white green christmas diy
November 29, 2010 Back to blogging > and should have posted this weeks ago. Now I have so much to share I'll be posting like mad!
First time decorating for Christmas since high school—and loving the results! Many of my ornaments are DIY, using pinecones, paper, and fabric-wrapped balls. I still spent more than I'd hoped {mission fail}. And still undecided about the tree topper....but I prefer it over store ones I've seen. It'll do this year.
Also, I must add that pre-lit trees are from the devil. Worst idea ever—considering they lasted a whole of 3 hours, followed by my attempted fix taking another 4.
One more thing! My outdoor wreath below, LOVE LOVE. It's the DIY from Creature Comforts. Best 5 min - $3 DIY ever attempted. Ez's Christmas DIY posts have been AMAZING.
Okay ONE MORE note. I'll post the super simple wreath and tree skirt later this week (trying to pack in all these Christmas posts now!), so don't change that channel!

Love the green and white palette. And, your handmade ornaments are fantastic!!
I love the wreath in your window! It's soo pretty and chic!
Love your impromptu mantel and the tree looks great! I got porch trees pre-lit and decided they too weren't worth it. I practically had to unstring them and re-string them because it was such a bad job.
love the homemade decorations and the mantle. nice work!
It all looks so cozy and authentic. It's a wonderful room. I can imagine curling up on that chair with a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Can't wait to see more. I would LOVE to know how you made the ornaments!
Thanks for sharing.
Love these ideas and the pictures are so fabulous!!
This is gorgeous!! How did you make the tree topper? Love it.
