As a Blogger one's mind is torn in all directions at the inspirational DIY ideas on the web. Today I want to share some holiday diy inspiration and some free printables. I have placed links to the tutorials or downloads beneath the images.
Above: Create a festive tree, these could be used as place names, you could write a name at an angle across one side. If you then went over the letters with a fine PVA pen you could sprinkle glitter onto the name. Please hop over to Rose et Vert for the pattern and instructions for the tree
And a selection of printables....
Above: I love these quirky name tags, free to print out from Kelli Murray. Kelly also has an Etsy shop, Kelli Murray Art where you can find a range of her cards and prints.
Above: Another free printable from Lil Luna, this would look lovely framed simply as above, or you could use it to create some Christmas cards....download over at Lil Luna
Above: I first heard of German 'glass glitter' at Miss Mustard Seed's Blog. Marian imports this beautiful glitter, available in a range of colours for so many creative ideas.
Above: Marian bought dollar shop plastic animals and gave them a glittering new life....see how over at Miss Mustard Seed
Above: The tips of these pine cones were treated with Marians glass glitter, hop over to Miss Mustard Seed to see how.

Above: Create this pretty Rosemary wreath from The Pretty Blog
Above: Create this pine cone tree with easy instructions from I Fall In Chocolate
Above: DIY ornaments from Magnolia Homes. What I love about these little ornaments is that the icing is not perfect, yet to me they look much cuter than something that has been iced to perfection.
Above: I love these chocolate bark gift tags, such a clever idea don't you think! Hop over to Wilton for ingredients and how to.
I hope you have enjoyed these discoveries. Last week I shared a wonderful book called Christmas At Home, by Sandra Kaminski photographed by Geoff Hedley. This wonderful book is full of fabulous ideas for Christmas. I have been so inspired I wanted to share it with everyone and dedicated a full post. I have been emailed about where this book is available, there is a link in my previous post, however, it can be bought through Whitcoulls stores as one reader informed me.
If you would like more free printables, visit my Pinterest board below.
Love all these ideas Lee, so simple too some of them.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get myself going, can't seem to get motivated this year. Not even a tree up - but then my excuse is the new puppy would chew it all LOL. Maybe this weekend i'll do a christmas craft and get the house all christmasy.
Merry Christmas

I am really late too Jane, I am meant to be doing some baking today. My decor is almost finished but I am a little behind with that to. Yes a good idea to get into the Christmas spirit this weekend and decorate your house. You will just have to hang things high so puppy won't be able to reach. Have a great Christmas.
