DIY Wood Christmas Stockings

December 4, 2019 2 Comments

These DIY Wood Christmas Stockings are so fun and easy to make! When I started decorating for Christmas this year, I really wanted to remove most of the decor we normally have and rearrange some things and start with a fresh, blank slate. After I got the hutch decorated, I started thinking about decorating the $2.99 mantel in the living room. Right away, I thought about the movie The Christmas Carol. I don’t know why, but I did.

DIY Christmas Countdown On Wood Ironing Board

This DIY Christmas Countdown is another easy project made from an old, wood ironing board. If you have been here for some time, you know that I love picking up old, wood ironing boards because you can do so many things with them. I have made a Child’s Chalkboard, a DIY wood sign and many other things. I like old ironing boards because the wood usually has the best patina that you can’t easily replicate.

I want to thank Zibra Paint for partnering with me on this French Provincial Dresser Makeover . I have said this over and over again, but most of the time when I step into a thrift store, I don’t plan on finding anything worthwhile. With that said, I continually go because I have obviously found so many amazing things inside thrift stores. Furniture is one of those things that I find only once in a while. There aren’t many times I find pieces that are worth rescuing so imagine my surprise when I walked into the thrift store on this… Read More

Upcycled Ribbon Spool Christmas Trees

Christmas trees come in all shapes, sizes and colors, but these upcycled ribbon spool Christmas trees might be the cutest ones of all. I love wood ribbon spools of all sizes, but the large wood spools that a lot of ribbon is wrapped around might be my favorite. I bought a bunch of these spools of ribbon on clearance a few years ago at Target after Christmas. As the ribbon would run out, I didn’t have the heart to throw out the wood spool. I knew I could do something with them. Finally, this year, I put some of them… Read More
