Here is the fabulous prize on offer for today:

So here is my project for today:

This is my bottle top Christmas Tree.

Each of the discs is made up of a plastic bottle top off the milk cartons, wadding and a circle of material.

These are stuck down onto card, and then decorated as you wish.

I have simply used some wonderful Crafty Ribbons Christmas Ribbon.

The hanger and the bow are made from the gorgeous velvet sentiment ribbon and then the two pieces across the tree are grosgrain sentiment ribbons.

The snowflakes are wooden precut shapes.

This complete project comes from my local craft store, The Craft Cave on the Weston Road in Stafford.

I am not kidding it is a really small shop but it is like a tardis - you would not believe how much stuff they have in there!! LOL
