What's the one thing we can all say we had in our childhoods? Sesame Street, of course!
Kids everywhere recognize the iconic song and characters from Sesame Street, including Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, and the Cookie Monster, of course!
Well, one family took their love of Cookie Monster and decided to theme their Christmas tree around him. I think he would approve.
Designed by Facebook user and crafting genius Aneesah Smart, this tree is DIY from head to...well, bucket.
Firstly, she took an artificial tree and painted it blue!
You can see how she used blue flocking to turn the tree into Cookie Monster!
She also added little chocolate chips to each ornament, which she also filled with glitter. This tree is totally DIY!
And a cheeky bucket for storing even more cookies! I love the little stack of cookies that she added to the tree. Aneesah truly executed her vision perfectly!
And I think it's fair to say the post totally blew up. It quickly accumulated over 90,000+ shares and 10,000+ comments from people who absolutely adored how fun the tree is.
Aneesah got so many lovely comments praising her hard work. People actually wanted her to start teaching classes on how to make the tree, since it's way harder than it looks!
The best friends are the ones that clown on you, tbh. But this teasing revealed something insane: this was Aneesah's second Sesame Street tree, not her first!
Look at that beautiful trash monster! You can see how much Aneesah has changed as an artist — for Cookie Monster, she made her own eyes, rather than using pre-made ones! This is so cool to see.
She teamed up with her friend, Ebony McCarthan-Pack, to create a Dr. Suess-inspired tree! The two filled ornaments, cut out letters, and of course, painted the tree red!
I would want a Moana-themed tree, with ocean waves, and little Maui ornaments all around it!
Oh, and by the way: you can follow along with Aneesah's work on her Facebook!
