Hop. If you have been following along, you should have hopped here from Angie Blom's blog. If not, you just have to stop at the Helmar Blog and start

I have a soft spot in my heart for Christmas trees. My dear sister use to decorate them professionally and taught me her secrets. Every year I look forward to the time I get the decorations out. I am always looking for unique things to add to the tree each year and this year is no exception. But, this year I wanted little handmade lovelies to adorn my tree.
I will stick anything in my Christmas tree. My husband put his foot down on my sticking a vintage pinhole camera in the tree this year. ;) You can find several art pieces on the branches. I love adding some personal touches. Plus, I never get bored looking at it for an entire month!
These handmade white balls can be strung on your tree, hung as garland, or individually placed carefully on a branch with pre-strung lights. I made this fun video to show you how I made them!
To treat you all this holiday season, I am giving away two of my favorite things... a Red SMASH book and one 1.70 oz. tube of Helmar's Premium Craft Glue! All you need to enter to win this prize is to post a comment and tell me what items you can find in my Christmas tree. You can also have another chance to win by following my blog, follow me OR Helmar on Facebook, Twitter, or Pintrest and comment here that you have done so. That's six chances to win!
Make sure you leave a comment at every stop because the
