Since Thanksgiving Christmas Box Gift music has been playing nonstop, and I'm really feeling the holiday mood. I love the holidays because my name is Holly. I like decorating our house every year by adding some new pieces along with things that have been there for years. Sometimes it's fun to find new ways to use old things. This year, my mantel is a great mix of new and old! A two-pack of christmas box gift from Dollar Tree with copies of Saturday Evening Post covers set the mood. I thought they looked old and would be great as a base for a do-it-yourself project. This year I've really liked the trend of picture frames that look old. A copy of the Declaration of Independence was the first thing I tried to make for my 4th of July fireplace. I loved how it turned out so much that I thought it would be fun to do it again with gift boxes.First, I didn't have to use a saw because I bought a box of 12" wood slats from Hobby Lobby. These have already been sanded down well; all they need is stain. If you'd rather, you can leave them raw wood. This is the Premium Fast Dry Ipswich Pine Varathane that I used. It's been fun to use this colour.
I Mixed It With Another Stain To Make Plates Out Of Wood.
To be safe, let the slats dry for a few hours. Next, I hot-glued the wood slats to the top and bottom of each gift box top with my favourite New Year's gift, a portable Ryobi glue gun. These christmas box gift were bought at christmas box gift. It only cost $1 for two! That is a good price for art! Ten minutes should be enough time for the glue to dry. Then, I did something a little different from the last time I worked on these old poster frames: I asked my husband to help me drill holes in the top slat. You could use hot glue instead, but I liked how the tied string knots looked better.Just add the amount of basic jute twine you want, and you're done!
These Are So Cute On Top Of My Old Mantel.
There's something about plaid that makes me happy, and when I saw these cute plaid houses at Walmart, I had to have them. For some reason, I can't find a link online. However, I saw some left over at my store last week. They also had cute striped deer that were only a few dollars each.Every time I make a fireplace, I try to look around our house and find new ways to use things I already have. You can see how I did it with Valentine's Day and Halloween too! I've had the fun cloth trees for a long time and put them in with the houses. A friend also gave me some fun new trees for my birthday that worked great. The window showed up again, but this time it was in a different place! And the fun red truck pillow that came out last year is probably something you'll recognise. How do you want your christmas box gift decorations to look this year? Not traditional? Up to date?
