			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh, but Christmas decorating is ON! I absolutely LOVE Lowe&#8217;s Creative Ideas &#8211; so I thought I&#8217;d share them here!</p>

<p>This idea brings simple elements like pine craft boards, nuts, washers, and a bolt together to create a contemporary, Scandinavian-style Christmas tree. The look of the piece is fully customizable with its movable branches and millions of decoration possibilities.</p>
<p><em>Skill level</em>: <span>Beginner</span></p>
<p><em>Rough cost estimate</em>: <span>$69</span></p>
<p><em>Tools You’ll Use</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tablesaw</li>
<li>Dado blade set</li>
<li>Hacksaw</li>
<li>Drill</li>
<li>3/8&#8243; drill bit</li>
<li>7/16&#8243; drill bit</li>
<li>1-1/8&#8243; spade bit</li>
<li>Glue</li>
<li>Clamp</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Lowe’s List</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li>24&#8243; x 3/8&#8243;-16 threaded rod/bolt</li>
<li>12  3/8&#8243; x 2&#8243; x 24” select pine craft boards</li>
<li>1 1&#8243; x 2&#8243; x 6&#8242;  pine board for the base</li>
<li>2  3/8-16 T-nut for the base</li>
<li>23  3/8&#8243;-16 hex nuts</li>
<li>43  3/8&#8243; x  1 1/2&#8243; washers</li>
<li>MinWax Green Tea water based stain</li>
<li>LED Tea Lights</li>
<li>Assorted mini ornaments</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Build the Base.</strong></p>
<p>To make it extra sturdy, we used two “X”-shaped bases and secured with T-nuts.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Cut the 1&#8243; x 2&#8243; x 6&#8242; board into four 16-inch-long pieces.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> For all four pieces of wood cut half-lap joints: Using a table saw with a dado blade, cut a 3/8-inch-deep by 1-1/2-inch-wide (or the actual width of the board) groove for a flush fit. Center the groove 7-1/4 inches from either end. Glue and clamp the half-lap joints together.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> Drill 3/8-inch hole in center of each base.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> Using a hacksaw, cut the 24 inch threaded rod to 19-1/2 inches.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> Using a 1-1/8 inch spade bit, drill a circular groove 1/8 inch deep in the center of each base piece to accommodate the T-nut.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong> Stain wood if desired.</p>
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong> Thread base pieces onto rod securing each base piece with a T-nut.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Build the Base" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2642/4136152325_9819da6245.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="260" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Build the Base" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2607/4136914404_7b76a5fc02.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="260" /></p>
<p><strong>Cut the Branches.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong> Cut the 12 pieces of select pine craft boards into the following branch lengths (there should be two of each length):</p>
<ul>
<li>18 inches</li>
<li>16-1/2 inches</li>
<li>15 inches</li>
<li>13-1/2 inches</li>
<li>12 inches</li>
<li>10-1/2 inches</li>
<li>9 inches</li>
<li>7-1/2 inches</li>
<li>6 inches</li>
<li>4-1/2 inches</li>
<li>3 inches</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 10:</strong> Drill a 3/8 inch hole in the center of each branch.</p>
<p><strong>Step 11:</strong> Drill holes to cradle ornaments. Drill 7/16 inch holes 1/2 inch from the end of 10 to 12 branches to cradle ornaments.</p>
<p><strong>Step 12:</strong> If desired, stain the branches.</p>
<p><strong>Step 13:</strong> Build the tree by screwing parts in this order: washer, nut, washer, pine branch, repeat. Start with the 18-inch-long branches and finish with the 3-inch-long branches. Top with nut only. Decorate with LED tea lights and small ornaments.</p>

<h2><img class="aligncenter" title="Cut the Branches" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2552/4136152397_5e9c996246.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="260" /></h2>
<h2>Light and Bright Artwork:</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Snowflake Artwork" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2495/4136207995_73830f912a.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="184" /></p>
<p><em>Skill level</em>: <span>Beginner</span></p>
<p><em>Rough cost estimate</em>: <span>$78</span></p>
<p><em>Tools You&#8217;ll Use</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Table saw</li>
<li>Paintbrush</li>
<li>Screws</li>
<li>Awl</li>
<li>Stapler Gun</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Lowe&#8217;s List:</em></p>
<ul>
<li>2 1&#8243; x 2&#8243; x 8&#8242; boards</li>
<li>Canvas Drop Cloth; 4&#8242; x 5&#8242;</li>
<li>3 strings of 50 LED lights</li>
<li>2 D-Rings</li>
<li>Valspar primer</li>
<li>White interior paint</li>
<li>Gold spray paint</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 1: </strong>Build the frame. Cut the 1&#8243; x 2&#8243; x 8&#8242; boards into four 39-1/4 inch boards. Make a square frame using butt joints. Use screws to attach boards together.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Create the canvas. Cut drop cloth to 46 inches square. Staple the canvas to the frame.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> Prime the drop cloth with interior primer.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> Paint the drop cloth with white interior paint.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> Tape the snowflake <a title="Download the PDF" href="http://lowescreativeideas.com/PDF/1209_snowflake_pattern.pdf">pattern (PDF)</a> to canvas using painter&#8217;s tape. If this link stops working, feel free to contact me, as I’ve saved the PDF file and can send it to you.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong> Spray paint the exposed canvas around the snowflake with gold spray paint.</p>
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong> From the back of the canvas, use an awl to carefully poke holes for the string light bulbs. We used 150 LED lights.</p>
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong> Insert LED light bulbs through the holes.</p>
<p><strong>Step 9:</strong> Attach 2 D-Rings to the back of artwork. Hang in desired spot.</p>
<h2>Chunky Chic Candle Pillars:</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Candle Pillars" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2694/4136225209_733f156881.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="184" /></p>
<p><em>Lowe&#8217;s List:</em></p>

<li>Minwax Polycrylic</li>
<li>LED pillar candles (2.87 inch; 5-inch)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Cut a  4&#8243; x 4&#8243; x 8&#8242; fence post into four sets of the following lengths:  4 inches; 8 inches; and 12 inches.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Sand all surfaces of the wood smooth.</p>

<h2>Twinkling Towers:</h2>
<p>I WILL be doing this one &#8211; but a little differently! I&#8217;ll be posting a tutorial of my own soon.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Twinkling Towers" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2728/4136234465_6d8fcb0747.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="451" /></p>
<p>Reuse your summer tomato cages to create sparkling decorations.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Stack three cages, and             bind them together using 14-gauge wire.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> Apply white spray paint to a 6-gallon             metal can and to the tomato cages.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> Decorate the cages with wire and             Christmas ornaments.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> Attach C9 Christmas lights around the top of the cans             using hot glue.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> Drill holes in the back of the cans, and run extension cords from the lights             to an outlet.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong> Place the cages in the cans, and fill in with white pebbles.</p>
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong> Use wire             to form a star and attach to the top.</p>
<h2>Clay Pot Nutcrackers</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Clay Pot Nutcrackers" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2497/4137005300_f47487b8f9.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="184" /></p>
<p>Make your own toy soldiers from tiny clay planters.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: For each nutcracker, select five 4-inch planters, and wipe them clean.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Spray-paint one planter black and one planter beige. Use red, navy blue, and green for the remaining planters. Allow to dry.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Stack the planters as shown here. Secure them with a small amount of hot glue. Using utility scissors, cut a 7/16-inch round wooden dowel to 20 inches long. Thread the dowel through the planters’ drainage holes.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong>: With a pencil, sketch the nutcracker’s face, buttons, and belt. Paint the features with hobby brushes.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5</strong>: Tie several pieces of jute twine around the top of the dowel to create a tassel for the nutcracker’s hat.</p>
<p>To find a stencil for the nutcracker’s features, <a href="http://lowescreativeideas.com/Libraries/Project%20Related%20PDFs/WAGI%20-%201108%20-%20Nutcracker%20Paint%20Template.sflb"> click here</a>.

<h2>Copper Christmas Tree:</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Copper Christmas Tree" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2798/4136259829_5413c4e6fb.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="344" /><em></em></p>
<p><em>Skill Level</em>: <span>Beginner</span></p>
<p><em>Rough Cost Estimate</em>:<span> $13 per tree </span></p>
<p><em>Rough Time Estimate</em>:<span> 20 minutes </span></p>
<p><em>Materials</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li>copper tubing (1/4-inch x 10-foot)</li>
<li>assorted holiday ornaments</li>
<li>ornament hooks</li>
</ul>
<p>The holidays are all about being with friends and family, and sharing the traditions of the season. December&#8217;s Unwind &amp; Design project is a great way to decorate for the holidays while spending time with others. Create a mini tree from copper tubing, and then add your favorite ornaments to make it your own.</p>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Take one end of the copper tubing, and shape it into a large circle that will serve as the base of the tree. Continue shaping the tubing into smaller rings. Leave approximately 18 inches at the top of the tree for the star topper.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Copper Tree" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2663/4136259767_a3835cfb98.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="344" /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Stretch out the coiled rings to form the tree.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Copper Tree" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2487/4136259785_1b2625e893.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="344" /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Shape the remaining 18 inches of tubing into a star pattern.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Copper Tree" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2492/4136259813_70b0b8fc20.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="344" /><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong>: Decorate with small ornaments if desired.</p>
<p><em>Good to Know</em>: When the holidays are over, the copper tree will collapse back into a coil for easy storage until next year.</p>
<h2>Holiday Card Wreath:</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Holiday Card Wreath" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2565/4137022706_9d5ba59597.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="256" /></p>

<li>Primer</li>
<li>Silver Spray Paint</li>
<li>Purple Spray Paint</li>
<li>Construction Adhesive for small projects</li>

</ul>
<p><strong>Step 1</strong>: Using a utility knife, cut a 6-foot-long piece, a 3 1/2-foot-long piece, and a 3 1/2-inch-long piece of riser flex pipe (found in the plumbing department).</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Make a large circle with the 6-foot piece of pipe and a smaller circle with the 3½-foot piece, using flex tees to hold each circle together.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Connect the circles at the flex tees using the 3 1/2-inch-long piece of pipe.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4</strong>: Prime, and let dry. Spray-paint plastic clothespins and the pipe wreath. (We used purple paint for the wreath and silver paint for the clothespins.) Allow to dry.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5</strong>: Using construction adhesive for small projects, attach the clothespins to the wreath, as shown.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6</strong>: Suspend the wreath using ribbon, and use the clothespins to hold your cards in place.</p>
<h2>Mantel and Railing Card Display:</h2>
<h2><img class="aligncenter" title="Card Display" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2697/4137022722_7e4b8f220f.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="256" /></h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Holy Packaging Batman! There are so many tutorials for this subject &#8211; it&#8217;s crazy!
