Sharing Sunday..

My Recent Craft shares...
Fabric Christmas tree:
Items needed Some sort of cone either cardboard or Styrofoam cone.
2 Quarters of Fabric of your choice.
Hot Glue gun or Fabric Glue
Scissors, Ruler.
Now I got the idea from JoAnn Fabrics but I did not follow it. I saw the pic and then I went my own way.
I purchased a hard cardboard cone for the base of the tree, I purchased two Quarter Yards of Fabric that I thought contrasted well, a light and dark work best.
I then made slits in the fabric length wise every 1 inch.
After making the cuts I then tore the fabric with my hands to get the frayed effect.
After tearing the fabric I then cut each strip in half. I pulled the strings from the fabric to make it even more frayed.
I then warmed up my hot glue gun.
I folded the pieces of fabric in half the folded half is glued to the cone, I measured about a half of a thumb up from the bottom.
I alternated every other one all the way around.
That gave me my base and I worked my way up from there.
At the very top I used one piece of fabric cut to fit, folded and then glued around the tip.
To fluff I turned the tree upside down and shook the fabric, with help of my hands I made sure all pieces were pushed to fly out then by shaking it side to side I fluffed it for a couple mins.
I am debating spraying it with starch, and possibly using my curling iron after sprayed with starch to curl the ends up.

Thrifty Thursday...

So first off let me say, I am obsessed with coupons. So every Sunday I buy 3 news papers, Dallas, Killeen and Austin. So essentially I get not only Triple the coupons, but different ones from each city. So if you live by another city or can get your hands on another cities paper, DO IT!!! I promise it is worth it. So I spend 6 dollars in papers and i get more than double the savings. I also scan the ad's specifically for walgreens, Target and HEB (you may have other grocery stores to choose from in your area) Target had some great specials on some items I needed for Thanksgiving Dinner. So with the coupons I clipped in the paper and the savings at Target I saved over $15.00 on the items I purchased, like green beans, Campbell soup, glade candles, and dog food. Now a couple of the coupons I used I printed from couponbug.com awesome site for selecting the coupons you want and then printing them, the great thing about the site is, it asks for your zip code, I put in several of those in different states, like Denver and Back home in MT. I find lots of buy 2 get 1 free and those I love the most. :)

I then pulled out my coupon for a Free 32 oz Iced Tea from Bush's Chicken!! Love FREE Things!!!!
