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.

Crazy for Taxidermy!

More antlers ready for Christmas!

This set on barn wood is covered from an ivory cable knit sweater: https://www.etsy.com/listing/170531259/vintage-deer-antlers-taxidermy-ivory




And not an antler set, but a fun/unusual find is this steer skull.  Call me crazy, but I think this thing is awesome.  Would be great for photo props or just hang it on the wall!

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.
