Creating Holiday Decorations

I do not do many “craft items” other than creating Christmas wreaths and swags for the various areas of my home and some that I have made for a Artisan/Craft show in our community. In the last couple of years I made several felted wool santas (sewn by hand) in various colors and sizes and some beaded crystal ornaments that I made at our “Crafty Chicks” group. The following are some wreaths and other decorative holiday items.

The felted wool santas. A friend of mine bought wool items from various thrift stores and did the process of felting the wool.

I made this wreath utilizing green organza-esque ribbon and package picks.

I made this wreath utilizing the same green ribbon in the other bathroom and added hydrangeas, gold-wired willow like strands, berries and florals.

I took this glass ornament with the snowflake pattern and added twigs to give it more of a woodland feel for the “woodland mantle”..

Basically my “craft projects” consists of floral wreaths and swags and an ornament here and there.
