Thanks for all the great comments on the videos and for not laughing! Y’all are great sports. I really don’t enjoy seeing myself on camera all that much, but I guess my accent isn’t too bad. I know there are a lot worse right here in Ala-bammer!
I’ve had this little tree for a long time that I put on the cupboard in my kitchen, but I was a little bored with the angel motif on the outside of the tin that it sits in. It was cute, but not all that appealing with my colors in there, so I decided to break out the Mod Podge again. Got some pretty striped Christmas paper at Hobby Lobby (of course!) with bright and cheery colors.
Made myself a template and cut out four pieces, one for each side of the metal tin.
Mod Podged that baby and now it blends better with my reds and greens in the kitchen.
Last year I had all green ornaments, but they really got lost on the green tree, so red to the rescue. I’m loving how the tin turned out and it really shows up now. These pics were taken with my camera settings a little bit different, so they are a bit more glowy and yellowy than normal, but I like the effect for Christmas.
Mr. Nutcracker joins the parade, along with my glass pedestal and cloche with some tiny ice skaters underneath.
I just threw the rest of these green balls in a glass dish for now.
Here’s a regular shot of the kitchen tree.
I really love it this year! I got those mitten ornaments last year on clearance from Pike Nursery, who went out of business right after Christmas.
Love those sparkly greens.
And a cute little bunny ornament looks out from the top of the tree.Hope you enjoyed more Holiday cheer from my kitchen. I can’t wait to get around and see everyone else’s Christmas decor this year.
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
I swear. What would we do without scrapbook paper and Modge Podge? I was thinking it looked great before the paper! 🙂 It turned out wonderfully! Great decorating, once again!
It’s all so pretty! I *love* the red and green modpodges tree container! Have a great week! 🙂
Love how the tin turned out. I also love your ice skaters.
SO wonderful! I saw your comment over at Amanda’s Imperfectly Beautiful and when I read what your blog title was, I thoght “I really need to go visit that one!” I am going to add you to my blogs that I follow, I can’t wait to read more from you and see your decorating!
