TWOC: Christmas Accent Craft No.2

Twelve Weeks of Christmas

{New to the 12 Weeks of Christmas? Click on the button.}

1. Starbucks Inspired Ornament Wreath


I'm not sure who was the originator of this, but this is the tutorial I used. So stinkin' cute and EASY. All you need is a coat hanger and some ornaments. Seriously! I love the way it turned out.




2. Dollar Tree Styrofoam AWESOMENESS

This is made of Styrofoam. It was $1. I don't know if you can tell, but it ain't purty. Yet.

A little craft paint , hot glue and burlap later... I LOVE this!





3. Burlap Pillow Cover with Felt Cut-Out

White felt cut-out: $1. Half yard of burlap:$1. Itchy, messy brown holiday pillow: priceless.

{This is where I hot glued two pieces of burlap around an old dirty accent pillow a very rustic look.}




The Giveaway
Tonight I got crazy and made a tassel. I was inspired by Linda. I tried to do it the professional way. It looks kinda gaudy. Okay. It looks really gaudy, but it's my first try. My second try will be the TWOC Week 7 Prize. You are just gonna have to trust me on this one. I will make it really fancy and chic for you! If I get good I might make 2. Ya hear that? Double giveaway! Maybe.

  6. that starbucks inspired wreath is pretty cute! I was totally expecting something else when I read "starbucks inspired"...lol, like old cups or something. Your tassel is SUPER cute! I made a tassel out of a creepy santa head from the dollar tree...the result...creepy tassel! LOL

  7. Oh man. I am out of glitter. What the heck am I gonna make this week. I have an idea. Are you scared? ha! Cute ideas, Keelie. Not sure how you changed the wording from Rejoice to Believe but that was clever, clever, clever.

  15. I love the pillow! I have seen the felt ornaments at the dollar store and thought they would make cute place mats. But I love the pillow idea!!

  16. I'm a new follower! And I'm sorry, I posted my link to my Give Thanks banner before I realized that it was a Christmas accent post. I haven't gotten that far in decorating yet!

  18. I'm so late. (sorry) Wow! You have the best DIY holiday ideas. I love the wreath (I made one last year with Eddie Ross' instructions). I love the felt and burlap pillow too (lol at itchy and messy but so pretty!).

    Thanks for sharing your ideas in the DIY holiday party. I can't wait to check out the other links in your TWOC. I'm going to need a day to catch up. ;)

    Take care and have a great rest of the week!
