holiday 2024: funky fabric Christmas tree!
while most of my holiday decorating this year
involves re-using a lot of elements i already have
along with a few new things i am making,
there ARE new store-bought things in the mix...
and one of them inspired a whimsical tree:
i picked up a few small flocked trees at Target for $3 each.
as they sat in my studio waiting for me to use them,
i looked at that bright chartreuse green tree - and had a brainstorm.
i have a fuzzy chartreuse green microfiber blanket.
i have a few wire tomato cages. i put those two together.
and the result is a very... SEUSSICAL... tree.
which perfectly fits my 2024 theme,
O Christmas Tree
continue reading and see what craziness i pulled off!

holiday 2024: diy upcycled painted ornaments
wreath number two for this year is a fun one...
i rounded up some old ornaments that i don't ever use,
and gave them a whole new look with paint.
the pattern that i painted on these ornaments
was inspired by the posterboard i've been using as a 'drop cloth':
it's just splotches and swaths of paint left from many painting sessions -
which looks a lot like a current 'graffiti' paint trend
that is an easy pattern to replicate.
since my theme this holiday season is
O Christmas Tree
using ornaments in varied ways works perfectly!
follow along and let me show you how easy this is...

yes, green fits my current 'green era' color obsession,
AND it allows for a re-visit / re-style of some of the
elements that i have used for holiday decor in the past.
