I'm sharing some Christmas craft and decor ideas that have caught my eye over the past few weeks. I’ve seen SO MUCH goodness out there, these don’t even scratch the surface.
If you are completely awesome, maybe you can throw some of these together this week? If not, we’ve all got next year. ;)
When I saw Michelle’s spray painted nutcrackers, it was one of those why-didn’t-I-think-of-that moments:
She found them for super cheap at Hobby Lobby and just sprayed them in glossy red. I was all psyched cause I had the glossy red, just not the nutcrackers. High-tailed it to Hob Lob and NOTHIN. Goodwill…nothin.
Next year fo sho. ;)
If you are giving away some scrumptious sweets this week, Mique has you covered with some adorable printables:
Almost makes me want to bake. Or something. ;)
Check out Hannah’s cutie candy cane tree skirt:
Can you believe it was made with hot glue? No sewing people!
I think Lakeitha’s Christmas table is just beautiful:
Ramblings of a mother, decorator…
I love the little Christmas trees on the table! And check out that GOODWILL chandelier! And those velvety chairs (what is that, velvet?). I LOVE.
I love love LOVE Laura’s rustic Christmas mantel:
Seriously. Isn’t it gorgeous? Magazine-worthy, for sure.
If you’re looking for some bling, you’ll love Cassie’s sparkly tree craft!:
They’re just sequins and stick pins but they make a major statement!
Finally, I thought Debbie’s Pottery Barn pillow was just too sweet:
So pretty! And brilliant -- she used sleeves from a Goodwill sweater to make the stockings!
I love blogland!! :)
There you go – plenty of goodies to keep you busy this week. Cause I know you’ll all be sitting around twiddling your thumbs. ;)
Bummer on the lack of nutcrackers!! Thanks for finding more ideas to add to my to-do list! :)

Wow. Those people are so crafty and stuff. I wish I were that into decorating. I've had a bazillion ideas throughout the years of things I was going to do, but when I bought my house I didn't do a thing. *sigh* Maybe next year?

ReplyDeleteWow Sarah - thanks so much for the feature - glad I decided to check in on my favorite blogs before going to bed.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I too thought the same thing about the nutcrackers. Seems to me some of the best ideas are always an "I could have a V8" moment.
Truly - again -thank you!
Take care
Laura
