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!

Shabby Chic Lilac Village

I’m usually drawn to a more modern decor, but there is a ‘girly’ side of me that loves Shabby Chic.  I wanted to do a new Christmas Village vignette this year, and since my favorite color is lilac, I decided to go with that color.  Here’s how I turned Dollar Tree houses into a Shabby Chic Lilac Village.

Snow Leopard Ornaments – tutorial

This year, I’m planning a black & white Christmas tree, so I’m making ornaments for the tree.  Today, I made Snow Leopard Ornaments.  They are surprisingly easy to make even though they look hard, and the price that is being charged for this type of ornament is outrageous!  I’ll show you how I did it!  Trust me, they are easy.

Flower Pot Angel

I’ve been making Flower Pot Angels for years, and for some of my new crafters, I thought I show you how I make them.  I chose blue with brown hair, but you can change the color of the angel & hair to match any theme you want.  They’re not only for Christmas decorations.  They are adorable additions to a child’s bedroom as well as a kitchen angel.  Only your imagination can limit this design.

Paillette Ornaments

As usual, I have my mind on Christmas.  Heck, it’s there all year long!  I love decorating for Christmas, and I love doing it myself.  I was looking around my Craft Room, when I found some Paillettes.  Paillettes are basically slightly larger flat sequins with one hole towards the outside rim of the sequin instead of the center.  I came up with this sparkly ornament that I’m sure will catch the light like crazy.  These are time consuming, but so worth it.

Shell Angels

I’m still longing for the beach.  So, making shell crafts seems natural to me. and I love Christmas.  I’m making Shell Angles today!  I constantly think about all of the joy & sparkle that the Christmas season brings.  (I wish that feeling could last all year long)  So, combining the two makes sense to me.  Makes sense to you, too, doesn’t it?  (I know it’s only July, but haven’t you ever heard of Christmas in July?)  🙂

Angels are always part of my Christmas decorating.  It was an angel that brought the good tidings to Mary.

This is a long post, because it’s loaded with step by step pictures.  I will apologize now for some of the blurred pictures.  I’m still trying to master the macro setting on my camera.  I’m also showing how I make all of the parts before I put them together.  It’s so much easier when you’re making multiples to do it like an assembly line.
