It's that time of year! The most wonderful time of the year! I love Christmas and I was wanting to get into the Christmas spirit so I made a few decorations. The first project I made was for my moms formal living room. I spray painted a brown stick wreath black and then I wrapped a white feather bowa around part of it. ( I found it in the dress of drawer) and then I bought some silver Christmas bulbs at the stove for 2 bucks. The final touch was a large bow tied from ribbon with silver sparkles. This project cost about $4 because I already had the wreath. I hung the wreath over a large Mirror to finish it off.
The next project I did was more for myself. I took three old frames that my cousin was going to give to DI and I made some fun wall decor out of them. She had already spray painted then white so that was pefect. The first one I made was a Button tree I used some scrapbook paper for the background and then just glued on white and red buttons in the shape of a christmas tree.
The next one I did was the HO HO HO. I wanted to keep some continuity so I kept using buttons on each picture. I used scrap book paper again for the back ground and I just drew some "H"s on paper and then cut out the one I liked and kept tracing it until I had enough.
Notice taht I used the scraps from the black paper on picture on to make the letter H so that they would all match.
The final one I did was my favorite and it was an accident. I needed one more and I didn't know what to do so I decided rather than cut out a bunch of letters to write Merry Christmas or something I would make a present and write a simple word like Joy. I used only scrapbook paper again and a few buttons. Here is picture number 3 .
This project only required 3 old picture frames painted white, 3 pages of scrapbook paper and a few buttons! I was really excited about how it turned out and I was especially excited that I did this project with only things I had around the house!
Hope you have as much fun as I did decorating for Christmas!!
