Burlap and Plaid Christmas Wreath

December 9, 2014 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

So, November totally flew by! It was like I packaged up the Halloween decorations and now I am pulling out my snowmen and Christmas items. This blog started with the making of a wreath {and then a ton of wreathes after that} so I like to be sure and share the newest wreath I make each year for Christmas. This year, I am going for a pretty traditional and rustic feel so my burlap and plaid Christmas wreath fits in perfectly.

A simple burlap and plaid Christmas wreath is so easy to make and looks beautiful.

Easy Glitter Christmas Ornaments

November 20, 2014 By Shannah Coe 11 Comments

We are really into Christmas and literally change the decorations in pretty much every part of our home for Christmas.  We have about five Christmas trees of different sizes around the house.  We even take down artwork and put up Christmas decorations instead.  I’d probably change out pieces of furniture too if Mathlete wouldn’t give me a hard time about it!  This year, I decided to add a little Christmas sparkle to our paper mache tree and made some super easy glitter Christmas ornaments to hang on it.

Homemade Christmas Trees

December 19, 2013 By Shannah Coe 17 Comments

It was my pleasure to partner with Make It:Fun and FloraCraft® to share a “Foam for the Holidays” homemade Christmas tree project with you.

Decorating with small, homemade Christmas trees can be super easy but make a big impact.  When you create your own, there is so much versatility for how your final product will look.  I’ve decorated my own trees over several years using scrapbook paper, tinsel and even just glitter.  Using STYROFOAM™ cones makes creating homemade Christmas trees so easy.Styrofoam Tree Collage…

50 Fantastic Christmas and Winter Craft Ideas

December 18, 2013 By Shannah Coe 2 Comments

Wow, December has certainly come in quickly! I can hardly believe we are close to a week before Christmas.  We took a trip to New York City earlier in the month and, ever since then, it feels like days go by in twos.  My head is totally spinning with the thought of wrapping presents, cooking Christmas dinner and entertaining my kids during their winter break!  I went searching for some craft ideas to do with my daughter while she was home and ended up putting together a collection of 50 fantastic Christmas and Winter craft ideas.  They aren’t all kid friendly but they are all awesome and worth checking out!

Easy Mod Podge Christmas Decoration

December 9, 2013 By Shannah Coe 7 Comments

Christmas decorating is pretty much my favorite thing to do in our home each and every year.  It takes me at least a week to get everything out and I am always looking to add new things to our existing items.  Of course, I am also looking to keep our spending in check so I find myself making things a lot more than I used to.  Plus, I am pushing myself to work with new craft tools or ones that I’ve been pretty unsuccessful with in the past.  I knew I wanted to add some more Christmas words to our decor so I created this easy mod podge Christmas decoration one afternoon.
