DIY Present Toppers

Sometimes I see things on Pinterest that just stop me in my tracks.  Especially tantalizing are projects that are simple yet beautiful.  So when I saw these little present toppers (original source found here) I just knew that, no matter how busy I was this holiday season, I would be making some of my own.

Now I loved her little animals, but I wasn't able to find any moose or reindeer figurines.  I was, however, able to find some Christmas trees (at Michael's) and I thought those would do quite nicely.




It was really just a matter of hot gluing the trees to some clothespins and then spray painting them silver.




How cute is that?!

  4. If you can't find little animals figures like you originally wanted, you should check out any hobby store that sells model railroad stuff. They usually have all sorts of trees, animals, cars, etc. that train enthusiasts use to make their railroad layouts more realistic.
