The next few posts will be about my homemade ornaments. These tag ornaments are so easy. They're a lot like those plaque ornaments with sayings, but they're made out of paper instead of mirrors or slates.

Tools you will need:
card stock
printer/pen
clothes pins
paint (optional)

1. Draw out your own little tags or find some online.

2. Trim.

3. Paint your clothes pins. I just painted the front side of it. Let dry.

4. Hang on your tree with the clothes pin!

I wanted to share a series of cheap Christmas decorating crafts with you. My own Christmas decorations are what I call, "Classy Christmas meets a little bit of Shabby Rustic Chic," but for short I'm just calling it, "Classy Christmas." 

So, the first of this series is this pinecone wreath with the base made entirely out of popsicle sticks! It takes a little more work, but it's cheap!

I am IN LOVE with how this wreath turned out. I was taking a big risk using popsicle sticks as the wreath base, but it turned out! Yes, the base is made entirely out of popsicle sticks! Cha-ching! Money saving! 
(*Note: I have had issues with it falling down due to the popsicle sticks not being strong enough, but I hot-glued it extra good and it hasn't fallen down since. But I do suggest only using this method for light-weight decorations on the wreath and nothing too heavy and bulky added.)

Tools you will need:
lots of popsicle sticks! (I didn't count, but I'd say about 50)
hot-glue gun
pinecones
fun items as fill-ins
letter 
ribbon
1. Arrange a 12 sided dodecagon (yes, I looked that up) out of the popsicle sticks. Glue together when you feel like they the sides are pretty even and circular looking. It doesn't need to be perfect. It'll be covered up by pinecones.
 2. Add 4 more layers switching off in different directions so the wreath is able to gain stability and volume for adding pinecones.


   3. After the wreath base is done, start adding your pinecones. I collected mine last year, but you can buy them at any craft store. Try to cover it as best as you can, but there will be holes where you can see the popsicle sticks.
 4. So, you'll need to fill in those holes with fun little decorations! What I got for mine were: berries, feathers with bells, and sticks with bells. They were at Jo-Anns 50% off, so I went for it. Hobby Lobby has TONS of fun fillers. And those are 50% off too. And literally there are tons.

5. Let it all dry and set over night, then tie your ribbon around your letter and wreath. Then hang it up on your door! And bam! Classy Christmas wreath.

The giveaway I did last year for a custom Christmas card seemed to be pretty popular, so I'm bringin' it back!

Here's my family Christmas card I did this year and some examples of past cards:


I am in love with the kraft envelopes I found at Paper and More! They add the perfect touch to make these look homemade, but crisp and clean.
So, onto the giveaway! This time of year is SO BUSY, so let me do the work for you to make your family card look fabulous. This giveaway is for 1 digital file (or 2 if you want it front and back like my card) for a custom Christmas card designed by yours truly. You'll need to print them yourself at your local print lab or or else I can do it for you and we can talk about fun stuff like prices. Your choice. But I will say that getting it printed at a print lab is cheaper than Shutterfly. Just sayin'. Good luck and I can't wait to work with you!
a Rafflecopter giveaway

The freebie is for sheet of these heart stickers! Either buy sticker paper at Staples or Wal-Mart (stores that sell paper goods) and print it at home or get the file professionally printed at FedEx and they have sticker paper already there that they can print on for you. I think it's $1/sheet. The circles are 1" and 40 on a page.

Tools you will need:
burlap
cotton/muslim fabric
sewing machine
twine
something to trace letters with

 1. Cut burlap into rectangles. I did mine 4"x5.5"
 2. Make letters you can use to trace onto your fabric. I used a cricut cutter. But another way if you don't have access to a cricut is to print out your letters from your printer, cut out and then they're ready to trace onto your fabric.
3. Trace and cut letters from fabric.
 4. Place letter onto rectangle and sew onto burlap.

 5. After you've sewn all your letters onto a burlap rectangle, line them up on your twine to see how you may need to space them for how you want them placed on your banner.
 6. Using a zig-zag stitch, sew twine onto burlap rectangles leaving some extra twine on the sides so you can use that to hang it up. Be sure to back-stitch with each new rectangle.

7. Cut off excess twine and you're done! Now you have a festive Thanksgiving banner to remind yourself and your family to try and have more gratitude!
