DIY Christmas fabric trees project

A trio of fabric trees

This idea came from Katelyn, her you-tube channel is  Krafts by Katelyn , she comes up with some very awesome seasonal home decor craft ideas.

This was a quick diy to add to my Farmhouse Christmas Decor.

I traced out a tree design from printer paper, then I traced the tree shape onto form board and used a ex-zato knife to cut of the tree shape.

Then laid the form board tree shape on the fabric and cut out the shape with scissors

 I use Aleene's tacky glue to attach the fabric to the form board.

I felt the tree needed some embellishments

Using twine, old buttons, and a metal star, from the craft store I went to work. 

Some I did leave bare

I believe this project turned out GREAT!

Until the next project take care and thanks for stopping by.

DIY Christmas Project - Paper Tree Garland

Hi Friends,

Today I'm making cut out book page paper trees.  I have seen this  very simple project all over social media, so thought I would give it a try.  

So... this is my version of paper tree cut outs garland.

Old book with small print, a cookie cutter in a tree shape, and a pair of scissors,

some twine and glue.

Finished product, I added this string of cut out paper trees to my winter pine garland around the book shelf in the den and I added a string of fabric trees around the top of the hutch.

This was a super easy project that I thought you might want to try.

Thank you for stopping by for another diy project.

DIY Rustic Bells Project

I'm adding rustic bells to my Christmas decor this year.

Using a few Dollar Tree white Christmas bell 

and brown acrylic paint, I painted the large jingle bells.  

Also in my stash I found a half dozen or so of the little jingle bells, so I painted them too.

Added some twine and homespun

I hung the small jingle bells on the garland , but it didn't show up real well, so I strung homespun on them.  The red check homespun add a little bit of color.

The large bells from Dollar Tree ended up at either end of my mantel

I think they look great!  I just wish I would have picked up a few more....

Hope Dollar Tree brings these bells back next Christmas season.

Thanks for stopping by, Vicki

It's Starting to Look a Little Christmassy in the Kitchen

 Hi Friends,

Today I'm excited to share how I'm decorating my kitchen for Christmas.  My though process is Christmassy, sparkly, silver sparkle, red poinsettias.

In my Christmas tubs I found the very thin vintage tinsels.

I just added red poinsettias to the tinsels and look how great it turned out with some of my vintage containers.

I'm super happy how everything turned out.

So glad you stopped by, May God bless you and your family.

A Christmas Tour of Some of my Vintage Santa's

Hi Friends,

I thought I would show you some of my vintage Christmas decorations

 I've been collecting diy village piece for a few years.

I didn't really go all out, because we are planning to go to North Dakota and Wyoming to visit our kids for Christmas.

Just a little vignette on the round end table in the living room.

My husband like to sit out his Aladdin lamp for Christmas time it gives off an nice Ove ounce at night

above my entertainment center turn hutch I have strung green sparkly tinsel

A corner of the living room I have a little vignette of Santa

This year I'm using red poinsettias' as the flower of the month

It doesn't seem like a lot this year, but like I said we will be going to visit our kids this Christmas

Thanks for stopping by to check up on what I have been up to.

God Bless you and your family!

Finding my spirit

My Christmas Spirit has been lacking.

My daughter pestered me so much about a tree…you see my house is so very small the last two yeat I have had a taBLE TOP tree but this year Angela wanted a big tree

so I went to the VFW lot and bought a tree

Not to shabby

I’ve been working such weird hours, I just can’t kept organized, Although I have my notebooks that I’ve been trying to keep up with that will help me get back on track.

I only got out a small amount of decoration due to the fact that I’m slowly becoming a empty nester.  My youngest daughter I think could care less as long as she gets a stocking and gift cards.

I did have my outside light put up the Friday after Thanksgiving but no garland this year.

Have a Great Day!
