Fun Holiday Decor

We whipped up a "Merry Christmas" white burlap bunting with red lettering.  It was a little late to list it online for sale so I decided to use it.  Next year we'll have to start them earlier because I think this turned out cute!

I also decided to make my own "wire brush" trees.  There are some cute tutorials online one how to make these using alternative materials (I used the one here http://www.fynesdesigns.com/handmade-bottle-brush-trees-yarn-twine-garland-rope/).  I use embroidery floss and yarn.  The bases are just white polymer clay that I pressed white glitter into.   I think they're pretty cute and they were really simple.

Burlap Wreaths

We made a few of these for the craft show we went to and a lot of people seemed to like them so we made some more and stuck some in my office; since that, we've been getting quite a bit of orders (exciting!) so I thought I'd share the ones we've made/sold.

Fall/Winter Transition Decor

More decor ideas - this is kind of a transition display between fall (with the mums) and winter (with the board)

The mums are set in a vintage galvanized bucket tied with some burlap set on a bright aqua half chair.  The is a vintage skin stretcher that has been painted white and stenciled with the word "joy"

Festive Fall Decor

Just some more pictures of things we've been doing. Painted and scuffed shutters and a burlap wreath with some artificial flowers; a shabby half chair; and a vintage kerosene jug (available at our shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/165276868/vintage-primitive-kerosene-jug-with-cork)

Upcycled Cheese Grater Earring Hanger

We found an old cheese grater and decided to make an earring holder out of it and decorate it with some ecru lace and mustard and ivory fabric rosettes. We attached the flowers to burlap first to give them some stability, then glued that onto the lace.  I think it's pretty adorable. I love the old metal with the delicateness of the ecru lace.

DIY Business Cards and Card Holder

I was browsing online looking for ideas for doing business cards and card holders to take when we go to craft shows. There were some cute things out there. Two ideas struck my fancy and I decided to use the ideas that I saw but changed things up a little.

So cute!!! All you need is a tin, washi-tape, burlap, and string or floss. I printed the cards out on card stock with my blog website on the bottom and used my stamper for the top. Easy-Peasy.

Vintage Mason Jar and Buralp Roses Part 2

We've sold the first 2 sets we've made so we're slowly making more. Here's the next one we made. I have to admit, I love these and I was sad to see them go.

Burlap Roses and Vintage Mason Jars

My mom and I threw together some, in my opinion, adorable centerpieces. All it is is vintage teal mason jar, wrapped in twine, burlap flowers, some ribbon, and a chalkboard heart tag. We have 2 listed on our shop.

I'm thinking of making a bunch for my wedding. Although instead of a vintage blue jar I may just buy a bunch of clear and color them to look like sea glass with food coloring and glue. We'll see. If the sea glass thing works out I'm thinking of making sets to sell for people to buy for their wedding tables. Sometimes these blue jars a hard to come by.
