Create A Mini Christmas Village Display

 Hello everyone! Today we're creating a mini Christmas village display. I've been having a lot of fun creating my crafts using scrap wood pieces around my home. My husband has taken a few wood fence pickets that were no longer in use and cut them down to several different sizes. I've been using them in several of my crafts. If you have any scrap wood pieces lying around, this craft is perfect for you. The mini wood houses were purchased at Michael's. I believe they were $1.99 each. 


Video tutorial




Here's a list of what you will need

Scrap wood

Three wooden homes
 - Depending on the size of your scrap wood, you can use as many as you would like, but I went with three.

Christmas faux greenery, berries, and pinecones

Paint

Faux snow

Paintbrush

Hot glue

Optional- Any Christmas stickers


Start by applying your paint onto your scrap wood section. I decided to apply white paint to my scrap wood. I applied the paint onto the top, and four sections around my scrap wood.


Next, begin to apply your paint to your wooden homes. 


I painted two of the homes a green color and went with red for the third house.




Now you are ready to glue your houses onto your scrap wood section.



Add your hot glue onto the bottom of each house, and add it onto your scrap wood board.


After adding on your houses, take your faux snow and begin to add that around your scrap board. I added some hot glue and sprinkled the faux snow top. After adding my snow, I added my greenery, berries, and pinecones around the snow. 


I decided to add three of my Christmas stickers to each of the houses. I love how it turned out! Such a simple way to display your wooden homes. I also added a few of my twinkling lights. 


Be sure to let me know if you create your very own mini Christmas village. Thank you so much for stopping by and creating with me.

Easy Steps to Create a Cozy Autumn Tablescape at Home

Hello everyone! I’m excited that you decided to visit the blog today. I wanted to share how to create a cozy autumn tablescape at home. My goal was to design something warm and inviting, as our table is a space where we share conversations, drink coffee, tackle homework, and simply enjoy each other’s company.  I typically don’t go all out when decorating my dining table, but I wanted to show you how I styled it using decor pieces I already had. I would love for you to join me in this decorating adventure!

How I Styled 6 Fall Trays Using Simple Reused Decor

  This fall, I wanted to challenge myself to decorate with just a few simple items—things most of us already have tucked away in our craft bins. With one round tray, a Dollar Tree lantern, a battery‑operated LED candle, a handful of faux florals, and a mix of Dollar Tree pumpkins, I created six different autumn looks. Each one feels cozy, seasonal, and unique, all without buying a bunch of new décor. My goal was to show how versatile your everyday pieces can be. By swapping out colors, textures, and small accents, you can build fresh designs that fit your style and your space. Watch the video tutorial Decorating Each Tray My First Tray: Classic Lantern & Autumn Florals For my first tray, I began by placing a round tray on a woven placemat to create a cozy base. Next, I placed the black lantern in the center and added a small LED candle inside. I figured this would provide a soft autumn glow that I love. I took yellow faux florals and arranged them around the lantern to brighten...

Transforming a Dollar Tree Metal Home Sign with Paint

Hello, blogging friends! Today, I’m excited to share an easy makeover I did using a “HOME” sign from Dollar Tree. This project is simple, but the transformation feels soft, warm, and inviting—just the kind of piece that quietly brightens a space. The sign began as plain and flat, but after a few gentle coats of paint, it became something charming and full of personality. Watch the Video Tutorial Video tutorial  Materials Dollar Tree metal HOME sign (Crafter’s Square) Black FolkArt Matte Acrylic Paint Light green Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Coral Craft Smart Matte Acrylic Paint Light pink paint Dark green Paintbrushes (flat and detail brushes) I started by applying a black base coat to the entire sign.
