felt too. I haven't seen felt that thin before.

[@janesprando3638]

Jennifer, these are adorable! I am SO glad you decided to do a video! Thanks!

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

Very cool. If you have a wood burning iron, you can use it to write the food and from namers along with the year. You can also use an alcohol marker like a Sharpie but I would t advise using your good markers, like Copics because unless the wood is very smooth, you could damage the tips.

[@Cards4Cancer]

What amazing gifts to give, especially from Lila. These are just precious

[@teresaolmsted1672]

Thanks for sharing Jennifer! You are an endless source of inspiration and kindness. ♥️👼🏻
