24 Days of Christmas - Day 14 - Santa Wreath

 

You know I can't pass up a bargain. I bought 2 skeins of that thick fluffy yarn that seems to be the rage for 2023 during the summer. After finding the Dollar Tree metal wreath, I watched You Tube and looped my yarn through the spaces between the metal rings. I fell in love with its fluffiness!! I mean, it looks and feels like freshly-fallen snow (well, looks at least).

Then I trooped downstairs to be an over-sized ornament shaped like Santa's head and attached it with clear fishing line to hang in the center of the wreath.  I pulled miscellaneous items from my holiday crafting supplies and decided on various snowflakes, as well as a few pinecones, poinsettia flowers and a bird.

I like the white wreath against my mahogany door. It really pulls the eyes to it. I hope you like it too!!

31 Days of All Hallows Eve - Day 14 - Easy Shadow Box

 

I am having some spooky fun with the Dollar Store wooden signs I picked up from a thrift store earlier this year. Today, I created a very easy shadow box by taking off the front panel and using just the frame. I adhered a digital scene that I created in Adobe Photoshop with the following digital elements:                 Decosse's Dynamite Digitals, Eerie Scene paper

   Brooke Gazarek's White Skeleton elements

I also used a few small Halloween buttons from the Dollar Store (bats, cat & Tomb stone). To finish off this make, I hot glued some green floral stuff. Altogether this took me a little over an hour, including "setting the scene" in Photoshop. I think it was time well spent...
