Blush Christmas Tree Reveal

I am so excited to finally show you all my blush Christmas tree! This tree may just be my favorite one to date! I am loving how it came together! Below are pictures for some of the items I used on my tree. Almost everything is from Hobby Lobby!

How cute is this pick! Perfect for filling holes in your tree!
These ornaments are from Walmart!
I simply strung this garland from top to bottom, filling in any holes in the tree. I used three strings of this garland.

This video will show you how I always start with decorating my tree as well as talking about my favorite go to artificial flocked tree! Click HERE to watch the video!

Once I have my mesh on the tree it’s time to start added the garlands, ornaments, picks and signs!

The ornament below we made live on Facebook and you can see that video HERE! Didn’t it turn out so cute!?

Gorgeous tree topper and picks from Hobby Lobby!

Well, what do you think? Blush is definitely a popular color right now and I’m so glad I decided to go with this color scheme! So stinkin’ cute!

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!

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.

Dollar Tree Truck Makeover

Supplies:

*Red truck from Dollar Tree

*Christmas pick

*Paint-I used Waverly chalk paint “Celery”, Apple Barrel “Tuscan Red”, “Black”, and “Pewter Gray”.

*Embellishments of your choice

Now, don’t get me wrong, this little truck is cute as it is but just wait until you see it after I get done with it!

To start off I removed the tree from the back of the truck. Next, I painted the body of the truck with my “tuscan red” paint.

Next, I painted my tires with my black paint and the fenders with my “celery” paint.

Once those were dry, I took my gray and added some highlight color to the tires. I also, took my “celery” color and added some highlights to the body of the truck.

Next, I added a little mini ornament embellishment on the door of the truck. I found these in the Christmas section at Wal-mart.

To finish off the truck, I used a Christmas pick to replace the tree that was in the back of the truck. I found my pick at Wal-mart. I simply cut down the stem and hot glued the top of the pick to the back of the truck.

Well, what do you think? Quite the transformation, right? I just love how it turned out!

DIY Mod Podge Noel Sign

Supplies:

*4-5 Ft. Tall Board

*N-O-E-L Letters From Hobby Lobby

*Srapbook paper or wrapping paper of your choice

*Mod Podge

*Apple Barrel Paint-I mixed Kelley Green and White

*Paint brush

*E6000

*Jute twine

For those of you who love to decorate your porch for the holidays…you can never have too much porch decor can you? I absolutely LOVE how this porch sign turned out!

The board I used for this project came from Menards. It was a 10 ft. board that we cut in half to get two 5ft. boards. Once my board was cut to my desired length I then painted it. I mixed “Kelley Green” and “White” Apple Barrel paint together to get a sage green color.

While my board was drying I began tracing my letters and using mod podge to adhere my scrapbook paper and wrapping paper to my letters. The scrapbook paper I used came from Hobby Lobby and the teal plaid is Pioneer Woman wrapping paper that I got at Wal-mart. Both worked great for this project.

Once I had my paper mod podged on the letters I also went over the top of the paper again to seal the letters.

Once my board and letters were dry I used E6000 to adhere the letters to my board. If you plan to use this sign inside you could also use hot glue for this step. You will want to be sure and let your E6000 set up for the recommended time to ensure your letters stay put.

I used my staple gun to wrap some jute twine around the top and bottom of my sign and added a cute home made bow to the top and voila! Stinkin’ cute, right? So excited to add this to my porch! If you wanted to spruce it up even more it would be super cute to add some lights around it.

If you plan to put your sign outside you will want to spray it with a clear coat to seal it from the weather!
