It is official, our house is decorated and these gift decorations made with a couple 2×4′s and some Christmas paper from Teresa Collins and First Edition really brought the spirit of Christmas into our house. I hope that all of you Black Friday shoppers survived this morning, Heather and I stayed home and got all of our decorating all up instead. It is always so much fun to put up new decorations and this year we have quite a few as we do something new each week so that we can blog about it. This one couldn’t be easier, just go out in your garage and cut down some 2×4′s and lightly sand them (or do what Heather did and have your husband do that part). Next, paint each piece whatever color you want and mod podge the paper on. Last, just glue the pieces together and tie a ribbon around them and there you have it, finished.

Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! Try some of these crafting ideas to give your home a fresh look this Christmas.
