Molds, Blocks and Trees

Molds, Blocks and Trees

As part of my Winter Wonderful Tray, I added these trees to my sled. They were quite easy to create since I had all of the materials on hand.

What you will need to make these Christmas Tree Blocks:

vintage molds or any metal tins 
vintage blocks or wooden blocks 
Christmas trees from Dollar Tree
paint
modge podge 
glitter

This is what I wanted to create:

1. Paint your molds or metal tins. If you don't have any vintage molds, you can find metal tins at Hobby Lobby. I sanded them lightly for the paint to adhere.

Then I sprayed them with some chalk paint I had. 

2. I was lucky to find three letters that I could use, J and O. The Y was on one but it was not raised so I just painted over it.

You could always find some wooded blocks or make your own. You could also use round pieces of wood. You can fins those at Hobby Lobby or cut up some tree branches. lol!

3. Once the molds and the blocks were ready, I glued them all together and let them dry. 

Then I got out my Modge Podge and using a paint brush that is about 3/4 inch wide, brushed it on the mold and the block. I also brush some strokes up the tress. 

Then sprinkled everything with glitter and let it dry.

It is a nice reminder for me since these blocks belonged to my son. I remember him playing with them.

Quick and Easy Christmas Centerpiece

Quick and Easy Christmas Centerpiece


Need something on your side table, coffee table, or anywhere, why not create a cranberry candle centerpiece. I needed three for the round tables that we set up on our deck for our annual Christmas party. I knew I wanted candles, but didn't want to spend a lot and I didn't want them to take up too much room. 

I looked in my stash and the fridge to see what might work. This is what I came up with.

Tutorial for making Christmas Lollipops and Christmas Pole

Last week I showed you my Grandinroad Hack - Wooden Christmas Present. I displayed the box with my lollipops and Christmas pole.

These lollipops are adorable and so easy to make and you might already have all most of the materials. 

You will be surprised that I made the lollipops with pool noodles and PVC pipe.
