Craft Time...


I found the idea for Craft #5 on Pinterest, of course.

They used copper and steel wire and wrapped it around cone shaped Styrofoam and made Christmas trees.
Why can't I think of simple things like this?

Anyhow, I liked how they looked but knew that copper wire was pretty pricey and it was a little too shiny for my taste.  I wanted something a little more rustic.

Can you guess what I used??


Baling wire.
Yep!  You read that right!  I know it sounds kind of "redneckish", but it was rusty and I didn't have to buy it.  We have a lot on hand at the farm.


Brad was biting his lip the whole time eager to help with this project....
All you do is wrap the wire around the cone.

I chose to make  have Brad make various sizes...



 Voila...
Only one more craft to go in the Christmas Craft Time Marathon!
Hold on to your britches....;0)

  1. Love these. I pinned them too but I don't have Brad to make them for me...do you loan him out? Just for crafting purposes (and maybe some light bulb changes), of course!
