Christmas in July: My Favorite Christmas DIY

It’s hard to choose my favorite, to be honest, because I have several favorites. After much debating and going back and forth I settled on my vintage style stockings.

I have admired all the vintage style stockings I see hanging on mantels and stair railings and all over the place around Christmas but I can rarely ever afford the ones I see and never seem to find any for a really great price so I did what I normally do when that happens. I make some.

They were super simple to make and I used some ticking striped fabric that I got on clearance so it barely cost me anything.

I’m pretty sure I am going to need to make some more. Maybe this year. Maybe out of old sweatersโ€ฆโ€ฆor velvetโ€ฆ..oh so many possibilities!

They go back up in the same spot every Christmas so far. They’re like a staple of my Christmas decor. To find the full tutorial on how to make them, click HERE

Now for the really fun partโ€ฆโ€ฆI thought I’d share my favorite Christmas DIY of Emily’s too!

Honestly it’s even harder to choose a favorite DIY of Emily’s than it is of my own because I love absolutely everything she creates. It’s no secret that I have long adored her little wooden winter forest though and every year I swear I am going to make one for myself.

Maybe this year it will happen.

Can you even believe that this pile of wood would turn into something so beautiful?

Maybe I should share a favorite DIY of Emily’s every day for a month. I might fit MOST of them in.

Amazing.

Until next time,
