More Christmas fun!

A few more Christmas goodies to show you! I just adore those vintage little Putz houses and wanted to duplicate the look only on a bigger scale. I didn't really want to put together my own, so I purchased a paper mache one I found at my local craft store. I decorated it with sheet music, lace and some candy cane colored pipe cleaners that I tea dyed.

Here is a centerpiece I made from several found goodies from Goodwill. The bird had a very ugly brown ceramic crackled finish on it. I sanded it and painted it with about 10 coats of white paint. It then got a thick coat of white glitter and laid to rest on a nest of spanish moss. I used a candlestick to elevate it and made a wire cloche out of 16 gauge wire. Lastly, I attached an altered snowflake on the front and voila!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
