I had the glitter and glue and I found a cardboard letter at Michaels. Not too shabby for $3. I wish they had a more formal script as this looks a little collegiate but it will do.
Big Cat doesn't care too much for the topper but he definitely approves of the velvet tree skirt. Comfy!
this looks great what a good idea! and you really can't beat the $3 price tag. definitely looks like it cost more.
ReplyDeletegimme an "S" - for a cheery tree topper!
ReplyDeleteclever and cheeky at the same time.
I cannot wait to see the script letter font you create.
I would also love a number, that way you could keep record of what year, for every holiday.
Ha! That's brilliant! I love Michaels. And that picture of Big Cat is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteNow, show us more....please??!!
Great idea! And I agree with Big Cat - the tree skirt looks like a fine place to curl up for a nap.
ReplyDeleteOK, so I searched a bit more and found it at the same company's retail store for $4.00 each + $7.95 shipping = $12.04 total.
ReplyDeleteYou got a much better deal for $3 and it looks GREAT!
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour cat is adorable. My orange tabby has been doing the same, on my green velvet skirt. I vacuum it every day. It is especially warm because our tree sits in a sunny window.
Love your "S". Show us more of your decor!!!
How did you get it to stay? It looks fabulous - love the sparkle :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a great idea! It's always kinda too bad for me though because I have two initials for my last name.
ReplyDeleteHow original and can't bat the price!
ReplyDeleteIts especially fitting for me since my first name and my last name start with an S. Double score :)
ReplyDeleteI cut a hole out at the bottom to get it to stay up.
heartartz: What are you seeing for $4?

I just realized my first post never made it on your blog so you did not know what I was talking about.
ReplyDeleteI found the script letters.
$4.99 + shipping at Craft Pedlars retail online store.
Paper Mache, 8" Script Letters, UPPER case - Kraft - 1007251

The initial on the tree top is a super idea...unless your initial is a P or F, which might be heavy on one side.
Happy Holidays to all!
That is different...beats placing the same OLD bow...!

Love the Initial tree topper...How did you get it to stay?
ReplyDeleteI poked a hole in the bottom and stuck it on the top of the tree.
ReplyDeleteLove the tree w/ the topper but how do you get it to stay on?
ReplyDeleteAnswered multiple times in the comments above: I cut a hole out at the bottom of the letter. Hope that helps.
