A Personal Note from Janine
The holidays are always packed full of crafts, decorating, and creative energy. As a child, I loved making things during this time of year—it was one of my favorite parts of the season. That joy of creating has stayed with me, and this month, I found myself deep in planning mode for a new tabletop Christmas tree design. For weeks, I obsessed over ideas, started projects, and scrapped them just as quickly.
Finally, after many false starts, I decided to rummage through my craft closet for inspiration. That’s when I stumbled upon a stash of white cupcake liners—so many that I couldn’t help but laugh. Then it hit me—why not turn them into festive little trees? With the help of my husband, who always brings his creative spark to my projects, we designed these fun and whimsical trees that are as simple as they are charming.
I love how they turned out and hope you’ll give them a try. Chances are, you already have most of the supplies on hand, so you can whip these up in no time—maybe even this week! They’re a great way to add a handmade touch to your holiday décor.
Happy crafting, and may your holidays be filled with creativity and joy!
Cheers,
