This year, I was reminded of a fun day we had at a local skate and game place.That brought me to come up with making a felt shoe. The wheels are sewing machine bobbins and each is decorated with felt holly and greenery. I always tag them with the date and name.I hope...

Songbook Page Christmas Tree
I have a wreath that I made using rolled music book pages...And thought, "Hey why not make another shape out of the same rolled up pages".Plus, I wanted to show you early enough so that you could make one for Christmas if you so felt the desire! I started with a clear plastic cone shape like this, but you can use any cone made out of different material like heavy card stock...&nb...
