I am in full holiday fun mode at the studio and excited to share this years craft room sweet and crafty dream tree. Every year Michaels challenges makers to create a dream tree and this year I am sharing mine live on my weekly Michaels Facebook page along with a few do it yourself projects that helped me make this sweet tree.
Below I also listed links to all everything I used in this email so you can shop your favorites!
I loved all the holiday decorations so much I decked out the rest of the craft room with festive and colorful Christmas decorations! All the decorations and trees you see here are available.
I also included step by step instructions for each of three projects I shared!
