Happy December!


 
Don't you love my Christmas card Christmas tree? Complete with popcorn garland!
Simply present tags and stamps! Easy and precious ornaments in ten seconds!
 
 Try my wrapping paper being just one dollar! I found this vintage-looking paper at....DOLLAR GENERAL! Yes, I am serious. I just add some twine and a cute tag to finish it up.
 

I made these bottles from some leftover wine bottles from a lovely visit with my mother. They are simply just wine bottles sprayed with metallic spray paint! They would be super cute with some long pine needles (advice from my adorable mom).

I made the stockings myself as well!  I traced an old stocking onto some burlap and added a 3/4 inch hem allowance around the edges of my tracing. I just folded in the top edge and sewed on a trim (that was on sale!). I actually had to iron my burlap once I had it completely sewn and flipped it inside out. The ironing allowed me to shape the burlap much better and made the trimming easier.
