I bet you see these mini molds at thrift stores all the time. I know I do--so I decided to make silver bells, silver bells.. Earlier this fall, I was inspired to use larger copper molds for a repurposed pumpkin patch. When I kept seeing these minis, I thought it would be fun to recreate them for Christmas. I used two slightly different sizes, stacked to give them a bell like appearance and then hot glued them. Last I glued ribbon for hanging and added little jingle bells underneath.…

To quote Miles Finch from the movie Elf, “I’ve got one idea that I’m especially psyched out of my mind about. Ya’ know, it’s one of those ideas where you’re just like, YES!” This sums up how I feel about today's project! My Lowe's Creative Ideas Blogger challenge this month was to create holiday decor using some items from Lowe's. I came up with the idea to create DIY Oversized Ornaments using light globes, tuna cans, and eye hooks. Oh my! You won't believe how great this project looks…

When I spotted a birdcage at the scrap yard some months ago, I didn’t want to show my excitement but I was surely thrilled.

For Christmas I just put some baubles and other decorative pieces inside and a silver birdie on top. Now we turn to another of my multiple Christmas personalities, lol. I do love the rather girlie birdcage…

Over the last weeks I pinned a lot of trees to my Christmas board, which are made from junk pieces, found objects, scrap wood etc. These pins inspired me to create my own junk tree versions. In my collection of vintage books I found several pretty spines in different sizes that were partly torn or ripped off. I cut them off and glued them onto a background that dear hubby had hammered from pallet wood together for me. Usually I don’t like gold very much but I adore these beautiful embossed…
