She Scoops Rice Into A Round Paper Box. Now Watch What She Does With It… WOW!

Looking to create meaningful gifts for the holidays, but completely stuck on ideas for your friends or family? Well, it's time to spread holiday cheer this season with sweet and simple homemade DIY gifts.

While the holidays come packed with sweets (like these festive Hot Cocoa Ornaments), I've decided to treat my loved ones with easy-to-make goodies that make the season brighter  and healthier! This Holiday Tea Tree craft is the perfect gift that will be the centerpiece of your winter festivities.

What You Need:

While I opted to use Stash Chai Green Tea, Pukka Detox, and Pukka Love tea bags for my tree, because of the vibrant holiday colors, feel free to get creative. (Just make sure to look up the brand before buying, as some tea bags aren’t individually wrapped.)

Now let's get started.
