Party Accessories

This winter season I am crafting up a storm.  And if you have seen my house during Christmas time, you would be asking WHY because I have a ton of decorations.  But this year it's not for me, it's for our church Christmas Party.
The women I work with at church in Primary were asked to put on the traditional dinner and program.  And you know me, I like to craft and tell people what to do, so it's a great fit for me!
This year we are sticking to everything red & white for the decorations.  I found a great blog on how to make this easy-peasy trees with poster board and scrap fabric sewed into ruffles.  It was really fun to make and I love the results.
And if you can keep a secret and promise not to tell anyone who goes to my ward at church...shshshshs...the red fabric is made from my pj bottoms!!  They became so thin in the butt that I have sewed them shut 4 times.  I finally gave up and donated them to my fabric bin.  The ribbon is also the drawstrings from those pants.
Go figure!!
I made these trees specifically for the dessert table.  We can't have a white table cloth with desserts just sitting there all plain looking.  We needed height and color.  I think these trees will be perfect.
