Wooden Christmas Tree DIY

I have had this on my crafting to do list for a long time! Every time I'm looking through Pinterest at Christmas DIY projects this comes up. I wanted to do a pallet Christmas tree but I realized that it would be easier to just go to Lowes and have them cut it for me. I came up with measurements for small trees and liked how they turned out. I made 7 trees total 1 has 5 layers and the rest have 4. Below are measurements.

30" 7 pieces

20" 1 piece

15" 7 pieces 

10.5" 7 pieces 

8" 7 pieces

5.5" 7 pieces 

Here I put out all the wood by size.

I used butcher paper to stain the wood on. The stain I got was dark which was perfect because I only had to do one layer. 

I let everything sit out and dry for a few hours.

Once it was all dry I got to work hammering these trees together. The wood I got was 2" thick so I bought 3" nails. The finished product turned out amazing!

DIY Chalkboard Wine Glass Gift

Every year my family goes all out for Craftmas. Yes you read that correctly we craft hard! One of the easier gifts I wanted to make were cute chalkboard wine glasses. I wanted to make them like the nail kit mason jars but in a wine glass. They were super easy to make and everyone loves chalkboard paint right?

Supplies:

Wine glasses

Chalkboard paint

Painters tape 

Sponge brush

Start by taping the glasses where the stem meets the bottom. Paint a layer of chalkboard paint and let dry completely. I did two coats to make sure there weren't any streaks. Wait till the paint is completely dry before removing the tape. Fill with whatever treats you want and write your gift recipients name in chalk!
