3. Once everything is dry, string them up one by one onto your red ribbon and hang it up on your mantle.

What did you think about all of these projects? In case you haven’t noticed, our theme for this Christmas is buffalo plaid and we are in love. We have buffalo plaid thrown all around the house, and it all looks amazing. I loved making these three Christmas tree craft ideas that really complimented the theme. We’ve got three more DIY Cricut projects for you to finish off your perfect top to bottom Christmas tree, stay tuned for the final post!
