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.  

Leather Ornaments

My Dad’s cousin used to work with leather and she had already cut out all of these circles and had set them aside for a project of hers, when I was given them I decided that I would make them into Ornaments.  This was a quick  and easy craft which involved making the vinyl decorations to be adhered to the leather.  I used a gold or silver permanent vinyl.

Wine Cork Snowmen Ornaments

I had a jar collecting of Wine Corks, and I was waiting to find the perfect project to use them for.  I decided to make snowmen, by painting them white and using a permanent marker to make the faces and buttons.  For the scarfs, I used some scrapbook paper that was Christmas themed.  I will attach a small loop on the top and ribbon to finish them out. 

Fluffy Scarves

I started picking up knitting again this year. I made these 2 scarves out of Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn. The orange and pink one is for my daughter and the white one is for me. Each one is done with Seed Stitch – alternating knit stitch and purl stitch on an odd number of stiches. I love this yarn for scarves because it’s soft, thick and has a little stretch to it!

Fall Mantle Decor

Decorating for the seasons is a fun way to change up the decor in your house and my favorite season is FALL!  I like to get strands of leaves and drape them along the mantle and I add some pumpkins and lanterns etc. to go along with it.  The one thing I always do, is change out the wreath that is attached to the mirror above the mantle.
