    Last year in Florida, a man was behind me in line. He remarked, “Oh my gosh! That Christmas tree is $1.00?” I told the cashier to ring up another one and gave it to him. He was so startled that someone would buy him a Christmas tree….I felt so humble that I made this man’s day to feel the spirit of Christmas !! Make someone happy every day.

    Love the lighted box “presents” with dowels and the last center piece with floral picks. I think using the crates is genius as they have the “handle”holes on the sides to make it easy positioning the floral picks.( have never thought of that nor seen it before). Such creativity. 🥰

    This young lady, simply, blows my mind, with her ability to take these simple things and make, for lack of a better word, make 'things'. The same as a musician will see scribbles on paper, yet the musician sees & hear sees music. An artist, sees color, we, on the other hand, see paint. Fantastic !!

    As usual, these crafts are all super cute! My mom wanted some gift boxes like these, but she didn't get them because they were rather expensive. I'm considering making her some, but I wonder if the cats would claw right through them. It looks like fabric they would love to get their claws on. Lol

    @AnnaAliciaTx 2 роки тому +6

    Beautiful Katelyn! Especially the last two. I've always loved the light up boxes for outside but think they are way too expensive to buy but now with your ideas I would like to get creative and figure out an inexpensive way to make some on a larger scale to make for outdoors that won't blow away if it gets windy. 🤔 Thank you! 💜

    • @DawnDavidson
      @DawnDavidson 2 роки тому

      Yes, I think if you used some metal rods and wires then wired them together, it should work. I’ve seen other DIYs that used lightweight dollar tree type cutting boards or other plastic for the sides, which might stand up to the weather better than fabric, but that would depend on your fabric. I’d be worried about the hot glue outdoors, since others have mentioned that it’s not always good in either extreme cold or hot. No matter what you made the box out of though, you might want to stake it down with the metal hooks that are used for Christmas trees or outdoor tents. Don’t want them to blow away, as you mentioned!

    • @DawnDavidson
      @DawnDavidson 2 роки тому

      Thinking on it further, you might be able to use some of those collapsible wire frame storage cubbies for your frame. It would give your package a checked pattern when lit up, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing! If you happen to have some of those around already, it would make them easier to store, for sure!
