It’s the simple things in life that give us the greatest pleasure. . . so today I am sharing some simple, quick and easy ideas for Christmas decorating.
This is my entrance hall table. . . simple red, white and silver theme. The hanging white stars are clay tags, which I gave a tutorial for here in Simply Christmas last year. This is a fun project for the kids to help out with too. All you need is some air dry clay and cookie cutters!
What about jazzing up some cushion covers for the festive season.
Here are several examples from my own home – a stencilled reindeer burlap cushion cover and handwritten sharpie pen covers.
For the reindeer cushion I simply used a reindeer design I liked from a Christmas card.
I traced the design onto a piece of old x-ray and cut out with a sharp craft knife. Using some white fabric paint I stencilled the design several times across the cushion.
Don’t we all love the sharpie pen cushion covers – super easy!! Create a word in a fancy font on your computer and print out. Put the print-out on a light box and trace the word onto calico/muslin using a black permanent marker. Yes. . . it’s that easy.
Short on time. . .
. . . whip into the nearest supermarket, load up with red and white candy and display with generosity around your home.
See. . . it’s pretty easy to spread the Christmas spirit throughout your home with a few handmade touches!
Here’s one final handmade project for today. . .
