12 Drummers Drumming

December 6, 2014 By Meegan 17 Comments

Happy Saturday!  And welcome to my version of the 12 Days of Christmas.  I hope you have been following the incredible bloggers and THEIR ideas for the 12 days of Christmas.

I am constantly blown away by their talent and ideas.

12-Days-of-Christmas-Blog-Tour-button-

Today I am going out on a limb and giving you MY interpretation.  What’s that, you say?  It’s NOT anything to do with 12 drummers drumming?

You see, I don’t have drum sticks around my home.  I don’t own a silhouette cameo, to cut out a drummer boy.  BUT, when you have a skewer or chopstick in your hands, don’t you tap them on your table (kind of like you would a drumstick)?

I KNOW, I do!

So this is what I came up with for 12 Drummers Drumming…

DIY Christmas Tree Ornament

 To make your own Christmas Tree Door Hanger you will need:

bamboo skewers

fabric covered cardstock

sharp scissors

popsicle stick

1 crystal

hot glue

rick rack or jute for hanging

 I started out with a few skewers, and a piece of fabric covered chipboard .

(I had it left over from this project)

With sharp scissors I cut the skewers into graduating larger sizes.

12 Drummers

 Using hot glue I attached my “drum” sticks to create a tree.

I cut a small piece of popsicle stick to make a trunk.

With the hot glue I adhered the “trunk” and crystal.

No, I didn’t use 12 Drummers Drumming.  But I DID use sticks and that counts, right???

I am excited to make more of my Christmas Tree Door Hangers as small gifts for friends.

Don’t you think they would look cute on a present, too??

I have more of my Christmas ideas here, here, and here.

Don’t forget to see ALL 12 days of Christmas and ALL of the unique, creative and Christmas ideas.

    That’s darling! What a creative way to incorporate “drumsticks” into your decor. You did a better job than I did of sticking to the theme–11 pipers piping stumped me, so I just went for a general 12-days-of-Christmas theme. :)

    Meegan, I love your interpretation! Using skewers is such a clever idea. And I love all of the other Christmas decor I see in the background. It’s all so beautiful.
