2023 Fall Inspired Tree

Do you love the feel of getting your Christmas tree put up for the first time during the holiday season and the cozy, warm feeling it brings to your home? Me, too! That’s why I decided to keep my tree up year round and decorate it for each season/holiday! It truly makes me happy every time I look at it!

This is my blank canvas that I started with for my Fall tree. After I took my decorations off from the last holiday I decided to leave the burlap on for my Fall tree. This is just regular rolled burlap that you can find at Hobby Lobby or any craft store. I simply started at the top of the tree and weaved the burlap in, securing it with the branches every 8-10 inches.

Next, I like to lay out all of my picks, signs, and ornaments I plan to use on my tree. All of the items below that I am using came from my shop except for the leaf picks on the top left(Walmart) and the gold and maroon leaves (Hobby Lobby).

I always like to start with my picks and fill in any holes or bare spots on the tree. I found these picks at Walmart and they worked perfectly for this. I simply stuck them in a hole and then spread out the different stems using the branches to secure where needed. One of the perks of using an artificial tree is not only being to keep it up year round, but also to be able to use the flexible branches to help you secure your decorations!

Next, I took my sunflower bush picks and stuck one on each side of the top of the tree.

I had this “give thanks” topper in my shop and instantly knew it would be the perfect topper for my tree! Again, I used the branches to help secure this to the tree.

I then continued filling my tree in with my remaining picks. Basically, whatever I did to one side of the tree, I did to the other side.

How gorgeous are these pumpkin picks!? I love the color of them!

Ok guys, you have to check out this tree decorating hack! How cute is this little bow I made using corn husks? SEE THE VIDEO HERE!

Next, I used raffia and a branch to tie a cute bow under my topper. I found this mustard colored raffia at Hobby Lobby.

I then filled in the rest of my tree with ornaments and signs to finish it off! I am so happy with how it turned out! Will you be decorating a Fall tree this year?

Of course I had through some pumpkins and candy corn under the tree to top it off! So adorable! You can find the video for the teal pumpkin that is under the tree HERE!

Whimsical Scrap Wood Christmas Tree Decor

You will need:

*Scrap wood or surface of choice

*Red, green and white paint

*Paint brush

*Sticks for the stem

*Raffia

I started off by painting alternating rows of green and red in the shape of a tree.

I then took my chippy paint brush and lightly went over it all with my green color.

Next, I used the same brush and added wisps of white to make it look like snow.

I added a small raffia bow to the top of the tree and then to the center I added a piece of snow I took off of a floral pick I had on hand.

I used three pieces of sticks for the stem of the tree.

I just love how this turned out!

2021 Navy Themed Christmas Tree

Navy | Christmas Tree | Snowman

Happy holidays!!! I am so excited to share with you my Christmas tree for this year! I went away from the traditional red and green theme and decided to go with a navy theme! I absolutely love how it turned out! As soon as I got the deco mesh on, I knew it I loved it!

Typically, we buy a real tree so I am not able to put our tree up as early as I would like…but this year I decided to try something different! I happened to be looking through the Black Friday deals at Wal-mart and found this beautiful tree for ONLY $69. So, I bit the bullet and bought an artificial, flocked tree. It took my family awhile to get used to it as we have always had the real tree and the awesome Christmas smell that goes along with that but they adjusted well!

I knew I wanted to have some navy accents in my holiday decor this year so when I found this mesh at Hobby Lobby I grabbed a couple rolls. I only used one roll on my tree as I only decorated the front side but if you were to decorate the full tree you would need two.

To apply the mesh, I simply folded the mesh in half and used the branches of the tree to secure the mesh as shown. I did this about every 12 inches starting at the top.

Next, I strung some garland on the tree. This also came from Hobby Lobby. It has bells and the faux cotton pods on jute twine. After that I began filling in the tree with ornaments and picks. These all came from Wal-mart and Hobby Lobby.

I found a 4 pack of the navy, oversized, colored ball ornaments at Hobby Lobby and new they would go perfectly with the mesh I used. I simply placed them throughout the tree where there was a bare spot and they finished off the look perfectly!

Now for the tree topper! Is this not the cutest thing you’ve ever seen! I knew I had to have this as soon as I saw it at Wal-mart! It’s not your traditional tree topper and that is exactly why I love it so much!

Hobby Lobby Truck Makeover

You will need:

*Unfinished wood truck from Hobby Lobby

*Paint of your choice

*Sanding block

*Glitter

*POSCA pen(optional)-Here is my affiliate link to find these on Amazon.

The first thing I did was paint my truck with my English Navy color and the tires with Jet Black. All of the colors I used on this project were the Apple Barrel brand.

Next I used Christmas Green for the trees and then used some of the Antique White to highlight the trees a bit.

While the paint was still wet I sprinkled on some green glitter.

I then used my POSCA pen to highlight my truck. If you do not have one of these you can just use a small paint brush and your white paint to get the same effect. Once dried I then took my sanding block to it to add a rustic touch to the truck.

Lastly, I glued one of the these rustic snowflakes on the door and went back with my POSCA pen add added a little more highlighting to the truck. You can find these snowflakes at Hobby Lobby.

I forgot to mention the truck lights up! How stinkin’ cute, right?

DIY “Ho Ho Ho” Christmas Sign

You will need:

-board of choice-I found mine at Hobby Lobby

-letters to spell “ho ho ho”-I got mine at Hobby Lobby

-Apple Barrel paint-I used “Tuscan Red” and “Christmas Green”

-Embellishments of choice-I found the truck I used at Hobby Lobby

-Ribbon if a bow is desired

-E6000

-Hot Glue Gun-Click HERE for the affiliate link for the one I use on my live videos.

The first thing I did was paint all of the “H” letters with my “Tuscan Red” color and all of the “O” letters with my “Christmas Green” color. Any paint will work for this.

Once my letters were dry I used E6000 and hot glue to secure them down. If you don’t plan on using your sign outside then you would be fine just using the hot glue, however, if you plan to use your sign outside, you will want to use the E6000 to adhere your letters. The reason for me using both is so that the hot glue will secure the letters down while the E6000 cures as it takes up to 24 hours to fully cure.

Once I had my letters and my truck glued down I moved on to the bow. You can watch my bow tutorial HERE or you can follow the pictures below to make it also.

Once I had my bow made I stapled it to my sign! If your not a bow maker or just don’t want to take the time to make one you could certainly just buy one to use. They have some super cute ones at the store for sure!

And just like that you have an adorable Christmas sign you can use outdoors as porch decor or indoors for wall decor.
