Last week I hit our local Goodwill for a few picture frames and anything angel or Christmas related that would look great with a coat of glossy white spray paint. The frames were plentiful so I grabbed a few, brought them home and got to painting. I have been pinning a few Christmas printables on
Pinterest so I printed them out and placed them in my frames to place on our mantle and the table in our front entry.
The 2 angels in the above pics are from Dollar General. They were originally red, white and blue. I picked them up at the end of the summer for a mere 25 cents a piece. Now they have a lovely coat of glossy white spray paint.
I decided to change up our Christmas trees' color theme this year. We've had lime green and red for the past 3 years, so this year our colors are my favorites, teal and red. While pulling out all the ornaments and stockings I realized that our stockings were dated and old and didn't fit the color theme I had in mind. So, off to Pinterest I went for a
stocking tutorial. I found one that was super quick and easy and produced great results. The 2 stockings in the middle are the ones that I whipped up this weekend. I love how they turned out! This was my first attempt at making stockings and this tutorial made it easy.
The last Christmas vignette in our house is on our entry table. I'm not much of a decorator, so I once again I used a Christmas printable from Pinterest, a dollar store frame, Goodwill milk glass vase and angel. That sweet little angel was an awful gold color when I got her at Goodwill. She too got a coat of glossy white paint. I made the little house ornament a few weeks ago and have a few others to place on our tree once we get it decorated.
So that's a little of my Christmas crafting thus far. I've got a few more things in the works. I will photograph them as I finish and update you soon. If you've done any Christmas crafting or upcycling I'd love to see it! Leave me a link to your post and I'll come check it out. Happy Crafting!
