Gnome for the Holidays: Handmade Christmas Decor

Hello, Fun friends! We all know that during the Christmas season it can be hard to find time to create all of the projects we love.  However, sometimes that creative time is exactly what we need.  So, why not take a bit to create something to decorate your own home or to give to a loved one to decorate their home? We've a super fun idea that we think you're going to love as much as we do!

Isn't that just adorable?  It's super cute, a great color AND it's size is perfect for this time of year! So break out those House To Home Trio of Wooden Houses and pick the size that is perfect for you! Once you've done that you can give the entire house a coat of Beach Ball Acrylic Paint.  Once it's dry, we can add that fun snowflake using Whip Cream Acrylic Paint and our Winter Wonderland Stencil!  While we're at it, why not give the entire block some splatters of Sparkle Silk?  It'll really make the whole thing feel like snowflakes, don't you think? Let's add all the fun! As if that painting wasn't fun enough!]

Isn't he just too cute?  Love this gnome from our Gnome For The Holidays stamp set!  It's even better since it has a matching die set you can just cut out all of the fun shapes quickly and beautifully! Color that guy in with our Color Burst Pencils and maybe add a bit of Sparkle Silk to really make him shine! A little bit of Candy Apple Journey Twine gives the piece a bit of texture and really helps it pop! But you know we're not quite finished yet!

It's time for the last details.  Maybe your favorite sentiment from the Gnome For The Holidays Stamp Set and a red heart over a Pool Play Circle.  But don't forget the gem from the Holiday Sparkles Gems Embellishment Pack.  One of those little guys on the heart really brings it all together!

Do you have time to add a bit of cheer like this  piece we shared with you today?  Maybe you can keep it for yourself or slip it in with some handmade treats you give to you loved ones!  Either way, it's sure to bring a smile.  Make sure you share with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram when you create something fun & festive this holiday season.  We love seeing what you create!
