Christmas Wagon Wheel

Christmas Crafts!

Hey Guys!

Again, I do apologize for the delay in my blog postings! However, I am finally back from my wonderful vacation! Once I returned home, or even better to my mom’s craft studio, I have been extremely busy working on DIY Christmas Crafts and tutorials to follow. I’m going to post each craft I create/redo, each baked good I make and the Christmas gifts that I create. All my Christmas crafts and goods will be posted as soon as they’re created and will continue all the way up until Christmas day! Hope you beauties enjoy these festive crafts and snacks.

Enjoy!

Time to decorate: DIY Christmas Wagon Wheel

This craft is super easy to do, the main item you will need is a large wagon wheel. I got mine from my mom’s, but you can try to find them at flea markets or try asking around for one!

Items you will need:

Wagon Wheel

Pine Tree Branches

Pinecones

Brown Twine

Burlap for a bow or purchase a bow

Red Cranberry Vines

Clear Christmas Lights are optional

Zip Ties

**All these items can be purchased at a dollar store except for the vintage wagon wheel!

Step 1: After you have purchased your supplies it’s time to just have fun and start decorating the wheel as you please. I cut down my own tree branches from my mom’s forest in her backyard. I know you can also buy tree branches at Christmas tree farms this time of year so that’s an option too! I used zip ties to secure the branches onto the wagon wheel. If you’re adding Christmas lights I suggest you add them now.

Step 2: Once the tree branches and lights are secure, you can add your pinecones. I used brown twine and the pinecones to make a garland.  I then attached that with zip ties. Now add the cranberries and other decorations you would like to the branches.

Step 3: Once all the decorations are fully secure its time to add the bow! I made my bow out of burlap fabric and Christmas ribbon, or you can just purchase a bow that’s already created from the dollar store. Also attach the bow with a zip tie.
With everything attached your festive wagon wheel should be completed!

Hope you guys enjoyed & more to come!

Christmas Cards

Hey Guys!

I am so sorry about the late blog post! I have been extremely busy with work, packing and a few of my girlfriends have been visiting for the past week that I haven’t had the time to do any crafts except my Christmas cards. This year I decided to spice up my Christmas cards by adding a little Christmas touch to them. I used crayons and some Christmas stencils that I made myself. These cards turned out a little cheesy and playful, but I’m sure my receiver’s will appreciate my Christmas touch.

Items I used to make these Christmas Cards:

Christmas Cards purchased from Target

Crayons

Black Sharpie

Transfer Paper

Printed Stencils

**Majority of these items should be laying around the house! If not, they can be purchased from the dollar store. 

Step 1: Once you have purchased your Christmas Cards its time to spice up the envelopes. I printed 3 different types of Christmas images off the Internet and then used my transfer paper and traced the images onto the envelopes. I did each card differently depending on their names and addresses. I used red and green crayons and a black sharpie to color and bold the envelope. This craft is really fun and easy to do; it’s a great starter craft for the holidays!

Hope you guys enjoyed, and more Christmas crafts to come!
