Holiday decor

I hope you're all enjoying the holiday season. Santa's workshop has been in full working mode all throughout the week to get all the handmade presents ready. Since I can't share any of that just yet I thought I'd pop by and show a small bit of our Christmas decor this year.

I decided right away that I wouldn't buy ay new decorations this year. I have huge amounts of crafting supplies that are cluttering my bedroom, so I decided to try and use as much of what I already had in hand.

I've been using thrifted glasses as candle holders, and to add a little holiday spirit I painted the edge golden with permanent marker. A quick and simple fix, but I think it adds a lot. I also made some golden cardboard christmas trees. Then I gathered a bunch of random materials like yarn, foam balls and cardboard to make this easy hanging garland. I made pom-poms from yarn, covered the foam craft balls with yarn and rope leftovers, and cut golden circles from cardboard (which was actually a pizza box spray painted gold).

I love handmade decorations! They're so much more meaningful, and making them got me into the holiday spirit. I hope you had time to add handmade touches to your own holiday decor.

I wish you and yours a truly wonderful Christmas time!
