I came across a fantastic site that I thought I’d share here…Hope Studios.  The last few posts on Christmas decorating are terrific…great craft ideas and absolutely beautiful decorations.  The picture of the wreath above is from Jennifer’s post on making an ornament wreath.  Enjoy!

Looking for some beautiful, fun, and inexpensive decorating ideas?  Christmas ball ornaments are a great place to start.  They look great on trees, wreaths, and garlands with no additional work necessary.  But with just a little bit of dressing up they’re perfect for do-it-yourself Christmas crafts.  One very simple idea is to string ball ornaments together to make ornament garlands.  And here’s a great guide from Better Homes & Gardens for adding glitter and patterns.

Here’s another excellent Christams card tutorial for making Christmas cards with glitter.  Not only is it a great tutorial, but you can also find everything you need to make Christmas cards and crafts at the Scrap ‘n Stamp online store.  Making your own Christmas cards is a great way to get into spirit of Christmas, and they’ll mean a lot more than if you had purchased them already made in a store.
