DIY and Crafts — christmas

Now that it is officially after Thanksgiving, I feel like I can jump head first into all the Christmas fun! While I have been posting tons of fun Holiday crafts since November 1st, now I feel like I officially have the green light! These DIY abstract geometric colorful wood ornaments were inspired by the organic shaped clay and acrylic earrings I see popping up on everyone lately. I love the geometric shapes and colors of them so much that I used my Glowforge to laser cut large wood pieces to make my own ornaments. Now I have a set of the prettiest...

Do you remember my marbled pumpkins from Halloween? Well, I took the same technique and applied it to these unfinished ceramic ornaments I found at Oriental Trading and created the prettiest marbled ornaments ever!

The process is pretty simple and doesn’t take complex sewing knowledge, but you will need a sewing machine to make your own DIY rainbow striped Christmas stockings. Is that not the cutest stocking ever?! Materials to...

I told you a few weeks ago that I was all about the paper mache cones this year for my Christmas crafting. These DIY modern tiered ombre Christmas trees are the last of the three ways that I used them this year. First, I made the glittery striped cone trees, then the ruffled tulle trees.

Plus, they are super simple to make and can be displayed stacked or unstacked for two completely different looks. The gold edge really adds a unique and modern look. You’d...
