Paper tree for space solution

 

December!!!!  I am having a hard time recalling my life from September to now.  So many things happened to my family this year.  In the mean time, my boy is constantly growing healthily.   We are growing out of this tiny Japanese apartment.  I didn't want to give up a tree, but where can I put it in this mess? So I decided to be creative this year and use paper trick. That way, we can have a big tree in the house.  One great thing is that it would be a great art project to work on for my son.   I put up a foundation today, and I am planning on adding our handmade paper ornaments this week. 

Pipe Cleaner Crafts: Christmas Ornaments 2013

I remember that I had so much fun making Christmas ornaments out of pipe cleaners.  That was three years ago when I was pregnant and had plenty of free time.  I posted the results on my previous blog, Gazillion Crayons.

I thought it would be fun to make some ornaments with my baby this year.  It turned out that my son was not really ready for it yet, but I had great time wandering into the world of imagination.  Something about the process of bending and twisting the pipe cleaners....it is addictive and therapeutic. 

These are the ones I made in 2010,

 

 

 I took pictures of my new work with some old ones.

 

 

 

I made so many of these. Now the question is where to put them? :-)
