a few last minute things…

January 12, 2009

i finally have a chance to post about a few of the decorations i got around to making for christmas. it was very last minute, which is why they are still up to enjoy since the holidays went so fast.

first, a few friends of mine got together for a fun craft night! i ended up making a fun yarn wreath inspired by katie runnels. it was a lot of fun to make, but it took a lot longer than i expected. [about 4 hours start to finish] but, i was really happy with the end product. and, the best part is the merry christmas sign is removable, so you betcha i’ll be putting this baby up for other holidays after all that work.

i also made a smaller one using white chenille yarn. this one was much easier since it was a lot smaller.

next, i was able to squeeze in a small snow village i made from paper mache houses like these ones.
i painted and glittered up a storm. i was going for a cody foster look, but soon ran out of time. so, i think next year i’ll add a few more finishing touches, and perhaps start a little earlier on my christmas crafts.

    Caroline! Thank you for the mention! I love how your wreaths turned out! I love the Merry Christmas glitter sign-I tried to cut one out once from chipboard-but it was a nightmare!
    Happy Holidays! xo, katie
