Thee Long and Merry Christmas Post: DIY Decorations

3:58 PM



Okay everyone! So there are a couple Decorations that I am experimenting with...


Gift Wrapped Door 

Snowflakes


Snowflake Garland




What You'll Need

Foam Snowflakes
Fishing String
Scissors
Tacks 

Step 1

String your first snowflake by taking the fishing string through holes. I put it through the top let hole, then across to the top right. For every 3 snowflakes I added a mini flake, either through the two top holes or the middle ones. 

Step 2

Once your done with the snowflakes (you can even them out after it's hung), put two tacks at the beginning and the end of where your hanging the string. Then tie about two knots at each end.

Step Three

Even out your snowflakes, and make sure they look right. 
Then voila! 



Gift Wrap Door



What You'll Need

Wrapping Paper (I used about 45")
Tape (shipping tape would work great)
Scissors 
Glue Stick
Ribbon
Bow


Step 1 

To wrap the door, I measured the amount for the front, and dropped the roll over the back.





Then cut, and tape down. It's a bit tricky to pull the wrapping paper under and up from the door, I actually tore mine. Make sure to cut holes for the door nobs. Sine I did not have enough, I used some from another roll. Patch up your bare spots, using the glue stick so you cannot see the tape. 


Step 2

Here you add the ribbon, which I used the tape by sticking it to itself, to make it all-around sticky. My ribbon was supposed to look more 'gifty', but I ran out, so now it is more of a cross.



Then add a ribbon by hot gluing it on, and your done! 



My Asparagus Fern & paper mache newspaper tin (the letters are clipped out from the paper ). I learned never to use 4 day old paper mache, wonder if I'll ever forget that smell.


Stay Tuned!
