My First Craft Blog Post! It’s a Gingerbread Christmas!

It’s almost Christmas, my favorite time of the year.  This year I decided to have a “Cookie Chrismas Tree”. I have collected cookie ornaments for years, but I wanted to have some homemade ones, so I started looking for sugar cookie and gingerbread crafts to make.  I bought some craft kits from Oriental Trading (one of my favorite on-line stores) & put my own spin on them and found several great craft ideas both in the stores and on-line.  Here are photos of my tree.  I will be posting directions for the one I made and will also share the urls’ of the ones I found on-line.

 

Over the year I have collected lots of gingerbread ornaments, but this is the first year there has been enough for a sugar coma on the tree! I wired candy cane floral picks to candy cane ribbon bows.  The snowman ornament is a homemade cookie cutter ornament. Christmas Sweet Christmas! For a topper I simply wired a gingerbread plushie to the top of the tree. In the lower right is one of my handmade cupcake ornaments. Christmas cookies on a copper cookie sheet. See the glass gingerbread boy?  He actually got broke and I glued on the gumdrop minis to hid the broken area. I "made" the gingerbread ornaments from a kit but I added the button touches myself. Can you believe I found this Lucy holding gingerbread men? Another Copper Cookie Sheet Ornament. What tree isn't complete without it's "Gingerbread Peacock"?  Ok - so he isn't gingerbread!!! The gingerbread girl is a stuffed paper sack ornament made using leftover wrapping paper. In the center of the photo is a Fabric Wrapped Grapevine Wreath topped with a gingerbread button. Another Fabric Wrapped Mini Wreath and a view of my new gingerbread tree skirt! The snowman is an inexpensive dollar store ornament bought last year that I dressed up with some glitter to resemble frosting and a snowman Christmas cookie mini ornament and cutter. This is my non-gingerbread memento ornament for my mother.  She died of breast cancer several years ago.
