Vintage Wreath Very Simple Diy - Using Vintage Tinsel Garland

Hi Dear Friends,

I have a few spare minutes today and I trying franticly to get all of my Christmas décor out.

 

I started with a piece of light weight card board from a back of a spiral note book, I was thinking a small wreath about 12' round. I drew a circle with about a inch width, just kind of eye balled it and cut the circle out.

Dug out a length of tinsel from the tub and started gluing the garland around the card board shape

Then I just wrapped the vintage tinsel carefully around the circle shape to fill in any gaps

Thank you so much for checking in to see how my diy vintage tinsel garland wreath turned out.

As you saw my thumb nail I hung the tinsel wreath on a large tobacco basket on top of my salt and pepper cabinet.

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Taking it Down the Christmas Tree

 

Hi Friends,

It is always sad for me when it's time to take down the Christmas tree.  We put this tree up I believe December 20th and kept it nourished with water.  Where I live the air is so dry and we do have a fire burning most of the winter month, the tree was very dry when we took it down last Sunday.

Another one of our traditions, I like to fulfill is to leave our tree up until after New Years and then take it down over the weekend.  

However, this year we spent the  New Years weekend with my mother, and arrived home late Sunday night, just didn't get the time to get to the Christmas tree. 

So many wonderful treasured hand made ornament by my kids and grandkids

Looking at this Kmart box I got these made in America glass ornaments on sale for $1.77

Carefully wrapping up in tissue and packing up the new ornament from the grand children and placing my old collection of ornament away for another year.

 

I hate to see the tree go, but I also enjoy getting more space back in my living room

Thank you for checking in to see what project I'm working on today

May God Bless you and your family,

Vintage Christmas Tinsel all Around

Hi Friends,

 I really enjoy decorating for Christmas, I kind of went  over board with the tinsel and glitter this year.  I had a bunch of vintage tinsel I found in one of my Christmas tubs, so I strung it all around the house. I think because our winters are cold, long and dreary, did I say cold?

Thank you for stopping by, and checking out what I am up to.

God bless you and your family.

A Christmas Tour of Some of my Vintage Santa's

Hi Friends,

 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
