Well I finally have all remnants of Christmas decorations purged from my house (I think), and I am having troubles figuring out what to decorate for next. The stores are all full of Valentines Day stuff, but I am not feeling VALENTINE-EY yet. I had a naked mantle for a few days, but it really started to bother me after a while. SOOOO I decided I NEEDED to figure out something WINTER-ey, but without the Christmas stuff mixed in. SOOOO I went back to the basics....pre-school style.
I found
THIS site that had templates for snowflakes and it worked like a champ. Perfect snowflakes and SUPER easy. I added a few snowflakes onto a long piece of embroidery thread and VOILA...a WINTER banner.
I also found YET another way to FREE-ly use a free printable from PINTEREST. There are so darn many on there, I just cannot resist them. I decided on
THIS one...since most of my extra winter decor ended up being snowmen. I printed it out. grabbed some scrapbooking paper. And THEN I taped the scrapbooking paper to the cover of a book. I used a childrens' book because I like the short stocky shape. It works great because it stands up on its own and is nice and hard and sturdy.
I also cut a thin strip and taped it to the spine to cover up the writing. I think THIS is my favorite method so far. Free, easy, and EVERYTHING I need is right in my house. PERFECT!!!
SOOO I have successfully made it look like winter INSIDE my house, but the OUTSIDE is not quite as easy to convice:)
