GUEST POST SUNDAY

Meet Tia Dickerson

The amazingly creative & beautiful lady behind, 

A Cup of T

Where you can find tons of DIYS & recipes.

I'm dying to try this recipe, Healthy Holiday Bites! 

What an awesome idea for holiday hors d'oeuvres! 

Hello! I am Tia from A cup of T.  
I am delighted to be posting a holiday DIY for you here on Threadesque!  
Today I will be showing you how to make a yarn wrapped Christmas tree. 
Let’s get started…

You will need:  Styrofoam cone, yarn, straight pins, hot glue gun, scissors

Optional items: Small doily, buttons, embroidery thread or anything you would like to embellish your tree with.

Step 1: Pin end of yarn at the top of cone

Step 2: Cover top of cone with hot glue and spiral yarn around the top

Step 3: Continue to warp the cone until you reach the very bottom

Step 4: Pin yarn at the bottom

Time to embellish, let’s see...lets add a tree skirt & tree topper! 

I used a vintage clip on earrings attached with a dab of hot glue

To finish up lets add some garland to the tree using straight pins and thick embroidery thread

Last but not least, display your purty little tree!

Happy Creating!

Love, T

Hi lovely people! 

I am really happy to be guest posting on threadesque again! 

Today I want to share a little and cute idea for christmas with you. 

Who doesn't love penguins? 

You need:

1. Paint 

2. Planter 

3. Paint brushes 

1. Start painting your planter with the color of your penguin.

2. Paint the penguin's eyes with a darker paint.

3. Paint the little beak (I recommend doing it a bit higher than the eyes so it looks even cuter)

4. Paint his little belly and the wings (try to add some volume by adding dome white paint while it is wet) 

5. You can choose any color you want... just have fun!! 

6. The only thing that we have to do next is ad a plant to our planter! (I am still in that step) 

7. Enjoy your penguin and water your plant so it grows in a lovely way.

8. Leave a comment! Let us know if you liked this DIY (: 

I really hope you like it guys! 

Thank you Sam, for letting me be a 

small part of your lovely blog! 

I wish you a Merry Christmas

DIY Easy Christmas Garland

C H R I S T M A S 

D I Y

Here's a super easy, inexpensive, DIY Christmas garland 

that I made to go behind our tree! 

This will cost only $2 total 

& take roughly 5 minutes to create!

Do you have any fun DIY projects that you've 

been working on? Please tell! :)

-Holiday ribbon 

(I used Celebrate It from Michaels, $1)

-Glitter snowflakes

(Target, $1 for 6)

-Hot glue 

Unravel ribbon.. yes that's it!

Thread ribbon through snowflake strings 

(the snowflakes came with the string attached 

already, MAJOR TIME SAVER!)

Separate around 12 inches apart & glue in place!

Finished! 

wow.. that's the simplest DIY, ever! 

I hope you all have a wonderful time creating 

and setting up your Christmas decor!
