MERRY Christmas Banner

Christmas is just days away and I wanted to share my last
handmade holiday decorations.....

My "MERRY" Christmas Banner was super easy to make!!
The base of my banner consists of:
a bit of CCB Ticking
7gypsies Vintage Pennant ~ Holiday Table
and a length of vintage trim


I then created a layers of
and
Hunter Green Burlap

I added Avocado ~ Small Clothespins and loved 'em!


The ends of the banner were adorned with berry picks,
local pinecones and pieces of garland
topped with a burgundy burlap bow.



I case you missed my Christmas Stocking.....

I WANT TO WISH ALL MY FRIENDS
a Very MERRRRY Christmas
and a WONDERFUL Holiday season!

MERRY Christmas to YOU!!

Hello my friends.....I don't know about you but
I've been on a roll pumping out Christmas Decorations.
You see all of my decorations from "christmas past" are
packed away in my storage unit,
and I can't get to them.... (POOR PLANNING on my behalf!)
....and I just can't make it through this season with our ANYTHING!
So here is one of them..........

I did add my current favorite CCB paper Red & Kraft Ribbon Stripe

I tried to capture the Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glam ~ Chandelier
.....it didn't work, but it sure is pretty in real life!

I painted Santa's beard, hat and the bottom of his britches
with the Chandelier Glimmer Glam
Can I say.......it just shimmer in the Christmas lights.
If you look closely you can vaguely
see the snowflakes I stenciled onto the CCB Large Stocking
