MY FIRST CHRISTMAS CRAFT THIS YEAR

Happy Friday!

Can you believe next week is Thanksgiving?

I feel like this year time is just going by so fast and can not seem to be able to catch up. :)

Last year around this time I already had all my Christmas decor ready to go, this year I got NOTHING. LOL

Well, somehow, it will all get done.

Once again, I am a little concerned about decorating our mantle. I want to use some of the items from last year, but add a few new things also, so that is where I will be using this project.

It is very simple and it has been done before.

Once again, I used some of the scrap wood we had.

 It was sanded and painted in a natural beige color I had.

I used things I already had in my craft room to decorate the blocks.
I started with a cute Christmas craft paper.

 Little pearl embellishments.

I used a page of fancy paper I had in my stash, to make a bunch of different shape snowflakes 
using the Silhouette Cameo.

I cut a piece of burlap and I ironed to it some fusible interfacing, that way when I went to cut the 
three small squares, I got some nice clean cuts.

I made the letters once again in the Cameo using white vinyl.

And then it was just a matter of putting it all together.

I mod podge the paper to the front of each block.

While I was waiting for them to dry, I added the vinyl letters to small burlap squares.

 And then came the snowflakes.

I added the small pearls to each one of them.

I did not want them to sit flat on the block, so used some glue dots to attach them and raise them a little.

 And that's it! Simple project.

The best part, it was free to me since I used what I had to put it all together.

I hope you all enjoy your weekend.

We have some serious storms in out forecast, so I think this is going to be an "indoor project" weekend. :)

See you soon!
