Shabby Chic Ornaments

Holiday making is in full swing. Yay! I'm hoping that all the glitter, and glue, and pretty Christmas pictures, kick my spirit in the pants so that I'm cheery as all heck this year. 


Last year was exhausting and I think aged me about 10 years. This year I want to enjoy myself. There are rumours of snow for this Monday, fingers crossed it comes and I'll be the holly jolliest mo' fo' you ever did see!


Until then, I'll settle for fake snow and glitter... which isn't so bad. This shabby set of ornaments is covered in the stuff.


They are made with laser cut wooden frames (last years post-christmas clearance, bought for pennies, hells yes!). I prepped the frames with blue paint then slopped those suckers with glue, white acrylic paint, glitter and faux snow. Add fake berries, burlap, snips of lace and tulle, vintage buttons and ta dahhh!

These lovelies are already on their way to their new home (hiya Ms Amy Love!), but if you'd like some Pixie Hill magic to arrive on your doorstep, skip over to my facebook page and enter my holiday giveaway.

Love you more! 
xoxo

    These are really pretty. Now stop using all your country's lace and glitter reserves.

    I don't know if Victoria, BC will experience snow but these are lovely ornaments. I would love to sprinkle the snow and glitter on my front lawn and around my windows! :)
    Thanks for sharing!!

    These are so flipping cute! Seriously, do you ever sleep? How do you produce so much work? And stop claiming it is because of the lack of housework. My house looks like crap and I don't have your bragging rights. You are amazing in every way. Love you and all you do!

      You're so sweet Betsy! I do let the house work slide. Also, I do sleep minimally most days. Lots of coffee helps too! lol

    More and more as time goes by I feel so much more drawn to decorations and holiday baubles that feel like a bit of the nostalgic and older spirit of Christmas. These fit the bill perfectly! : )
