More Snowflake Christmas decor

I found a few other snowflakes at the local dollar store and knew that I needed something to hang in the the front windows of our house for our house. I was inspired by this Pin: http://pinterest.com/pin/56576539040401717/

for my window decorations I made mirror images so one window will have the big blue snowflake on the bottom right and the next window will have the big blue snowflake on the bottom left.

I just used hot glue to attach all the snowflakes to the big clear snowflake.

Supper cute and cheap! The white snowflakes came 10 for $1.00 and the big blue ones came 2 for $1.00. The big clear ones are $1.00 each and the small dark blue ones where left over from the snowflake wreath that I made. I can't wait to see them in the windows with spot lights on them! :)

Love how fast this went together! I think I have to go to the dollar store more often!

Brrrr it is cold outside- Snowflake Wreath

I have not been spending enough time in my craft room. Now, that it's cold I should have more time to enjoy my wonderful craft room. As you all might know I'm a big fan of Pinterest and I love to pick out one of my pins and try to make it :) This time I tackled something that I have been obsessed with for awhile. Every time is see the pin I keep thinking I MUST make that one!

One day I found myself at a local dollar store and there where white snowflakes (10 for $1.00- YES!) Then found blue snowflakes at Jo-Ann's. I know they where not as cheap but I love that combo of colors (Most of my Christmas decor is white/ blue snowflakes). I also got the tulle at Jo-Ann's. I wanted the glitter tulle so it had more sparkle but, they didn't have any...I came up with a way to make it sparkle!;)

I really enjoyed putting this wreath together and I LOVE, LOVE how it looks!!!! It makes me smile every time is see it!! I'm thinking about adding more to it but I'm not sure. If I change it I will post the updated pics.

I used White and Blue Tulle and added glitter to the tulle :) I SO, SO can't wait to hang it on our front door!!!

Halloween Decor for the fireplace

I needed something for over the fireplace for the halloween party I was hosting.  I had pinned this idea of faces on the wall that I was totally going put mine on a wall. Then I realized that was going to take a ton of mask for my walls and I didn't have that much time. I came up with the idea to cover the large space over the fireplace with the mask and it worked out great!

I got a bunch of mask from Michael's and found the Martha Stewart- Multi-surface Glow- in- dark Acrylic craft paint. It was fast to paint the mask. I think I ended up with two coasts for each mask.

The big issue was how to put them on the wall without actually having them stay forever. :) I had a very large sheet of foam insulation that I cut to just fit in the space over the fireplace. I covered with cheap black table cover and used straight pins in the mask to keep them on the foam insulation. I used the velcro command strips to hang the black lights on the side of the fire place... Loved it!

It would have been so good of me to take a photo of all the mask but it looks like I didn't do that :(
