71 Genius NEW Christmas Hacks you need to try! (you won't believe #34)

Hello friends and welcome back today I have our 70 Christmas hacks to share with you to make your holiday season even easier so for our first hacks we're starting with Christmas tree hacks cuz if you're like me Christmas trees is the first thing that I usually tackle my first hack is to consider raising your Christmas tree up off the ground a little bit now in the first example I'm showing you is a real tree that I got at a Christmas tree farm often it is hard to find the exact right height of a Christmas tree so I'm actually taking ours and I'm putting it up on on this wooden crate you could use literally anything then I'm just going to put my tree stand on top of that and cover it in a tree skirt and this is going to lift the tree up off the ground and not just give it more height but give me more room for putting Christmas presents underneath the tree which is so brilliant and you can obviously do this with um fake trees as well I did my fake tree last year with just these old paint cans I even used some hot glue to like make sure that it was not going anywhere this was totally safe and secure for the entire Christmas season but it just lifted my tree up off of the ground a little bit to give the tree more height now let's talk about some Christmas light hacks in general with Christmas tree lights more lights is better more is more when it comes to lights a general rule of thumb is to do 100 lights for every 1T of height of your Christmas tree but I find even doing more than that is even more magical and to really up the ante consider putting some of the jumbo clear bulbs mixed in with your regular bulbs to give a really twinkly mat iCal look to your Christmas tree I even add extra lights to my prelit tree to make it twinkle more um okay do you guys know about ornament anchors these are so smart for keeping your important ornaments safe if you have curious pets if you have kids with little hands and you've always worried about them breaking your special ornaments basically you're going to replace like the ribbon or the ornament hook on your special ornaments with the ornament anchor and then what happens is just like a bungee thing on here and you're just going to pull to secure it onto the branch that you hang it onto your tree and it's going to prevent this ornament from falling off of the tree and help save some of your very important ornaments these will be linked in the description when it comes to Hanging Garland on your Christmas tree get some ornament hooks this will just allow you to hang your Garland more evenly so that you can really sort of get the nice swag look that you want and hang them much more precisely if you want to put ribbon into your Christmas tree instead of just taking an entire spool and like wrapping it around your tree you're going to want to cut cut about 3ft strips then you going to take one end of the strip and tuck it into your tree and then you're going to take about the middle section of that ribbon and Tuck that into the tree and then you're going to take the end piece and Tuck that in and then you can take your next piece and sort of make it look like it's coming out from the next section this is going to make it look like the ribbon is just really naturally weaving through your tree as opposed to if you try to wrap it yourself it's going to look more like you kind of did a bad Halloween mummy costume on your tree another thing I love adding to trees is some seasonal piics I got these ones for a couple dollars at Target you can get them all over the place I just think it adds a lot of movement and shape to your tree especially for somebody who is using a fake tree the thing about fake trees is sometimes they're just too perfect looking and I love how this adds a little bit of extra shape and dimension to your Christmas tree it can also help bring together a color scheme if you're doing a general color scheme on your tree okay a Christmas tree hack that I love if you have little ones is to take two or three larger boxes weigh them down with like some heavy books and then wrap them to look like presents and then you can sort of put these around your Christmas tree this also works for pets but essentially is going to prevent your child from like getting to the tree constantly and pulling all of the ornaments off okay I'm going to share a really easy DIY tree collar this work Works especially great if you're going to lift your tree up like I showed you earlier in this video and you could just use some old cardboard which you probably have hanging around because you're getting all of your Christmas Christmas presents delivered so you're just going to cut four pieces of cardboard just big enough to go around your Christmas tree so my Christmas tree was 27 in from like leg to leg and so I cut pieces of cardboard that were like 27 and 1/2 in but basically I just glued these four pieces together into a square and then using hot glue and some burlap fabric I'm going to cover the entire thing in the [Music] burlap and once this is dried you have a really simple easy tree color that you can wrap around your tree again super great if you've lifted your tree up and this cost me literally like $2 to make next tack I'm going to show you how to make these glitter bulbs for so affordable and so easy and I love this cuz you can customize it for whatever colors you want so you need some clear bulbs I get mine from the Dollar Tree you can get like two for $125 and then an assortment of glitter and whatever colors you want then you're going to use a little bit of like the floor like mop and glow stuff you put a tiny squirt inside of your ornament put some glitter in and then you just shake it all around and it's going to make it stick to the outsides of the ornament and I am telling you I have had these same ones of these for literally years and the glitter is still sticking to the side I don't know how it works but it's amazing next hack for a really affordable tree skirt is just go to like Joan Fabric or craft store and get a couple yards of faux fur you can do this when they're doing like 50% off of their cuts of fabric and it makes a really cheap tree [Music] skirt all right we're moving along to some wrapping hacks to make wrapping your presents easier this year my first hack is if you end up with a piece of paper that you have cut wrapping paper you cut and it is too short and you you think you can't wrap your present you actually can by just twisting it the way to confirm if this is going to work is if you can pull a corner from either side and it covers all four corners of whatever you're trying to wrap you can wrap this um with a sheet of paper you start with the corner closest to you and then the next side over you basically you're just going to fold that in so that you can pull that corner up and I secure it with a piece of tape and then I do the other side and then you're going to do the final corner by sort of tucking in each side and then you can basically just fold it over and you will see that now you've taken a piece of wrapping paper that looked like it was not big enough to wrap your book or a present or whatever and you were able to wrap the entire thing you can actually use the same general method to wrap a present with actually no tape at all so this time actually when you go to wrap you're just going to make sure the two outer Corners are exposed and then you're going to start from the opposite side and then you're going to fold the same way that we folded when we were doing the hack before when you didn't have enough wrapping paper but this time when you get to the very end you're just going to take that excess bit and now you're going to be able to fold it in into the pocket that you sort of created here so I'm going to show you again I know it goes kind of fast but basically you're using the same basic method to wrap and then at the end you're just going to take the excess fold it over and then you can tuck it into this little pocket and you don't need any tape all right here's another hack uhoh you have an awkward shaped item you don't have any more gift bags you could just use your wrapping paper to make a gift bag so you're going to fold it into basically a rectangle and tape it into place then you're going to fold up and you can press that down into sort of like this little triangle shape I will show you this one again don't worry um and then you fold those Corners in and it creates a base for the bottom and makes your wrapping paper into a little [Music] bag another wrapping paper hack I love for like the main people in your life is I have started doing a single kind of wrapping paper per person so each person in my family gets their own wrapping paper it just makes it so much easier I don't have to worry about doing name labels um and it's just easier for everybody to like see which presents are theirs I don't know it's just a little hack that has worked really well for me and so I'm sharing it with you another wrapping hack that I love to share is always keep a roll of just Brown craft paper around cuz if you run out of wrapping paper or whatever you can use this in a pinch to wrap up some last minute presents and you can Jazz them up to make them look cute with like ribbons or whatever um but I always have at least a roll or two of brown craft paper around for last minute wrapping next up you got to get these wrapping Clips they clip your wrapping paper onto your table and they have builtin tape dispenser I'm telling you their total game Cher for wrapping all your presents really fast in a pinch when it comes to saving a little money on your wrapping stuff I love the Dollar Tree not necessarily for their wrapping paper cuz I don't love their wrapping paper personally but gift bags is where it is at they have gift bags in literally every shape and size really huge ones really little ones at the most affordable prices you can also get gift boxes there great for um gifting gift certificates and gift cards they have great bow options they also have like name tags and ribbons and basket fillers basically all the stuff you would need they also have these amazing gift basket um cellophane like shrink wrap things these are so amazing if you gifting gift baskets for the holiday you basically make your gift bag you put this on and then it shrink wraps with the heat of a blow dryer makes it literally look like a professional gift basket these are so so great and they even come with a bow built in all right last but not least never underestimate just a big roll of white paper and let your kid color it especially if your gift and presents to grandparents or like your kids friends this one saves me in a pinch a lot too let your kids have at it you could even get them Christmas col Christmas stickers or whatever and you got some nice free wrapping paper to use for like Grandma and Grandpa's Christmas present moving on to Christmas to core hacks one of my favorite things to get for Christmas time is Twinkle lights that are on a battery pack and you specifically want to get ones that come on timers so I have a bunch of these ones that I got from Walmart I will also link some of my favorite packs below if you are doing any garlands you're doing little outside trees or you're doing wreath these battery pack ones are the way to go because one you don't have to worry about finding an outlet for them to plug into and two they come with built-in timers so I set mine to turn on at like 4:00 and then they turn off again at maybe 10: or 11: so all of my Christmas lights just turn on on their own and I don't have to worry about getting it all scheduled in okay we're in my sens room we're going like Vlog Style on my phone um but I have this little Christmas tree that he decorated and we have it hung up hung up we have it set up in his room there's literally not an outlet anywhere near here that I could plug this into unless I want to go like around his bed which obviously wouldn't be very safe so these things are going to be a total Lifesaver I got this set of 100 I'm just going to be able to throw some batteries in here I can even set it on a timer so that his tree will light up but I don't have to worry about wrangling Outlets also if you don't have remote outlets for your Christmas tree and any other Christmas lights that you plug in now is the time to get them they are super easy they just go into an outlet and you can set them to be on a timer some of them are on remotes as well but I highly suggest the timer ones cuz then you don't even have to think about it they will turn on for you at one time of the day and then turn off for you at another okay random product to share with you but this charging cable looks like Christmas lights and I just think it is so darn cute to charge your different devices during the Christmas season and a bonus is when you're not using using it instead of it just laying out looking like an ugly charging cable you can actually hang it up and use it as Decor next I'm going to teach you how to make these paper stars I had seen paper stars like this at Ikea and they were so pretty but they were sort of expensive and I realized that you can actually make them using paper bags for super super cheap so all you're going to do is take eight of these brown paper lunch bags and you going to glue them together um alternating whether the folded side is up or the folded side is down let these sit until they're completely dry and then you are basically just is going to cut the um top into a point and then you can really get creative with this you can do more of a Sharp Point more of a rounded point and then you can cut different little shapes out of the sides if you want you cannot mess these up they look so pretty no matter what you do you just open them up kind of like an accordion and they turn into these beautiful paper stars and I just hung these up with some fishing wire and I was able to recreate the look of the paper stars and do all of them for less than the cost of buying like a single paper star all right one hack I've done with Christmas wreaths for years now is actually repurpose my wreaths so this is the wreath that I had had for Thanksgiving um prior to this I actually was using the same exact one for Halloween and I just swap out the decor that's on it to make it into a uh Christmas wreath so I just have some picks I keep these away in Christmas storage I can get new bows if I need to or whatever and then I just take the wreath and I sort of upcycle it into Christmas and I love this cuz you're not forced to buy new wreath every single [Music] year last year I made orange Garland for the first time and it was so easy and I love this cuz you can store it in an airtight bag and keep it for years to come so you're going to start by just taking your um oranges and you're going to cut them fairly thin they don't have to be crazy thin um but you want them to be fairly thin you can do lemons and stuff too and then you're going to place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper bake them at 250° for 30 minutes and then flip them and then keep flipping them till they're dry it may take over an hour and then you can use ornament hooks to just hang these wherever I added them to an garland that I had hanging in my kitchen and I just think they're so pretty all right guys let's head to Ikea for a few little Ikea Christmas hacks I love Ikea for Christmas stuff and one of my favorite things to get there is actually Christmas trees not necessarily full-size Christmas trees like this one but they have tons of great smaller Mini Christmas trees which can be a really fun way to decorate around the house whether you're going to put them on a tabletop in your kids room they're all super great price points and then you can choose to upcycle them in different ways if you want if you want to put them into um like different um oh my God what's the word I'm looking for like different little pots and tins I got these pots and tins right at Ikea I used one in my kids playroom I used one on our dining room table and I just think there's such a great little Decor find from Ike Ika the other thing I love getting Ikea for Christmas is textiles you can things like throw pillow covers and throw blankets and I love this because you can literally just take the pillows that are on your sofa and just cover them in something a little bit seasonal and bring a little Decor into your house that way one of my best tips for Christmas decor is to consider swapping instead of adding so instead of adding Decor what can you swap and one of the best things to do is to swap out things like throws and pillows and Ikea has lots of great choices for that I also love this like little white sheep skin thing that they sell at Ikea I don't even know what it's called um but this is a great little throw to just decorate with for winter you can throw it over a bed you can throw it over an armchair you can throw it on the sofa and I think it's such a great Decor piece for the winter all right speaking of some Christmas throws here's how you can make oh my goodness that is a clip of Miles when he was a baby okay this is how you can make um your own Christmas throw for literally a couple of dollars you can get two yards of this micro fleece at Jo and fabrics or whatever and then you're going to cut it to the size of the blanket you want and then on two ends you're going to cut tassels I'm cutting maybe 2 or 3 inches up and then you're going to knot three tassels together and you have created your own little Christmas throw for just a couple of dollars and you can keep using this year after year if you have some mini Christmas trees that you're using let me share some easy hacks with you here's how to make your own uh tree collar I got this tub at the Dollar Tree and I'm cutting the handles off then I'm cutting a slit down the side cutting a hole in the top of it and this works perfectly as a little tree collar for any of your miniature Christmas trees and obviously you can use it just like this it actually you could like spray paint it silver and it looked like a galvanized tin but you can also Jazz this up I took some nautical thread that I had from Walmart and I'm just going to glue this all the way around my bin hot glue you know just saving lives everywhere and then this makes like the cutest looking basket Christmas tree collar for my mini Christmas tree I absolutely love this I've been using this color for like 3 years now I think I made it three Christmases ago um I just love the way that this looks on my mini Christmas tree and if that is too crafty for you just get yourself a basket already done already woven and you're just going to cut a hole in the top of it and then you can stick your Christmas tree in it this way I just went down like the center of it because you know most of them you can like remove the tree from the actual stand so put the tree down the center put the stand underneath and now you've created a little basket collor for your mini trees this mini Tree by the way is actually just from the Dollar Tree they're so [Music] affordable and talking about Dollar Trees and mini trees um the snow spray from the Dollar Tree it's top-notch for $125 I use this to flock all sorts of little Christmas trees I've used it to flock garlic land or whatever I find that it works really great you don't want to shake it too much and you're going to get that really great look of snow I don't know if you're looking for a really affordable way to flock any of your Garland or trees Dollar Tree snow can is where it's at I'm going to teach you how to make your own wreaths using some boxes that I know you have laying around so start by cutting out a circle in the shape of the wreath that you want and then you're going to cut the circle the center of the circle out and then you want to add a little bit of height to this to make it like you know some height to your for um wreath so I'm just hot gluing some extra pieces of cardboard on here then you want to paint this green so that you know you don't see cardboard peeking through and then you can just get any Garland I got this huge roll of Garland I think from Walmart for so cheap um you can get basic Garland for super super cheap and you're just going to wrap this all the way around your little crafty cardboard sensation I it took me like 12 to 15 ft of Garland and now you've created this adorable little mini wreath I use these on my kitchen I love about this you can literally make the wreath any size you want also if you don't know this hack for hanging wreaths the best way to do is to get a command hook hang out on the opposite side of the door that you want the wreath hanging you're going to hang the command hook um upside down and then you can use just any piece of ribbon to go over the top of the door you can do cabinet doors like this I've also just done like regular fulls siiz doors um and the wreath hang perfectly every time and then you just take the man hook down when you're done all right I love this hack for making some festive little candles so you can take any candle and then you're going to get any decorative tissue paper cut the tissue paper to the size of your candle and then using a blow dryer just going to gently warm your candle this is going to make it just a tiniest bit tacky you're going to wrap the tissue paper around and then go ahead and warm it again this is going to like secure it onto the candle and you essentially have created your own little custom Christmas candles I love this cuz there's so many cute seasonal tissue papers around and so now you can use them to upcycle your candles for like your tablescape putting on your mantle whatever love it I also love getting window window clings from either Walmart or the Dollar Tree cuz you can do so much fun stuff with this obviously kids love them stuck onto windows but you can use these clings to um decorate candle votives so you can stick them like onto the glass of different votives and create really cute little seasonal um candle votives this way also my best ha if you are trying to take a price tag off of something and it's not coming off just grab your blow dryer heat it up and I'm telling you it comes off every single time 99.9% of the time if I heat up a price tag with a blow dryer it's just it comes right off and you don't have any sticky residue at all and you're not doing any scraping or any of that Madness anyway static clings on to little plates work really great if you want to get decorative you can also use these on like wooden signs I got this plain wood inside when I was at the Dollar Tree and I had just painted it with some like um chalk paint you could even use like a wood stain and then I took some of the clings and I stuck them onto the wooden um sign to create my own little like custom Christmas sign one of my favorite hacks if you have fake Garland to make it look a little bit more robust is to mix a little bit of real um clippings in with your fake Garland so grab a bunch of fake clippings whether you cut them off from like Evergreens that you have outside or you can usually get them at Christmas Tree farms or wherever soak them overnight um in some water this is going to help them last all Christmas season long and then mix some of the real in with your fake Garland it's just a great little hack to make your fake Garland look better but also to make it more affordable that you don't have to do all real garland you mix some fake in with some real and you get the best of both worlds this time of year you can find all sorts of these like little Christmas village houses laying around I I you get them at the Dollar Tree for like $125 they're everywhere um a simple upcycle for them is actually just to paint them in white uh chalk paint and this just immediately gives them this like really nice sort of classic versatile look I feel like you can use them so many different ways like this if you don't like the way that they are colored I feel like just making them a solid color is always a great way to go they would look great out on a mantle they would look good um on bookshelves or whatever I created a wreath with one of mine I got this wreath at the Dollar Tree and then I had just glued the Little House onto the bottom and then using some cotton filling to look like snow and some of the little like fake houses that they have there I made it into like a little village and it's just a super cute little wreath another option is just to take these houses once they're painted white and to paint them to match your personal sort of color theme you know if you like doing more like Reds and greens or if you like doing something really colorful I'd seen this super colorful house and I was trying trying to recreate that sort of look and so I just used some colors from that and I painted the houses to these sort of like bright bold colors and stuck them into our tree just don't overlook the little houses because even if the way they look is not your style usually with the tiniest bit of paint you can make them work really well for you all right chugging right along we're just getting to some miscellaneous hacks how to make a simmer pot I love doing summer pots whenever I'm having company over this time year and they are so easy and they honestly make your house smell so good so just a pot with some water and you do not have to do like anything super specific in here throw some Citrus in if you have um lemons if you have oranges whatever and then whatever like aromatics you have if you have some cloves if you have nutmeg if you have a stick of cinnamon you can throw a rosemary sprig in you can put some vanilla extract in you could put almond extract in I like putting in the tinest bit of like Evergreen like even cut a piece from outside or from your Christmas tree if you have a real one let this simmer on your stove and your whole house is going to smell amazing amazing uh if you want to sure that you have the most magical Christmas ever maybe a snow machine um I saw this snow machine and it had such amazing reviews I had to really try it now I will tell you it's not actually making snow which I was a little surprised it's more of this sort of like bubble it sort of creates these like bubbles but what's actually really great is they last way longer than snow would because snow would melt really really fast so I did my research this was the snow machine that seemed to have the best reviews it really gives the look and the op parents of snow it is insane my kids absolutely love this and I think it's a really fun little thing to get for a magical maybe if you live somewhere where you can't get snow or you don't know if you're going to get snow or whatever this is a huge winner I love Ikea for getting some of my entertaining Staples for the holidays they have super cute napkin options like cocktail napkins and napkins to put out um on your holiday display if you're hosting holidays I love keeping little like holiday cocktail napkins out for when I'm hosting they also have the cutest sets of aprons they actually have kid ones and adult ones I got matching ones for my son and me a few years ago and we use them every single year when we like bake our cookies which is really fun and they're super affordable now the Dollar Tree is an awesome place to go actually for glasswear they have the Santa mug that seriously is as good as some of the Pottery Barn ones I got it for $125 and I use it every single Christmas it is the cutest thing ever they also have amazing glasses for hosting I have this set of Holly ones that I got again literally years ago I pull them out every Christmas nobody would ever guess that they are from the Dollar Tree because they're like real glass they look amazing um and I use them on a holid every holiday Escape I actually ended up going back the next year and getting the matching plates and I now use these every single Christmas for my Christmas dinner and again nobody would ever know that these are from the Dollar Tree they look so so nice and they look look like ones that exist out there for way more money a125 each you can also get place matths from the Dollar Tree which is a great find and then one of my favorite entertaining things from the Dollar Tree is their gold Chargers I have had this set of gold Chargers I'm not lying you guys 10 years probably from the Dollar Tree they come out with different ones all the time I just think it is the simplest thing you put these down before you put your plate down it immediately makes your tablescape look so much nicer and there's no needs need to buy really expensive ones I got these ones from the Dollar Tree I put them out with my fancy Holly glasses and then I'm going to show you actually how I created this really cute little um centerpiece using just some of the cheap wreaths that you can get from the Dollar Tree so the Dollar Tree they actually have two wreaths usually they have like a slightly bigger one and then a slightly smaller one so I'm going to take the smaller one and I'm going to put it inside of the bigger one to make the whole thing look full so first you're just going to fluff the wreaths up to make them look as full as possible cuz they're going to be all smooshed down and then I'm going to take the smaller wreath and I'm going to put it into the center of the bigger wreath to create a more full looking wreath for only $2.50 and certainly I could use this as wreath but I'm going to use it actually as a tablescape which is a really great hack for wreaths is you're going to take it instead of hanging out on your wall you're going to look it put it flat on the center of your table and then you can fill the center of that with all sorts of different things whether you want to do some glass votives I did a a couple of little like just candlesticks you could stick some ornaments in here some cute little Christmas figurines if you have any and it's just a really simple little centerpiece for your table using whether it's a fake wreath or a real wreath all right the day of Christmas don't forget to have your little Santa's Little Helper bag okay this is oh my God I was so pregnant in this clip um this is a bag that's just going to have all the things that you might need from Christmas morning okay some batteries a little screwdriver to open your kids toys some scissors all the things that you might need Christmas morning get them in this bag and then you'll have all the stuff you need when it's time to open presents speaking of make sure you save one of the larger boxes you get when you buy some of your Christmas presents this year wrap it in some cute wrapping paper and then stick it in the side of your living room or whatever and now you have a spot on Christmas morning where you can throw all of like the trash all of the packaging all of the leftover wrapping paper that can't be recycled by the way if you don't know this if your wrapping paper has foil or glitter on it you can't recycle it so that has to go in the trash but this is just going to help contain the mess on Christmas morning here's my Christmas cookie secret okay guys when my kids decorate cookies I don't bake the cookies I don't I bake a lot of Christmas cookies I do um but not for my kids to just decorate because let's be honest when kids decorate cookies it it looks like this okay and I don't really want my heart earned my My Blood Sweat and Tears you know I love my kids but anyway anyways there's you're not cheating if you use pre-made dough or you buy the naked cupcakes from the bakery which you totally can do um save yourself some time and buy the dough for the making of the cookies and another hack when it comes to decorating cookies with kids is get some of the little condiment squeeze tubes you can get these all sorts of places mine are literally from the Dollar Tree you can get them on Amazon fill up your icing in these and this is way better for small hands to decorate um in this clip my son is probably like two but even now he's five and I like the squeeze tubes for decorating even better I even like it as an adult I feel like it gives you a little more control of your icing and then of course all of the sprinkles all so many sprinkles on a single cookie anyways oh by the way make sure you're just letting your kids decorate on like some tin foil or parchment paper so you can just roll that up when you are done and throw away all of the mess um okay some Dollar Tree mini tree hacks over the years of creating Dollar Tree content I have found a lot of really clever ways to use these tiny $1 25 Christmas trees um okay so this is what one looks like when it is all filled out it's like a little Charlie Brown Christmas tree but we are going to do a lot with this the first thing you can do is make it a little more full really easily by getting some of these Garland Clips these are Clips they sell at the Dollar Tree for you to like hang up Garland but you can actually just use these on your Christmas tree to make it look a little bit more full so I just wrap some around um the branches or I cut them smaller and I add them around the actual like trunk of the tree and it makes it look a lot more full um for like just $2.50 worth of Dollar Tree stuff you get a pretty decent looking mini tree and then I know earlier in this video I did share some little hacks that you can do for some of the mini trees whether you're flocking them with the Dollar Tree canned snow or you're creating some different collars for it using baskets or whatever but let me share with you some other creative things that you can actually do with these mini trees besides just have them be mini trees one of my my personal favorites is to use two of the mini trees together to create a swag so you're going to take your mini tree and you're actually going to instead of like making into a tree you're going to lay it flat and you're going to spread it out creating essentially what you want is like a swag right you've got like this like piece and then I use two of them on top of each other to create a nice thick looking piece of Swag and then I'm using some of the Garland Clips to just secure this together I'm wrapping it around the base so that it all looks like you know Evergreen and I'm creating a little hook out of it and then you can use your own ribbons and whatever pcks you have I get these right from the Dollar Tree most of the time to decorate this put a big old bow on it and this is the cutest swag to hang on your front door or to hang on any door in your [Music] house all right guys we're getting really crazy this time um they had these white ones you don't have to do white ones but if you buy five of these you can do the same sort of thing where you are Fanning them out to be flat and then we are going to connect them in the center to create a star shape right this is so smart and look at how huge of a star you can make with five of these mini trees I'm just securing it all together with some hot glue and some ribbon to like hold it all into place and then you could do a few different things in the center to sort of like cover up where this piece was I ended up just getting a star shape that was supposed to be like a tree topper from the Dollar Tree and I placed that in the center um you could put a lot of things in the center but now you've created this big huge Amazing Star using just five mini mini trees from the Dollar Tree all right my friends that does it that was like I don't know 40 hacks 50 hacks so many Christmas hacks hopefully to help you save some time and some money and a little sanity this Christmas season as always thank you so much for stopping by and watching I hope you're having a fantastic day remember to be kind to yourself and others and I will see you all in my next video
