Personalize Christmas Stocking

I have this small strip of a wall next to my front door. I've never known what to do with it or what to put there. While trying to think outside of the box for Christmas decorations I thought of this stocking that could be personalized. A friend of mine made a really large one that hung on her door. 

Personalized Gingerbread Men Family

These were the other personalized families I offered at Christmas. They were just as liked as the ornament. I actually ended up adding little pink bows on the girls in my family which made it even cuter! But I never got another picture before I packed these away. 

Personalized Ornament Family

I was so torn at Christmas time on what to make for the personalized family blocks. So I made two! I sold them between my craft groups and on fb and they were equally popular and evenly ordered. So I'm glad I offered both!!

These ornaments were so easy and super cute. I love them. 

Christmas Arrows

I saw these arrows on Pinterest and knew I had to make them. Oh my gosh I loved it so much more once it was completed. And it was the perfect addition to my front porch. And the best is when you get a lot of compliments and orders. You know you're doing something right. :) 

Hanging Gingerbread Man

After the turkey at thanksgiving I wanted something similar for Christmas. Ah the gingerbread man. He's super cute. And again- it broke up the Santa, snowmen, red and green that was taking up my house. :)

3 Present Set

I kept scouring and looking for something other than Santa, snowmen, etc... for my Christmas crafts and I saw Christmas presents online and put my own twist on them. Very fun and festive!

Nativity scene board

I love all the snowmen, Santa clause, red, and green that surround during Christmas time but I try to find a good balance. Obviously Santa is fun but we want our kids to know why we have the presents, tree, etc... This board was a great addition to my Christmas stuff. 

Santa Clause is Coming to Town Board

A friend saw this on Pinterest and suggested I make it with my Christmas crafts. She was the only one who ordered it but I loved mine so it was fine by me! I always love suggestions on crafts. It helps me think outside of the box. My oldest would look at this every morning and read it out loud. The perfect reminder to be extra good during the Christmas season. 

Christ Advent Calendar for Christmas

On a whim a Friend and I got together to make these Christmas advent calendars. They were extremely time consuming but not complicated at all. It helped us to focus on the true meaning of the Christmas season. And the kids loved flipping the squares every day to see a new depiction of Christ.

White Elephant Gift

Church had ended and my family and I were walking out and a friend grabbed me and said she had a white elephant party the following evening and wondered if I could make something for her to give. I told her as long as it was simple. She sent me a text later with a very simple statement. And it took me all of ten minutes to whip it up. 

Nativity Set

My sister in laws mother in law has a nativity set that she just loves. Unfortunately it's 30+ years old. The manger was chipped, the camel had what looked like dog chew bites on it. She wanted a new set and gave me her original one to use as a pattern. I ended up selling 5 of these sets, unintentionally, it was only to people who saw my sister in laws set for her mother in law. 

Next year I plan to sell them with my Christmas crafts.

Christmas Tree

Yes I took the photo crooked but I guarantee the tree sits straight. A lady who has bought crafts from me in the past saw a picture of a tree that looks similar to this on a friends page on fb. She asked if I could make it for her. Mine turned out identical. Except for the star. But she didn't like the star on the other one anyways. 

Christmas Plaque

These words go on the other side of the large Thanksgiving plaque I made. It sits outside by my front door. It's a beautiful reminder of what's so great about this time of year. And yes, mine is totally crooked.

Santa Wreath

I love love love this wreath. The original version I saw was made of burlap. My last two wreaths were made of burlap so I wanted something different, but when I went to Hobby Lobby they had a minimal amount of red burlap and said it was back ordered 3 weeks, so I figured I could switch it up a little bit. I used red felt and made the belt with burlap and scrapbook paper. Super cute!

My sister in law ordered one but thought it needed a little something. So I added Ho Ho Ho to it. Very nice touch!

Kit includes: wreath, felt cut into 2" squares, straight pins, ribbon for hanging, black burlap, and precut belt buckle. (if you want the letters those will be included too)

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

When I made this, I originally used silver vinyl because I have a plethora of it, and figured it's perfect for stencils. So my original plan was to use a red board and paint white letters on it. But after webbing the vinyl I liked the way it looked. All silvery and shiney. So I left it how it was and added it to a white piece of wood. :)

Kit includes- wood, vinyl, ribbon, and thumb tacs
