Black & White Christmas Tree

Merry Christmas everyone!  I know that this isn’t a traditional tree, but it’s something that I’ve been wanting to try for years.  Well, this is the year!  I finally have my Black & White Christmas Tree. (I can hear my sister groaning already 😉 )  I’ve been collecting black, white, crystal, iridescent & silver ornaments for several years for this tree.  Finally,  I got to use them.

Holly Jolly Tablescape

Ever since I thought of this tablescape, I’ve had the song, “A Holly Jolly Christmas” in my head.  I guess it’s because the entire tablescape was inspired by holly.  This is my Holly Jolly Tablescape!

Christmas Angel

I’ve been making these Christmas angels for years, and no matter what style you make her in, she always looks wonderful.  This is going to be a long post that is heavy with pictures.  It’s not a hard project to make, just a little time consuming, but so worth the time.  This little Christmas Angel can be customized to fit any decor by changing up the fabric, trim & accessories.  She can be used as a centerpiece or grace the top of your tree.  This is how I made my Christmas Angel.

“O Christmas Tree” Tablescape

This Christmas Tablescape was inspired by the stoneware. Creatively Sam’s isn’t quite a year old yet, and I’ve been wanting to use this all year!   Every time I look at this stoneware, I find myself humming the song, “O Christmas Tree”.  Welcome to my “O Christmas Tree” Tablescape!

Christmas Package Embellishment

I have a large package that needed to be decorated.  I could have made a big bow for it, but I wanted something a little different, something not quite as feminine as bows can tend to be.  I came up with a Christmas Tree that is made from ribbon loops.  It was very easy to make, and as I looked at the finished project, I thought about how it could be used in other ways, too!  This is one of my Christmas Package Embellishments:

White Christmas Vignette

I love white, that’s all there is to it.  It’s such an easy color to decorate around.  Everything goes with it.  The accent colors that you use with white are what give white its tones.  Gold used with white gives it a warm feel, while silver used with white gives it an icy feel.  This little vignette was inspired by a white & silver Santa which led to a snowy scene.  I made the vignette to use for my White Christmas Tablescape.  It was put together easily.  This is how I did it.

White Christmas Tablescape

As most of you know by now, I love white.  So it was only natural for me to create a White Christmas Tablescape.  The inspiration for this tablescape started with a white sleigh.

Glitter Ornaments

These Glitter Ornaments are by far the most addictive craft that I’ve done in a very long time.  I’m sure that the glitter has a lot to do with it.  And they’re a little messy but so easy to do and you can customize them to any color you want!

Purple Christmas Tablescape

This is another tablescape inspired by a gift from my wonderful husband.  He knows how much I love purple, and when he saw a purple poinsettia, he knew I just had to have it.  (It’s even been sprayed with glitter!)   Inspired by that poinsettia, here’s my Purple Christmas Tablescape.
