I bought these little tobogganers a while back with intentions of enhancing them but then never had the right ideas of what to do with them. Since I'm just doing weirdness at work, I figured anything goes. So I added some furry fleece, gem stones, pipe cleaners, and foam.
In my quest to decorate my cubicle with weirdness, I doodled this Christmas tree. It only seemed fitting to make him a reality.
I don't know about you but I love donuts. We've been making baked donuts for a couple of years now and they are a game changer. My current favorite is this recipe for chocolate peanut butter banana donuts. To make them Christmas themed, I swapped in mini M&Ms for the chocolate chips and topped the whole thing with Christmas sprinkles.
I bought a couple of dresses on clearance. They confused me, though, since they are winter themed but have little cap sleeves.
The solution? Cut off the tops and make them into a skirt. I decided I like them better layered into a single garment than kept separately, so I offset the waist line on the two skirts around an inch and folded over the top to create a casing for some elastic.
Have you ever seen these canvas bag kits? They typically come with 3 or 4 markers and a fairly easy to color. It's a great activity for kids (or childish adults 😁). I usually dip into my marker stash to add a little more color selection.
We're having a cubicle decorating competition at work, which is a perfect opportunity for me to use some of my weirder decorating ideas. Like my animal skeletons. Last year they were playing Santa. This year I made them some hats and scarves and they are building a snowman.
Here's another dollar store decoration that just needed a little updating. This elf light is cute but a little rough around the edges.
I replaced the white pompom with a green one, added some decorations to the had and body, and gave it a better scarf. The light actually didn't work so I also pried that out and added a battery operated tea light. The new light was a bit bigger than the old one, so the elf now has a little stand.
