DIY Home Decor - Winter Scene Vase Decor

DIY Home Decor - Winter Scene Vase Decor


Create this unique vase decor with a silhouette winter scene! Perfect for a holiday mantel or for gifting along with some baked goods. Easy to make!


Supplies:

cylinder-dollar-store-vase

First, look for a cylindrical vase. There’s a ton of these at dollar stores, so they definitely won’t break the bank. I picked mine up at Dollarama – a Canadian dollar store and they were really inexpensive.

Clean the surface with some alcohol and tissue paper to ensure it’s free of dust and lint.

cut-out-houses-silhouette

Measure the circumference of your vase, and size the width of your winter scene according to it.

Now, cut out your winter scene. You can definitely sketch this out and cut it by hand using a craft knife, but if you own an electronic die cutter (such as a Silhouette), it’s much easier!

Once done cutting, adhere it to the vase with some Mod Podge Matte, and then coat it with another layer after everything has been stuck on. Wait for that to dry.

apply-sparkle-mod-podge

After it dries, it’s time to add some fun sparkles! I used Sparkle Mod Podge to create the effect by brushing the sparkly Mod Podge only on the bare areas (where there is no black). A few layers would be great as you want to build up the sparkle effect.

Last but not the least, I added some snow detail using a ball tool and some acrylic paint. This would be the most time-consuming part but I swear it’s easy, specially if you’re watching a funny Christmas movie 😛

Once that is dry, add a coat of Hard Coat Mod Podge to seal everything and you are done!

Stuff the inside of your vase decor with some homemade treats or even some chocolates and candy cane and you’re ready to give it to your friends and co-workers!

Tip: a tea light or small candle inside this looks sooooo awesome. So have fun and create this easy gift idea for friends and family

DIY BEGINNER MACRAME GARLAND

DIY BEGINNER MACRAME GARLAND MATERIALS NEEDED: macrame yarn (I use this one  HERE  and  HERE ) sharp scissors (I like using haircutting scissors) wood beads (I used these  HERE  and some slightly larger ones I had, I lied alternating slightly different sizes) hair comb (if you want to brush out the edges again) INSTRUCTIONS: I made another video which you can see below and you can also follow my step-by-step instructions as described with the photos:   For my garland, I used 23 wooden beads threaded on a 10-foot piece of macrame cord. I wanted it to belong so I could possibly use it on a Christmas tree shortly. For my length of garland, you need to knot 22 small pieces of macrame altogether. And when you make one piece of macrame in-between the above wood beads you need to cut 6 pieces of 40-inch macrame yarn which you then have to repeat 22 times or however long you want your garland. I had to cut 132 pieces of 40-inch macrame yarn strings. Does that make ...
