Christmas Projects

Welcome to that busy time of year for crafting and making gifts for family and friends. So what better way to celebrate than to add a few Christmas craft projects to those that already on this website. As always, any of the projects on this blog are available. Here are some newer Christmas crafts I have available for this year. Of course, I also have all of the Christmas items I have done in the past as well at http://thevintagebarrel.blogspot.com/search/label/Christmas.

1. Believe in the Season Blocks - $5. These blocks are really cute. My sister made these last year and was kind enough to let me share them with you. They measure 4 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches. There will be a variety of paper to choose from. Hopefully, you will choose better than I did on your selection. The bottom block doesn't show up very well. I will change it.

2. Nativity Puzzle - $12. This is a puzzle of the nativity. Right now it is unfinished wood, however, it could be stained or painted and scruffed up on the edges. I received my inspiration from http://lapazfarm.homeschooljournal.net/.

3. Snow letters - $10. These letters I did a couple of years ago for a boutique, however, have never offered them for a craft night. The paper will vary upon your selection and the snowflake has a glitter on it. Hard to see in the picture.

4. HoHoHo letters - $13. These are my own creation. The santa hat has a textured white paint on it and the O's have a green glitter on the front.

5. Christmas Sayings Plaque - $13. Since the Be Grateful plaque was so popular, I thought I would do a Christmas one. These are so easy and just fun for Christmas. It measures 12x15 and the picture is shown in Apple Green, however, other colors are available upon request and the lettering is white vinyl.

6. His Presence Plaque - $13. I came across this saying the other day and fell in love with it. So I thought it would be perfect for a plaque. So this is what I came up with. It measures about 12x12. It is painted in barn red, however, other colors are available upon request and the lettering is white vinyl.

7. NOEL sign - $15. I saw this last year in a Pottery Barn magazine and LOVED it. It was one of those times that I immediately started my knock off version. It measures about 15x15 in size and is spray painted with an antique bronze color. I also did it with a red N-E-L and a white O. That was fun too.

8. Nativity Set - $18. One of my favorite sites to visit is http://undermypolkadotumbrella.blogspot.com/. This lady is very creative and is so kind to share her pattern for this nativity. There are 12 pieces to this nativity that have been painted a solid color and scruffed up. Since there are 12 pieces, this would be a great gift to give one piece each night for the 12 Days of Christmas.


I hope that you like the crafts available. I will get more measurements on here as soon as I can. Please let me know if you would like to do a craft night, like me to send you finished crafts or unfinished crafts in the mail (All finished products are an addition $5 per craft) or if you have any questions. My e-mail is kmennear@msn.com .
