RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I am big into spending some time doing crafts with family. Ideally for me it’s got some recycling. I’ll be making cardboard houses this year, some paper chains and likely I’ll make some candle holders from clay.

What your craft project to escape the big world this year guys?

Wreath is generic, made of tree branches. Then I went to dollarama and got 6 poinsettias, couple large pine cones, some lights, and some white decorations. And put it all together.

I made two more 2x4 trees today. These ones are about 36 inches.

Are you leaving them plain wood or painting or decorating them. They make a good option for an outside tree really.

I am going to paint them, put some dollar store decorations (like trees or a bird on one side) and put them outside :).

We already have snow so I'm hoping the wooden decorations don't get destroyed as quickly. We bought deer with lights before but it was destroyed in one or two winters with the amount of snow we had.

Definitely post up your decorations once you're done! Maybe in a picture community. :)
