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.
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
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.

Cheering up the light
This was very easy and rather cheap. I saw this light decorated on Pinterest for Christmas and for some reason it stayed with me. So when I had finished my banners, the light looked so plain. I still had some berries left and the light called to me.

Adding the holidays to wire baskets
Decorate them of course. Many of you have pine trees where you can get fresh pine, but here not so much or at least not the good kind. I went to Home Depot and they had two carts filled with pine branches that they trimmed off the trees and said I could have all I wanted. Yeah!!
Free pine branches are added to wire hanging baskets.

Holiday Mason Jars
There were three boxes of mason jars. Needless to say, I was on them immediately. She had them priced at $5 per box. I am not sure how many were in each box - somewhere between 10 - 14 each. Some were large, but most of them were the small ones and all had their lids, like the ones in my picture below.
She saw me looking at them and said, "you can have all of them for $5". I tried not to fall over and grabbed them up before anyone else did. Since there was only one other person there, I was pretty safe.
