Christmas Crafts

We have some shelves in our living room that I took all the decorations off of and was going to decorate put some Christmas decorations up there. I had it all pictured in my head and was going to make all of them, but they sat empty for most of the month! Such a procrastinator! But I am not a complete loss... I did some of then earlier this week! I had bought a nativity from the Wood Connection while ago and some vinyl from a gal that lives out here to put on some wood plaques.

Here is the first craft, and the easiest! I just put the vinyl on a 12" tile that I picked up from Lowes. So easy, but I love it so much.

Next I bought a 12" by 48" board also from Lowes and had them cut it down. I painted it off white and sanded the edges and parts of the board. Applied the next set of vinyl and done! The last one I did was just as easy but a little more time consuming because there were more pieces. Just painted them all black, and the star off white. Then sanded the figures a bit to give them some texture. Glued the star to the stable and tied some raffia on the manger.
I put some vinyl also on the wall to kind of fill in some empty wall space, I usually have a picture in the spot so it should cover it if I choose to leave it up.

SO there are my Christmas crafts that I have done this year... not everything that I wanted to get done though. Hopefully next year I will be more on the ball and get the rest done BEFORE the week of Christmas!
