My house is speaking to me.

Its saying, buy a douglas fur and stick it riiiighhhht here.

Dig out that bin marked Christmas from the garage.

You know the one at the VERY bottom of that huge stack of CRAZY

heavy plastic bins.

Oh and do not forget to hang the stockings with some stairway cheer.

But thats not all its saying.

Cause I am super creatively awesome {wink, wink}, I came up with a

fun way to use holiday words to decorate.

Here is what you need:

- Felt {both soft and stiff at least one sheet of each for each word}

- Scissors

- Printed Words

- Glue {fabric or felt glue}

- Pen

step 1:

print your words out. I used honey script, I love the retro feel of it. I printed them in word

at 400.

step 2:

cut your words out, snipping the letters you need to cut the center out of.

step 3:

trace the letters upside down on the soft felt.

step 4: cut the letters out, snipping the letters to cut the centers out.

step 5:

place a small bead of glue on the letters you had to cut the centers out of and glue them back together.

step 6:

glue the words onto the stiff felt. and cut around them leaving just a glimpse of the background felt showing.

Now you have the perfect accent to add your decorating.

Here is how our house spells Christmas...

I have some more cut to stick in the tree. And other finishing touches to add, you know once that bin makes a magical appearance.

Tis the season for decorating.

I would love to see what you have going on, link up!

Chaperoning a field trip this morning, so be back later with the winners from yesterday!
