It's time to start thinking about
Christmas...
I loved the ornaments Holly
from Down to Earth Style made last year...
At first I tried to find vinyl Christmas words online
to use for my project...
But in the end I decided to hand paint mine.
I used scraps of driftwood I found on the beach
last summer.
I gave them a quick coat of white chalk paint...
and hand painted Christmas words with
a paint stick... I gave them a quick sanding to give them
a rustic look.
I drilled holes in the corners of each block and
wrapped waxed twine around the ends and through the holes of each block.
I finished some off with a flannel ribbon and a
rusty mini clothespin.
rusty mini clothespin.
I loved Holly's recycled ornaments...
Susan those are perfect. I love ornaments as a grouping, lots of the same style but each slightly different. And I applaud your 'using what you have/found' mentality, so much can be made of stuff we already have in our homes if you put your mind to it!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute!
ReplyDeleteI just love these, such a great idea and they look fab with the rustic appearance.
ReplyDeleteSusan...that is your own handwriting? WOW! It looks just like a font I have for my Cricut! So cute and thanks for the linkback. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteNicely done...I"m working on small Christmas signs right now..but I'm using stamps and stencils...my handwriting is not as good as yours!! :)
