Pinterest Pledge {craft}

This month's craft was holiday oriented. I wanted to make some ornaments for the tree. These cost next to nothing. I don't love them but it was fun to make them because Jeff and I worked on them together. Here's how the original idea looked on Pinterest.
We didn't decorate ours but we did make ours double-sided. I stopped by Lowe's the week before Thanksgiving and grabbed several green and brown paint sample cards. 
Jeff then used some oily, rusty tool to draw the trees at perfect angles. I cut them out and then just eye-balled the green trunks. I don't know if you can tell but the red ribbon has blue painter's tape holding it together. Jeff LOVES blue painter's tape/blue masking tape. He uses it for everything. It's even holding up the front bumper on his truck after he hit a deer. No joke. That's how I know if it's his truck when I'm driving around town--look for the blue tape.
And here's the final product. They're longer and skinnier than I would like but I had to work with the free samples I could get. 
The only thing I had to pay for was the red ribbon and I'm sure I'll have plenty of uses for it in the future. I may even do another Pinterest ornament craft this weekend!
