Who doesn't love flipping through their Pottery Barn catalog when it arrives in the mail. I do. It is so fun to see the amazing styling and design ideas. I especially love their lighting -- which I buy for many clients --and their holiday decor is always a blast to check out. So I made a few things that reminded me of their great holiday style -- using some yarn, fabric, pine cones, acorns...and some other goodies I found -- I created a Do-It-Yourself holiday wreath, mantel decor, table settings and personalized custom made wrapping paper! Hope you have fun making some of these too! Happy Holidays... DIY style! HoHoHo...Joanne
Pom Pom Garland -- how much fun was this to make with my mom and daughter.
It is so easy to make an acorn cap heart. All you need is a drill and a stiff piece of copper wire. Add in some vintage brackets, pieces of old porch post (sprayed gold) and some vintage metal fencing and mini wheel -- and voila -- you have a gorgeous country living display.
Old jewelry pieces turned into ornaments. I did this DIY's for DIY NETWORK. One of the many holiday projects I did for them.
Table decor inspired by an apothecary look...These acorn lights are from Gardener's Supply Catalog -- a company I style for. Love them!!
On my trip to Florida a couple of weeks ago, my Mom and I went shell hunting. We could not believe our luck when we found all these (it was after the super moon...). Add some faux leaves and berries and created a fun Christmas table display for her Florida home.
This plaid feather wreath was easy. Cardboard wrapped in plaid wool fabric. glue on. Then add some painted white pine cones and then feathers. Love this project.
Add some pictures to a a poster board then bring it to your local blueprints shop -- and have them print them out on large blueprint paper...Instant personalized wrapping paper!
Many years ago, I made this driftwood wreath for DIY NETWORK -- it is still in style today. Photo by Susan Teare. Step by Step instructions on DIY NETWORK.;
Another popular DIY NETWORK project. A birch bark wreath. So easy to make.
And who can forget my vintage inspired sign...Joy -- which I still put out every year! Step by Step on DIY NETWORK.
GREAT GIFT IDEA FOR THE HOLIDAYS... :)
