Bit of Craft

Its been a while since I've shown you a craft make of mine on here - manly because i haven't had time to scratch my butt let alone get my craft on.

Well I finally got the mod podge back out to make a couple of Cath Kidston print decs for the tree. I admit I am loving CK's bird print on the Christmas collection but alas not that keen on the price tag.

So I bought myself some wooden tree shapes at a craft shop and painted them white:



And with a packet of Cath Kidston bird print napkins and some mod podge I have myself a couple more tree decorations:



Now I just need to get the Christmas tree up!

Anyone else not got the decorations and tree up yet?


Love to you all

    We did the instant tree this because we = lazy! My nephew loves it so thats a bonus. These are some of the most adorable decorations I've seen. They will look lovely on your tree when you get it up!

    You are mod podge Queen, you are. And a genius - but I'm always saying that. Love those decs. Excellent job. We do have our decs up. Jim and dd put them up while I was out this week. Which is good because I have tantrums if I have to put up the decs (I really do...). Have a wonderful weekend. xx

    Those are beauties, you are indeed the Mod Podge queen! I might go and deck the halls with holly and ivy next weekend if I don't get a better offer. x

    Very cute! A rare Kidston thumbs up from me. Surprise surprise, I haven't trimmed up yet. My house has no spare wall, floor or shelf space so my decorations always look a bit out of place.
    I'd love to perfect that home made look with a real tree, wreath, paper chains etc. One day. When I have my dream house!
    Have a brilliant weekend hun x

    Like Luce, I'm giving them the thumbs up despite the CK print - I'm a lot more forgiving of cute on Christmas decorations! You've done a brilliant job, and so much cheaper than buying from the lady herself. More Christmas crap from me coming up!

    I don't have my tree up yet. I wait until after the 10th to decorate unlike my son-in-law who decorates the day after Thanksgiving. That's way too early for me.

    Your decorations look lovely. Who needs a Christmas tree, they look great just by themselves. Aren't you clever.

    My husband usually goes to get one about 3 or 4 days before Christmas.

    Stop it, stop it right now - I cannot stand another MUST TRY idea for Christmas decorating. I LOVE those trees. Now no napkins or wooden surfaces are safe in my home.

    Those little trees are really pretty, clever you!
    And no, we don't have the decs/tree up yet. Got to tidy up first to make space and THAT, my friend, is One Big Job... It will get done but not this weekend, I fear! xxxxxxxx

    What a fab idea! I may give these a go. I think they would make great little gift tags for pressies, that the receiver can use afterwards as a decoration. Off to buy some napkins and find my mod podge (hidden somewhere in this house of mine, I sure).
    Have a nice weekend

    Gorgeous make! I'm definitely in the pro-CK camp, so I'm loving the pattern of these trees, and think that you've come up trumps with using napkins for a cheaper alternative!

    No tree up at mine, but then we dont really have room for one....but no decs out at all yet, mainly because I vetoed the idea of getting them out today...well, it was raining and they live in the garage!
