My Holiday Home, 2013

Slide1
We’ll all the decorating is done and all that’s left is for Santa to arrive.
I had lots of fun decorating this year, in part due to the many handcrafted projects I made and incorporated into my décor but also because it was refreshing using classic Christmas colors to decorate with.
I’m not going to give you all the details of the décor (more to come next week) but instead I’m going to let you enjoy the photos.
Merry Christmas from my house to yours!

The Bells Will Be Ringing

     Christmas is here and the Bells Will Be Ringing at my house!

One of my favorite signs of the holiday season is the sound of bells. There is just something about that little chime that makes the world seem more magical and the holiday season more endearing.

I often use jingle bells as part of my holiday décor must like I did in 2011 with the DIY ornaments I made.

Christmas 2011

This year I decided to get crafty and create a Jingle Bell Holiday Door Hanger.  Every time the door opens I hear the bells ring and feel the spirit of the season come alive.

To make my Jingle Bell Door Hanger I used the following supplies:

Jute Webbing (available at Hobby Lobby)
Small Embroidery Ring
Copper Jingle Bells
Holly and Berry Candle Rings (available at Hobby Lobby)
Ant. Bronze Brads (purchased at Michael’s)

Paint your embroidery hoop red
Cut webbing to desired length
Loop top of webbing around the embroidery hoop and secure with brads
Cut candle rings so the ring can be opened wide
Glue candle ring to top of embroidery hoop
Hot glue bells down center of webbing

Hang your door hanger and listen for the magic of Christmas!

Holiday Tip:  This jute webbing is also great to wrap around boxes for a simple holiday gift wrap.
