DIY christmas crafts!

This time of year always has me searching for cute, homey diy decor, but also easy and fast since I have a two year old to keep out of things. These are super simple, affordable, adorable crafts that I have around my house this year! If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'd love to help!
The first one is so easy! A mason jar snow-globe. I used a Ball Mason jar, went to the dollar store and got the cute frosted trees, a bag of fake snow at Joann's and closed it with a scrap piece of burlap!

This fake christmas tree sits in our bay window for passer-bys to see. It's made out of a metal tomato cage, I bought a 15ft garland from walmart for ten bucks and started wrapping! I started at the top and worked my way down, it gets a little spacey or bunched up in some spots but once you get it all wrapped, you can slide it around to fill in spots or space it out. Then I just took a regular ole strand of clear lights, wrapped to my hearts desire and took a scrap piece of burlap and wrapped that around too as a garland and voila! So simple!
When we hung our stockings this year, we hung them below a giant mirror in my living room. It really looked plain and boring so I decided to whip up something that only ended up taking about 30 minutes! I cut out a piece of burlap (if you can't already tell, I'm obsessed with this stuff) into a pennant shape and then used that as my template for the others. Once I had them all cut, I just used regular craft paint in white and hand painted some letters on there. Waited about five minutes for them to dry and then threaded a piece of jute through each one and there you have it! Super simple fast projects that add a little something to your holiday decor'. Hope you enjoy!
