Christmas Decorations

December 7, 2009 5:06 pm

There’s something I love about homemade Christmas decorations. I love when they look a little ‘off-beat’. I’m not sure why because I don’t feel that way about many things I make. I love the child’s touch on things. So here are a couple of our decorations this year.

First is our name on cardboard painted gold with glitter, hanging from an archway.

I made flags for every holiday. I love the way they add so much and are so festive.
I hang them all over.

Next is our sparkly table.

It has gold painted pine-cones in a glass cloche and gold leaves in a glass canister.(sadly I had no white Christmas lights which would have looked FAR better, but oh well)
It has evergreens with sparkly little birds and snowflakes hanging on the wall (dollar tree!)
And last, but definitely not least, baby Jesus in swaddling clothes. Someday I’d love to get one of those pretty porcelain ones. But for now, a household doll does the job because the girls take him down every moment of the day to take care of him. And who could say no to my girls wanting to love and care for baby Jesus??

    This is just what I needed to see/read to jolt me back to December! I've been working on Valentine's Day collars the past few days and I can't remember which month it really is!
    Love the flags everywhere–so special and colorful.

    Lovely, festive & cozy.
    We have bday flags at our house…xmas ones would fe fabulous. The table is so pretty & sweet with the girls caring for the babe in swaddling clothes.
    Sadly at our house the improv babe would be a stuffy or transformer or sometginh equally boyish!

    Love the baby Jesus. It's what Christmas is all about, what could be better than holding Him all day long? Beautiful job!

    Wonderful. I prefer also home made decorations. The reason is that you can be always sure that they are original. I like your sparkly table and those snowflakes hanging on the wall are beautiful. I think it has the right Christmas atmosphere. Very inspirational.

    Take care,
    Elli
