Dear Crap I've Made. I love you.

So I spend a lot of time scanning around other peoples' blogs to see their designs and ideas. Many times I will look at everyone's favorite things and this is how I came to Crap I've Made. The first thing that got me was the sweet name. Let's face it, we all make a ton of crap. Myself included. But then... I spotted it... the crap that I have been frothing over in the Pottery Barn catalog.. the Peace Sign Christmas Tree. Ah, yes I wanted it bad. Alas, I am thrifty, frugal, cheap.(Whatever you want to call it.) Needless to say, I signed on as a follower of the blog and set right to work on the prep work to prepare the goods.

Crap I've Made has an awesome tutorial, so I will not re-invent the wheel. We dumped glitter in a container and put the glued-up ornament in and shook it around, rather than sprinkle. We are going to attach ours to some funky garland that was purchased at the dollar store. We also used the Sizzix machine to cut out the word "peace" from the scraps. We had to use the small templates, so we will see how they turn out.
