DIY Christmas Whimsical Pallet Tree & Wreath

Hooray... it's not even Dec 1 and my house is decorated and CLEAN! It's a big deal for me.. Shhh.. no one breathe or dirty a dish!.... It's so great to wake up to those Christmas tree lights and have some morning coffee, isn't it?!
Here are two "whimsical" projects we completed this past weekend that I am super excited about!
I say "we" because my talented husband cut up the last of that pallet wood I had. plus some scraps into a Christmas tree!

First, he made those cuts for me and I spray painted aqua and red colors. After those were dry he used screws to nail the wood pieces all together. I stencils two white love birds and that was it. Bright, simple and cheery....love it!

My wreath took all of 10 minutes!

I bought a wood wreath form from Micheal's which already had holes in it. Then I bought a feather boa for 50% off at Hobby Lobby (with the holiday decor) for $5.00. I just twisted the boa around the entire wreath and tied the two ends. I already had red ornaments and used those traditional wire hangers to hang them on the wreath since it had holes in it. They worked perfect! No glue needed! I finished with a cute "Noel" ornament from Michael's at $1.50. That was the only store I hit up for black Friday! Ha :)

My entry way is so festive now!!

I threw in one of my handmade pedestal frames and sprayed these two deer (from Michael's). They were silver from a few years back.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have started off the holiday season right! There's so much to do, but it's a blast (mostly).... :)

Vintage Mod Podge Ornaments & My Christmas Tree

So... I worked 2 days straight on decorations and getting the house ready for Christmas! It's looking really festive and I can't wait to show you all the projects I've completed! Yay! I love the holidays :)

My tree is done and take a peek at these little ornaments I redid using vintage maps and music paper printables from The Graphics Fairy. Such a great way to give new life to old or mismatched ornaments!

It's messy yet simple! Just apply Mod Podge and strips of paper to the ornaments.

After they dried. I tied with ribbon and burlap to hang. I love the result!

Remember my accordian paper love bird garland from my brother's wedding? Click here for instructions.

I saved and used them on my tree!

I also made made mini bunting with fabric triangles, string and hot glue for another garland.

I'm really diggin the cream, beige, and burlap combo on this tree! I already had the cream poinsettias from past years.... so it all worked out.

Well I am completely exhausted! Off to get some rest for tomorrow...Hoping to get in a family activity that does not include decorating :)
