I thought it might be fun, to share a few of the goodies I've been crafting lately.
With Christmas just past, I don't usually create any special decorations for the New Year. This year however, after finding a few cute ideas on
Pinterest, I decided to create just a few new pretties.
This glittered skyline was created from foamboard and TONS of copper glitter. My inspiration came from
this blog post. I fell in love with the concept, but decided to do the Minneapolis skyline instead as it's a bit closer to home.
The white sprays are balloon-weights from the dollar store, the fabric is a remnant from my stash, and the stars were punched from a single sheet of glittered scrapbook paper.
I also thought it would be fun to include a few clocks in our New Years Eve display, and created this tiny vignette for the top of my antique sewing machine.
The tiny mantle clock was a thrifted find, and the numbers were hand-cut from glittered cardstock.
And for one more small display, I thought that our large lantern would make a pretty centerpiece for the table.
The clock face was printed and fixed to a CD. The skating couple is a vintage greeting card that's been printed out & glittered, and I made the hat from a photocopy of vintage sheet music, and some vintage trims from my grandmother's stash.
The pinecones are from my mothers yard, and have been dusted with gold paint to add just a bit of shimmer.
It's amazing, what just a few simple supplies and a little bit of time can do to brighten a house up! I challenged myself this time to stay within a $20 budget and managed to come in JUST under that budget! As we enter the new year, I look forward to sharing many more fun decorations!
