I went to Michael’s about two weeks ago to look for muslin for our homemade lightbox, and got to browsing the Valentine’s Day section. I found these things called ‘party felt’ that were located in the baking area. I suppose they could be used for trivets or party table decorations. There were a variety of of hot pink and red ones.

I’ve seen dozens of ideas on Pinterest and in blogs to turn foam cones into Christmas trees, but thought that these sequined trees at Sweet C’s Design were fun and would look cute in our family room.
