Are you ready for another My Creative Time 12 Days of Christmas post? Today I have a fun tree decorated with lots of My Creative Time goodies! I found this cute burlap tree at Michael's. It had a rather sad red satin ribbon tied around the burlap, so the first thing I did was switch that out with some pretty Stampin' Up ribbon!
I made the JOY banner using the MCT Build a Banner Kit and stamped the letters with MCT's Circle Font. After tying buttons to the ends, I just tied the banner to the branches. The red is a much prettier red in person, but I was having a really hard time getting a good picture!
I made a few really cute ornaments with the dies from MCT's Warm Holiday Fun. To make them, I cut the shape four times, and scored each one down the center. I then adhered them together to give it a 3-D effect. Before adhering the last one, I added a little loop of red hemp from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique.
This little ornament was made by adhering two of the star shapes from Build a Banner back to back, with a little baker's twine in between. More twine on a red button finished it off!

What a lovely transformation from the "[tree] that was left behind"! It will be beautiful to bring out year after year or to transform it again, if the mood strikes!
