I use the term "tutorial" loosely here, lol. I put these buffalo plaid Christmas decorations together the other day and snapped a couple of pics in the process.
Wood Plaque Supplies:
1. Buffalo Plaid printable art from my Etsy shop. This works best if printed on a laser printer so that the Mod Podge doesn't smear the print. However, if you don't have a laser printer you can either spray it with acrylic sealer first or have it printed at Kinko's. 2. A scrap piece of wood about .75 inches thick, sanded and stained, mine measured about 9x11.5 3. Mod Podge water base sealer. 4. Acrylic sealer. 5. Mod Podge brayer, I can't emphasize what a difference having this tool makes so that the print doesn't wrinkle or bubble when you apply the Mod Podge. 6. Use the steps in this youtube video (made by the kind folks at Mod Podge ) to apply the paper to the wood. Mod Podge is sometimes a little tacky to the touch even after it dries, so you can finish it all off with acrylic sealer if you want to.
Wood Slice Ornament Supplies:
1. Buffalo Plaid printable collage sheets from my Etsy shop. 2. 2 inch punch...see photo below. 3. Wood slices. I procured mine via a "honey-do" list...however, I have seen them on Amazon and I imagine you could get them at a craft store. 4. Mod Podge, Acrylic sealer and brayer (same as above). 5. Ribbon or twine of your choice. 6. Follow the instructions above...trust me and watch the video!
This Fiskars Squeeze Punch makes cutting out the circles so easy! Center the image you are punching and squeeze to punch it out.

How on earth is it already November 12th? Good grief. Two weeks until Thanksgiving! Even though it's cold on the way to the school bus stop in the morning, it warms up by afternoon and I forget that it is fall. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I always feel like it doesn't get enough attention. It's sorta sandwiched between Halloween and too close to Christmas, right? I decided to give it a little love and put together this little foyer table display. The prints are available at my Etsy Shop. I also have just the main print listed separately, the quote is the song: "For health and strength and daily bread, we praise thy name O Lord." ...good luck getting it out of your head for the rest of the day ;-) .....Images are Linked :)
I'm fairly boring when it comes to Halloween. I think I'm usually still lamenting the end of summer. My poor kids always ask for decorations and for the most part I only consent to carving pumpkins on October 31st. My oldest daughter asked again a couple of days ago. I sighed....and then I decided to turn over a new leaf! Look what I whipped up! I compiled all of the printables into one neat and tidy pdf and I have it for sale for $5. Email me using the contact form above to arrange payment if you are interested in whipping up a little something yourself! Go ahead! I've done all of the hard work for you! *wink* Check out my super amazing (erm, um I mean...first.time.I.ever.posted.anything.on.youtube.kinda.sketchy) video tutorial for how to assemble the paper lollies (the little round accordion folded treasures below). Buy Now On Etsy As a funny side note. I wish you all could have seen the look on my husband's face as I was hauling "my Halloween display" out the back door to the yard. LOL, it was priceless. My house was too dark for a proper photo, although my display looks equally as cute in my living room. There 'ya go kids! We are ready for Halloween! Does this mean that I don't have to carve pumpkins?
