diy christmas crafts

Just wanted to share a few quick and simple Christmas projects that I've been working on lately :)

{vintage sheet music candle}

Simply print your favorite sheet music onto tissue paper, then use a hairdryer (or other heat utensil) to melt the tissue paper into the pillar candle.

I'm sure most of you have seen the inspiration for this idea on Pinterest... 
Here is B's version :) Footprint art with a 13 month-old really isn't a small accomplishment!!

I also found these great vintage Santa and Christmas-inspired cards online, and I was so excited to find a way to fit them into our holiday decor. Two of them even have Christmas greetings in German! So, I thought they would be a great addition to this German household.

I decided a few of them would make excellent ornaments for our tree... I just printed them onto white card stock (x2), then I cut them out and used Modge Podge and white glitter to dress them up a little (the Modge Podge was used to stick them together so that they were also reversible), and of course I tested them out on our tree! I was very happy with how they turned out!

For the larger ones, I used some twine and mini-clothespins to hang them in our living room.

I hope you all are having just as much fun decorating for the Christmas season!! :)
