Christmas Craft Extravaganza

Christmas Craft Extravaganza

That’s what happened at our house this weekend.  I finally finished the paper Christmas trees I’ve been working on for, oh 2 weeks.  I also made an ornament wreath for over the fireplace.  I have a lighted wreath for the front door but I knew I wanted to try an ornament wreath.  I also got the mantel finished complete with dollar store stocking holders.

They don’t look too bad.  I couldn’t really find any stands for them.  I also didn’t have room on the mantel for them so they are downstairs.

This is our mantel.  I think it turned out pretty well.  The garland has pretty much had it so it will get tossed at the end of the season.  Overall I think it looks nice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dollar store stocking holders.  Not quite what I was going for but for a buck each and some spray paint they aren’t too bad.  I got 2 Joys and 2 trees.

And of course the piece d’resistance.  AHHHHHH!  My wreath.  It took about 30 minutes, a wire hanger and about 70 balls.  Once I got my pattern down things went pretty well.  I was lucky the tops to my ornaments were pretty tight, they were plastic, so I didn’t have to hot glue them on.  Once I was to the end Matt helped me close the hanger back and Viola.

The Christmas table.  And lastly……

The TREE!

On the tree that is.  The tree is now fluffed and lit.  For some unknown reason the top looks crooked or not fluffed right.  And the left side looks dark.  Obviously I’m having issues.  If I could only find the energy to put the decorations on.  Ughh!
