It's About That Time...

Time to break out the Christmas decorations and transform your home for the holiday season! Every year I do the same thing with my decor, except for changing up my Christmas tree color scheme. I'm a little bored so this year I'm going to try some new things, primarily DIY decorations to save $$. Check out these festive and fairly simple ideas...hopefully you'll find some inspiration too! What fun decoration ideas do you have in mind for the holidays? Have a wonderful weekend! xoxo - Julie

{Wrap a large canvas or board with wrapping paper as a fun backdrop to a holiday vignette!}

  9. Great ideas here! I've done the chandelier with ornaments, glass cloches (actually, it's a footed cake plate with dome) with ornaments... I'm going to have to do the wrapping paper on foam board now.

    Thanks so much for the collection.
