Valentine's Day Decor

So in our craft group we have been working on Valentine's Day Decorations! This was our first project...inspired by this tutorial that we found on Pinterest! We of course altered the colors a bit, being that we all have white doors! Also, I found this great tutorial on using elmer's glue instead of buying the crackle paint and it worked GREAT! I LOVE how it turned out!

I bought far too much felt, so I decide to make 2 of these little balls to put on my candlesticks on my fireplace! They were super easy, but took some time!

Then as a group we made these cute little felt banners...again with the excess red felt that I bought! We cut them 6 inches across and 8 inches long, then added the fabric scrap hearts and just cut little slices for the ribbon to weave in and out of. It took me less than an hour and I love how it turned out!

Simplistic Nativity Set

I just recently finished this nativity set. My friends and I decided it was time to start our Christmas craft projects and this was our first one! I still didn't have a nativity and saw this post and decided I needed to make a set!

After we finished this set of Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus....I wanted an entire set! We decided to make 3 WiseMen,

One Angel,

and 2 Shepherds with a Sheep,

We decided to incorporate twine into each item, so there was a common thread throughout the Nativity! I absolutely LOVE how this set turned out!

If you are interested in purchasing a set you can get it here at my etsy shop! Let me know if you are interested for a special discount! ;) Also, if you want to paint a set, I am selling the raw sets, so if you are interested in that, let me know as well! :)

Trick or Treat Burlap Banner

So....its taken me a while to post this one...its been done for a really long time! ;) My sister and a couple friends decided a while back that instead of just pinning on pinterest we wanted to actually start making the things we saw! We saw this and decided we need to make one...of course we changed it up a bit.

I was thinking I should have done a tutorial for this one, but then when I just added the link and it was on etsy.com I decided, I'm glad that I didn't! We had a lot of fun making these though and they were pretty simple and cheap...what we usually go for! ;) Happy Halloween!

Halloween Wreath

We have decided to start early on Halloween Decorations, because I don't have any...at all....I know SAD!  So I started off with this wreath! 

 It was SUPER Easy!  I just took black tulle and tied it around my wreath all around!  Then I got some wooden beads and painted them white and added the eye balls and attached them with pipe cleaners.  It was perfect, because then the eyeballs didn't turn at all!  Then I painted my EEK green and sprayed it with a little bit of glitter! 

Have you started any Halloween Decorations yet!?
