Noel Ornaments

November 9, 2015~ Christmas, DIY and craft projects

It’s monday and you know what that means right?! Another round of the Canadian home decor and DIY bloggers’ christmas DIY gifts. Remember my peppermint vodka last week? Well this week I’m offering my noel ornaments.

I fell in love with the shape of these orbs and knew that I had to do something fun with them. I’m working more pink and rose gold into our decor this year, and these ornaments are the perfect vehicles for that!

It’s a super easy DIY, all you need is three complimentary paint colours. I went with gold, pink and red.

Materials list

3 complimentary paint colours
paper mache ornaments

Instructions

Step 1 – Paint one segment and its opposite segment in the same colour

Step 2- Repeat step 1 but with another colour

Step 3 – Repeat step 1 but with the final colour

Step 4 – Hand paint whatever greeting you wish! I chose “noel” because we live in French Canada so some good old french never hurt anyone.

Step 5 (Optional) – paint the year you’re giving the ornament on one of the segments. It’s an extra way to mark the year and place it in time many Christmas from now.

Make sure you touch up any lines to make sure everything is clean and good to go!

Someone asked if Bruce and Boots were still around Someone asked if Bruce and Boots were still around - yes they are! They’re just getting old, they’re tired of my antics, and honestly spend a good chunk of time sleeping. To be honest, who isn’t 😅 
Happy Friday?

Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Ch Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Champagne Oak flooring from @goldenselect is the one element (other than paint) that runs throughout our house! It’s a unifying element, and brings depth to each space, especially the ones built around neutrals. It’s waterproof, exceptionally durable (to pets and kids!) and easy to clean. It’s also the flooring we installed in our last home, so you know we love it!

AD: in the meantime, I’ve got @mrsmeyerscleandaycanada’s NEW Rain Water detergent to bridge the gap between snow storms and rain storms. 🧺 I use the liquid detergent to keep our clothes clean, smelling fresh, and in ship shape for all that life with a toddler throws our way.
