Holiday Wreath

December 6, 2013 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

This past week has been a mad dash to get all of my Christmas decorating done.  Today I am sharing my front door wreath.  I got this idea from a magazine last year.  So easy and super cute!

Christmas Countdown

November 21, 2013 By stylishrevamp 4 Comments

Today I am sharing with you, my homemade totally free Christmas Countdown sign.  Everything I used, I found around the house and the garage!

DIY Christmas Countdown

Don’t pay attention to the number of day until Christmas.  That is what the actual countdown was when I made the sign and I am not ready to know how many days are REALLY left until Christmas until I get through Thanksgiving first! Then I can begin to panic a bit because I already feel like I am behind.

The sign was really easy to make.  I found the wood in the garage left over from a previous project.  I sprayed the entire piece of wood with a silver spray paint which I used on a bottle cap project that you can find here. I also used the silver paint on my wine rack which I will share with you in a later post. Once the silver paint was dry, I used my vinyl letters to spell out Christmas Countdown and Days! I then used Pure White Chalk Paint from Annie Sloan to cover the entire piece.  Once that was good and dry, I used Emperors Silk Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to paint over the entire piece again.  While that was drying, I used a smaller piece of wood and sprayed it with chalkboard paint for the number part of the sign.  I then found one of our Christmas cards from last year and cut out the Santa.  When everything was dry, I peeled off the vinyl letters to reveal the silver paint beneath the letters.  I used wood glue to attach the chalkboard piece of wood to the sign. I then decoupaged the Santa to the sign and then gave the piece a light sanding so some of the white would show through the red. I think the sign is adorable and once I get my fall decorations down I can’t wait to decorate with it!

Driftwood Christmas Tree

November 14, 2013 By stylishrevamp 10 Comments

Design your own DIY Driftwood Christmas Tree/ Easy step by step process with materials list.

I love this time of year.  The weather is finally turning cold and I love getting ready for the Holidays.  I enjoy everything about it. Although, I think my favorite part is decorating the house and I have had this project on my mind since last year…

While I was out shopping with some friends, I saw a Driftwood Christmas Tree but it was $65.00.  I knew I could make my own version of it for a lot less.  Since then I have seen them in the Restoration Hardware Catalog ($79.00-$179.00) and The Home Decorators Collection Catalog ($63.00).  So here is my version of the Driftwood Christmas Tree.

My Supply List Includes:

Cardboard Cone Shape (I got mine from Michaels)

Driftwood

Hot glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Artificial Spray Snow

Driftwood Christmas Tree

It was pretty much the same process as the Driftwood Wreath which you can find here.  Some of the trees I saw, the driftwood was placed horizontally around the tree. For my first tree, I thought placing the driftwood vertically would be easier.  So I found similair size pieces and glued them around the base like this…

I continued adding pieces all the way around the base overlapping them as I moved up the tree.   I had to break  some of the driftwood into  smaller pieces just to get the right size.  It’s very easy to do and I like how each tree has it’s own character. This is what the tree looked like before I added the spray snow.

           This is a picture of it with the  spray snow.  I am not sure which one I like the best… with or with out the snow?
