Cheap Christmas Idea

First off I want to say that I am very sorry that it has been a while since my last post. I have been very busy lately, but I will try and fix that and post more often. I know Christmas is a few weeks a way still, but I don't like to be one of those last minute Christmas shoppers, so therefore I like to start early. I wanted to share with you a cheap idea to make if you need one of those last minute gifts you weren't expecting to buy. I have a couple people that buy me cheap gifts every year so I made them this cheap gift this year. I do want to say that I am sorry for the photo quality a head of time, I was in a hurry.

First I chose a nail polish color that fit them. The next thing I did was take those free paint strips and cut them in a shape of a tree. I added a brown stem from some cardboard I had laying around in my craft box. I wrote on their "for your mistle toes". This project took me all of about 5 minutes. Now you could also decorate the tree if you wanted to, I choose not to because I got one of those .49cent staking to place the item down in and I didn't want things to fall off.
