Ho ho ho Christmas block craft

November 05, 2008

DIY Christmas Ho Ho Ho block decor with second hand finds.


I'm getting so tickled red and green that Christmas is coming. It makes me SO HAPPY and fills my heart with joy. 

Little overboard, I know. But I'm serious. I love it. 

We have a local company nearby that puts together a HUGE light display on their land and they have everything ready to go...I was so excited when I saw that today.  

I finished my first Christmas project tonight!

I bought this little doohickey a couple weeks ago at Goodwill (GO! And take some imagination with you!) knowing exactly what I would do with it, and it turned out just as I hoped. 

I got this for $1.99: Goodwill block redo

I painted the inside white, the outside Santa Red (that's what it's really called!), painted the blocks and added some scrapbook paper to the fronts. 

The letters are foam and I covered them with glitter: goodwill makeover Ho Ho Ho
I love how the glitter almost looks snowy. Precious!!
striped paper glittery letters

I can use it like the picture above, or like this:
ho ho ho blocks

Or this:
Christmas block craft
Or this:
red and white christmas blocks
OK, that may be pushing it, but you get the idea. Can you get better for $1.99?

I have so many fun Goodwill/garage sale finds to show you later this week that I need advice on. Here's one as a teaser:
red and wood christmas sled
This cutie patoot sled was five bucks. Would you leave this as is or repaint it? I see it with a brighter red (maybe Santa red? Hmmm...) 

What do you think? I also have picked up a few items that I'm going to redo as gifts. I think I can really make them shine. We'll see.


***Edited to add this little tip I found out about Goodwill: If an employee there sees something they like as it comes on the floor, they can purchase it if it hasn't sold within 24 hours (or some time frame like that -- can't remember the exact amount). 

One of my recent finds was turned backwards, on the bottom shelf. And when the employee saw I found it, he told us this little tidbit. So DIG women, DIG! Look on the bottom shelf, look under things. You might find extra special treasures. I'd be hiding the good stuff too. :)

  2. Too Cute!! I'm off to Goodwill tomorrow to see what goodies I can find.

  3. Love your Christmas craft!!! It turned out soooo cute!!!! How did you glitter the letters? Did you use spray adhesive? Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Really cute re-do! I'd paint that sleigh a brighter red, and it needs jingle bells, I think!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Very creative! Love the HOHOHO! I love a good thrift find! I'll be sure to dig more knowing that little tip. Thanks!

  6. You are a girl after my own heart! I am so thrilled to find somebody as crazy for Christmas as I am! I LOVE IT! I love all the lights and decorations. I have already gotten down 2 of my trees. I like to do several trees around my house. Your craft project is so darn cute! I haven't done anything yet, but you have inspired me and I am raring to go! YAY for Christmas! It's on baby!!!

  7. I forgot to mention that cute sled. It looks good as is, but I might paint it if it needs to be a brighter red. It would be cute hanging or sitting with a wreath on it or like a sweater and gloves to look like you'd been sledding. I have an old sled I got at an antique store and I usually just sit it outside and lean it. I need to do something to it to make it cuter. Maybe I'll take my own advice. Can't wait to see what you do with it. See, I'm all giddy now and could keep on and on typing to you about Christmas! I've got it bad!

    ReplyDelete
  8. love your enthusiasm and your darling ideas! can't wait to see what you're going to share with us!

    ReplyDelete
  9. you are so talented to see things before you make them! I wish I had just an ounce of your creativity! I have the bargin shopper part...so there is hope!! I so enjoy looking at all your treasures!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. I absolutely love Goodwill. I never find as good as things as you do though. That is absolutely adorable. I definitely think you should paint the sled a brighter red. It would make it pop.

    ReplyDelete
  11. 49 Days OH NO!!

    Cute block make-over. Adorable idea.

    I would keep the sled just as it is if yo are looking for more of a country look. If you want more of a contemporary look, then I would suggest that it be painted Christmas Red. For a more traditional look, blood red.

    That's my two bits for ya.

    Blessings,

    Sher

  12. Love it! I really need to get to Goodwill!

    But I am making myself finish up some of my other projects before I go out for new ones. Uggh. I guess it is time to focus....

    Love your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Part of why I love the Goodwill (besides price) is that I can get my dig on! Love that kinda thing!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Sarah, you are a girl after my own heart!!! I love your creativity.. and while others are thinking about Thanksgiving YOU are a true Christmas GIRL.. I love it!!! I would keep the sled the same color, BUT keeping up with your blog, YOU have to paint it. I have one (smaller in front of my bed, on my hope chest) that I put candles on. I would love to see some of your chunky candles on it with greenery! My first post on Christmas was Nov. 1! LOL

    ReplyDelete
  15. You are creating "THRIFT STORE MONSTERS"...LOL. I know at least in me. Very cute, I'm not sure I have enough patience to do that one but for $1.99. YOU GO! I like the sled but I think the wood should be painted (bottom) maybe in or just dark and it just needs "something"? I'm sure you have a stash somewhere that will fix it up. Some super fancy ribbon or add something to it and make it useful like cork board framed out. HAVE FUN!

    ReplyDelete
  16. THat is so adorable!! I wish we had places like that around here. The only thrift stores we have are clothing ones and a Salvation Army. I could check that out.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think you should paint it red and distress it a little. What great finds! Our GW is so picked over!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Great finds! I need to go soon too because I have a project I'm thinking about trying. I love your hohoho blocks!

    ReplyDelete
  19. SOOOOOOOOOO cute!!!!
    I can't wait for Christmas either!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh man I love the way the sled looks now! I would just distress it, and maybe set out some really worn out santa boots draped over the top by the laces, or a top hat!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. OH MY GOSH that is SOOOOO cute.
    I LOVE it.


    -Coco

    Oh I think the sled would be cute white and red.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm a total thrift store shopper always in search of what I can alter. I actually just did a post about a mirror frame thing that I got from the thrift store and altered. I like the sled...but if it were me I'd maybe distress it a bit. Rough it up...make him look a little worn. But that's me! Love the "ho ho ho's"!!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Love the great deals that sled is great!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I love what you did with Goodwill find! I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Hmmmm what if you made the sled into some sort of welcome sign. Maybe to lean it up beside the front door.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love love love your blocks! I need your good will. I have been looking for a sled for I don't know how long. I would just keep it that color, or if it clashes with the reds you uses for Christmas just paint it to match! You are so dang creative! have a great day!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Girl, you know those Ho's rock! I can't wait to see what else you do. At my Goodwill, they're not allowed to buy the stuff...I'd have to walk off the job. Lord knows, I was there today & just knew I wouldn't find anything -WRONG!!! You know I'm Dory (Finding Nemo), so come over & remind me around the end of Nov. to play along! I think they said 20% at TJX & co's, but if it's 10% I hope ya'll don't kill me!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love your letters, I think you need a snowflake on the blank one. :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I left you an award come check it out!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh wow, that is incredible! I love, love, love it. I went to the Goodwill here and was so disappointed at their wares. I'm going to keep trying, though.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I say paint the sled like thing the same red. As soon as I saw the pic, I thought a bright shiny red would look great. And now I feel the need to go to Goodwill. :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. WOW! I need to go shopping with YOU! I'm going to Goodwill for sure!

    CONGRATS on being featured on SITS! :)

    I love the sled, I think it'd be cute red, and as someone else mentioned some jingle bells would be cute on it ...

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  57. Thanks for that tip! I love goodwill..and auctions...and flea markets..and yard sales.

    I think the sled needs some pine boughs or pine garland too. Love the project. I have a feeling I'm going to be super inspired to do some Christmas projects this year.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Great idea...now the Christmas decorating monster in me is ready to go!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Goodwill hmmm, never thought about looking there! I think with sled it depends on your theme for that room...you do have each room in a different like I do right, LOL. Seriously I would probably leave the color and add fresh evergreen and jingle bells...a real woodsy theme!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Too cute! You did great with this project (as usual!)
    Have a great weekend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  61. that is seriously cute! I'm loving your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  62. This is so cute! I could even do this for other holidays, too. I'm thinking, my mom loves Halloween, I'm sure I could do something with that.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Very Very Cute.. Have you thought adding a Candy Cane or something to the empty block?

    ReplyDelete
  64. oh my gosh that is great! i'm not crafty at all, even though i so wish i was...

  75. Awesome find! I wish I had an ounce of creativity! I really do.

    Although, the sled....I would do the seat part Santa Red, and the sides a deep forest green. That's just me. But see, I told ya I had zero creativity.

    You're definitely goin' on the blogroll!

  81. Happy SITS day! Great blog... I love the block idea, and Goodwill is always a great place for bargain hunting!

    ReplyDelete
  82. FIVE bucks? That is a steal. I would add a wreath, and some lights and set it out on my front steps. and put an old pair of boots next to it.
    I love love love Goodwill. Especially for Halloween and Christmas!!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I once worked in a thrift store and got FIRST DIBS on anything that came in. And got it for a reduced price. It was dreamy!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Happy SITS feature day! I love this idea! Thanks for the Goodwill advice, I am going to DIG!:)
    I like the sled the color it is, but I'd add some pine bough, ribbon, & pinecone accents. And, of course, some Jingle Bells!
    I'm giving away a cute kids holiday apron on my blog this week if you want to stop by.

  85. I love your ideas and that sled is such a find! I'd love to find one like that for only $5!:)

    ReplyDelete
  86. I used to work at a department store and the women would take their size when things went on clearance and hide it so they could get it marked down even more. Seriously- you have to dig for the good stuff sometimes!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Reaffirms my love of the Goodwill. Happy to find you through SITS!

    ReplyDelete
  88. Congrats on today! Your blog is nicely done. I'll come back for more ideas. I really need to de-clutter.

    WooHoo!!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. What a great find and I love what you did with it. I think your blog is a real find.

    I love thrift store and garage sale shopping, unfortunately I do very little as I just dn't make the time.

  91. So crafty you are - I love the project!!!!

    Have a great weekend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  95. Very cute stuff!!! Happy SITS day to you!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. wow, what a transformation!! Happy SITS day to you!!! You have such creativity. I love thrift shops as well, but I just get the clothes. I have to look and think now when I shop.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Those blocks are SO CUTE!!! And I love the sled too! I think santa red would be fab on it.

    ReplyDelete
  98. WOW! I would have NEVER looked at that and thought to make something so beautiful! What a gift you have--seriously. I'm REALLY intimidated by turning something old into something new...

    I'd paint that sled red and set some poinsettias next to it... but CLEARLY, you're the one with the nifty crafting sense. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

    I'm visiting from SITS, but you're SO going into my bookmark!!!

    ReplyDelete
  99. That's a cute idea. I'm still a newbie when it comes to decorating (and entirely broke), so I only allow myself to buy one Christmas decoration each year, increasing my stock. Maybe this spring/summer I'll make some stuff, too.

    ReplyDelete
  100. SOOO excited you were the blog on SITS.... I'm all about thrifty decor!!! I'll for sure be back!!

    ReplyDelete
  101. That is such a cool idea!!!! Love the way your mind works :)

  105. You are so creative! I wish I had more time to search for treasures. Love your site!

    ReplyDelete
  106. I think the santa blocks are absolutely ADORABLE! Way to create!

    ReplyDelete
  107. I love thrift store finds and thrift store transformations!

    My husband took an old sled, hung it up against the wall so the part you sit on is flat against the wall and the underside is facing out. It has these slats on it that we use for shelves. It is very fun!

    ReplyDelete
  108. I love what you did! Don't you just love finding that diamond in the rough. It's been a while since I've been to Goodwill or the Flea Markets I think it's time for a shopping trip!
    Congrats on being the SITS FB!

  109. That is the cutest little Christmas decoration! I love it! How very imaginative of you =) I'm off to read some more of you blog. Congrats on your SITS day!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Wow! I never have luck when I go to Goodwill, I always find junk. Your craft turned out so cute. For the sled, I think it needs pine boughs and a big ribbon.

    Congrats on being the SITS girl today:D

  119. i love that sled just the way it is!! thanks for the shopping tip!

    ReplyDelete
  120. The glitter on the letters really looks neat! What a great project. Wish I had a Goodwill here. We have Salvation Army and the employees get to pick over everything BEFORE it ever gets on the floor.

    I could see the sled with brighter paint, but it does look good on it's own too. :)

    ReplyDelete
  121. ooooh- you're making me want to hit goodwill right now!!! what a great find- i love it!!!

    ReplyDelete
  122. Hey! I'm totally cracking up about your edit: DIG GIRL DIG! Thanks great advice though. I'm gonna have to get a sitter and head over to the Goodwill!

    Great project! You, of course, are fab-u-lous!

    ReplyDelete
  123. Too funny that you got that super hint from an employee. You Go Girl! I used to shop at Goodwill for crafty renovations too. I have too many young kids to venture into that store now. It would cost me a fortune (even with the great buys) to get out. You have such an "eye" for the cool stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  124. COngrats on SITS day...that is so cute. You are super talented.

    ReplyDelete
  125. I LOVE it! I agree with one of the other comments about a snow flake on the last block.

    I really like the sled too. I have an old antique one that was my moms. I always putit out at Christmas time.

    ReplyDelete
  126. You are so crafty. I would have never thought of somehting like that. Wow!!!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I feel the same way about Christmas. I just love this time of year and am getting excited.

    ReplyDelete
  128. There's nothing better than finding treasures at the thrift store. I love your projects. Happy SITS Day!

  147. Holy Cow! 158 Comments?! You've become uber-popular my dear. Sorry I haven't been by in a bit. I love your thrift store project! It's so cute. Hundreds of other people may have already suggested this, but what about putting an exlamation point (!) on the blank block? Just a thought...

    I promise to check in more often. Happy holidays!

  149. Now that I really like -- I agree with you on the snowy letters. And the sled? Definitely needs some wintry items -- either the traditional pine treatment or the melted snowman with a vintage scarf, "carrot" etc hanging off it :) (ok now you know why I'm not in design)

  154. What a great tip! And I thought they could just scarf it up right away-so this gives me hope! Adorable projects and I vote RED RED RED for the sled-Santa red sounds perfect.

  155. I was headed out tomorrow to hit the super sale at the fabric store to get some Christmas making supplies. You have convinced me to hit the Goodwill first. Maybe I'll need more fixings!
