Mesh Christmas Tree Door Decoration

  I got the idea from Pinterest

Sisak Photo

There were several photos  done by various makers. 

Mine isn't exactly like the Pinterest models and the ornaments are placed "differently" but, who wants to be like everybody else?🙃 I'm pleased with the outcome.

That's it 🎄🎄🎄

Update  :12/18/2024 

The ornaments are a little more orderly.

 

Wreath? Rectangleth?

 

Thanks to GJ and her husband MJ for cutting the stick I needed for the branch.👍

Wreath - means round/circular.  This one isn't. It's a rectangle. So is it a Rectangleth? Never heard that word before. I'll leave it at Door Decoration (DD).

It's fall, one of my favorite seasons.  I wanted to use up some of my craft stash (so that I can buy more 😄) and free up space in my crafting area.

It didn't look full enough so I brought it back in.

😞  No

Fuller  and better . I like it.

Just needed a little more fluff

Happy Fall Everyone!

Decorative Ribbon Tassel- Part 2

I was going for a mosaic look using food color dyed egg shells by means of a process that worked perfectly when I used eggshells on a mosaic bracelet I made.    I guess foam orbs aren't made for that.  

mosaic bracelet from egg shells and cardboard 

After trying to save the orb, it went the way of other failures.

Take 2   ACTION >>>>>>

Since I had 3 foam balls in the pack, I started over by painting the foam ball with a gold acrylic. Let dry. Then I mixed a little  green glitter  in Mod Podge and painted the ball. Let dry. Since I was using blue ribbons also, I decided to go over the green with a little blue glitter mixed in Mod Podge, hoping both colors would show through as well as a little gold

As you can see, It's more blue than green. 

I also added a collar of upholstery corded beads in green and blue. I finished off the lower collar with a little fancy green stitching.

I added additional beads to some of the cords
similar to what I'd seen on the inspiration tassels  I'd seen in Hobby Lobby. 

I used a LARGE needle and drove a much
smaller hole through the bottom on up to
the top and added more beads and tied on a ribbon. 

Lengthwise, before the ribbon

All done and satisfied finally with the outcome

Falling for fall

                                                                               (If you just want to see the pictures scroll down)

I enjoy fall. The changing of the leaves, the crisp weather.  Deciding to decorate my front door, I needed some inspiration.  I consulted Pinterest, YouTube, and Google.

I decided on a scarecrow decoration  similar to the one  I viewed at Jody’s Craft Room 

Materials

$Dollar Tree items included:

Cream colored straw hat (I painted it light brown)

Light orange raffia

Fall colored flowers and berries

Wire edged ribbon

Other Items I already had on hand

A pair of old black & white clip on earrings with backs removed.

Small orange pom pom balls

Paper flowers with pearl center.

Orange and beige earrings

Acrylic paint and brush

Hot glue and glue gun

Newspaper, plastic bag, heavy string (for stuffing and hanging)

 The hat was an ecru color but I choose to give it a wash with brown acrylic paint for more of a fall look. Though it looks like straw, 60% of its fiber is paper. So, it should not get extremely wet or you'll have paper pulp.

 

Items used for facial features

Hot glued the raffia for hair

I added earrings but, they don't show up on the finished product.

I admit I had problems making the bow.

The back of the hat with a stuffing of newspaper inside a plastic bag to add weight. A string to hang it on the door hook.

The finished product on the door at night.

Close up

I later went back and cut the hair shorter.  Have a wonderful fall.

THAT'S IT ***
