Dollar Tree Stocking Ornaments
Dollar Tree Stocking Ornaments Pin me! – Pinterest Watch me! – YouTube We are now moving into all things Christmas here at BurlapKitchen.com. As I said before, I like to get Christmas DIY’s out early so you have plenty of time to make them all! I found these felt stockings at the Dollar Tree and I knew I wanted to do something with them. They make the perfect stencil! The felt was a little too flimsy for what I wanted to do so I decided just to trace them. I used some cardboard from my last Sams Club trip.

Scrap wood photo Block
Scrap Wood Photo Block Pin me! – Pinterest This year for Christmas I plan on making little gift baskets for friends and family. These scrap wood photos are going to be the perfect, inexpensive gift to add to each basket. I have tons of scrap wood down in my garage and I buy Mod Podge in bulk. I decided to use chalk paint because I prefer the looks of it, but I think you could totally get away with using acrylic paints too. Not only are these easy to make but they also are quick to make. Let me show you how! Materials: Piece of scrap wood Black &…

Flour Sack Pumpkin
Flour Sack Pumpkins Pin me! – Pinterest I’m always looking for cute inexpensive ways to decorate my home. I came across these flour sacks at Walmart and thought they would make adorable pumpkins, I was right! These were so easy to make and 1 pack of flour sacks will make at LEAST 5 pumpkins. You could always cut the sacks down to make different sized pumpkins. *TIP– I originally found the flour sacks in the craft department. I want to say they were something like 3 for $5. After walking around Walmart for a little a found a 5 pack of flour sacks for $5 in with the tea towels.…
