Merry Christmas Wooden Wreath

I had a black circular wooden plank and needed to update the Christmas Wreath.  This is what I came up with, I got some cheap holiday flower bundles at the Dollar Store and made the bow with ribbon and burlap that I had.  Made up the fancy lettering for the vinyl and it pieced together pretty nicely!

Wooden Circular Wreaths

These circular wooden wreaths are very fast and easy to make!  I bought a bulk pack of the wooden circular blanks, they are thin and unfinished so I could paint them whatever color I wanted.  The possibilities are endless!!  They could be used as wreaths on a front door but also has wall decor.  Permanent Vinyl adhesive worked best to apply on top. 

Chicken Pesto Pizza

With the pesto I had made I have been experimenting with recipes.  Last night I made a Chicken Pesto personal pizza.  I used the pesto as the sauce on the dough, and then placed some chunks of pre-cooked chicken, onion, spinach, garlic, small pieces of tomato, shredded mozzarella, and small scattered pieces of goat cheese.  These turned out great, and was yummy!!

Wood Disc Snowflake Ornaments

At the craft store I found these wooden discs that came in a big pack and they already had the hole at the top ready to be used as an ornament.  I found a variety of snowflake designs to make vinyl that would attach to them.  In this project I had used iron-on vinyl but if I did them again I would use a permanent vinyl as they didn’t stick that easily, and I’m not sure if they will long term.  

Outdoor Deck Privacy Wall

If you have a nosey neighbor and live in a neighborhood where houses are close together, and there really isn’t a way to block them out yet, this might be a good solution for you.  We recently planted some privacy plants along the fence to act as a taller privacy wall but we need to wait for that to fill in.  So in the mean time, we  decided to add a privacy wall on the deck itself.
