Are you looking to create magic at home this holiday season? I'm excited to share ideas on how you can use a Cricut Explore Air 2 to totally create your own custom Pink Peppermint Advent Christmas Tree. This is a sponsored post about Cricut.
Get ready to countdown to Christmas in style! Do you have big holiday ideas but don't know how to bring them to life? I seem to always run into that problem. I have a vision for a Christmas tree design, but I can't seem to find any matching decorations that I want. That's where creating your own comes into play.
Last year, I finally treated myself to a Cricut Explore Air 2 so that I could finally create custom ornaments, party banners and more and end the shopping madness. I haven't had a chance to really dive in until now and I'm so excited with how all of my ornaments and ideas turned out!
DIY ADVENT CHRISTMAS TREE
Let me show you how creating my own tree ornaments has made my tree decorating dreams come true for 2021. Get ready to countdown to Christmas by making your very own numbered mini treat boxes and more.
Here are the three ways I created the perfect ornaments and decorations using the Cricut Explore Air 2 for my festive tree:
- Make Advent Gift Boxes using Cricut Premium White Vinyl. It's as simple as picking your font and setting the size, then its all about cutting the vinyl. It could not get any easier.
- Add Stripes to Wood Candy Cane Decorations using Cricut Premium Fuchsia Vinyl. To do this, I simply cut stripes out of vinyl and transferred them onto painted wooden candy canes.
- Add designs to Ceramic Ornaments from Peppermint Swirls to Fun Sayings using Cricut Premium Fuchsia Vinyl. I found the cutest options by searching Cricut Design Space for options with peppermint. I absolutely love what I found. I just needed to size them to fit my ornaments and cut the vinyl. So fun.
