Crafty tip for the month

Just in time for the Winter Solstice! Here is how to make your own Holiday tree at the last minute
you will need:
    Cardboard...from a large box
    pencil and or marker
    some paint- white of black -with round bristle brush
    a string of Xmas lights
    a blade, like an Xacto knife or box cutter
    an electrical outlet
Steps:
1. Draw in pencil the largest shapes you can, and once you are satisfied with it, go over with marker or black and white paint.
2. Cut out the negativity, I mean the empty spaces.
3. Poke holes in the back where you want the lights to shine through with your knife. Don't make them too big, or the lights wont have that snug fit. A slit is enough.
4. Poke the lights through each slit.
5. Plug into outlet and shine on!!
