Handmade Christmas Decor-Day 1

Well hello there! I am so excited for this week.  I have been crafting all weekend and can’t wait to share a full week of handmade Christmas Decor.   So far everything I have made, was with materials I had on hand. You can bet all of the projects will be under $5 or free.

Here is today’s handmade decor….

That’s Sebastian, isn’t he cute?  This project is so easy to make.  You just need a few supplies:

Deer head silhouette (choose one online and print it off)

Buttons

Craft Glue

Canvas or cardstock

Scissors

Steps:

Cut out the silhouette and trace on your canvas with a pencil, lightly.

Layout your buttons and put them into place.

THEN (after you are satisfied with how the buttons look) squeeze a little spot of glue on each individual button.

Tip:  I used needle nose pliers to pick up some of my buttons so the ones around it wouldn’t move.

Erase any remaining pencil lines.

If the glue you use doesn’t dry clear, wipe off any access that comes through the buttons holes.

Here is how Sebastian turned out.  If Sebastian wanted to be Rudolph, he would just need a little red button for his nose!

Now, that Sebastian is ready, my buffet has a wintery vignette. I seem to be keeping Christmas decor a little more simple this year.  Sometimes less is more, right?

I don’t know if it’s kind of funny or morbid that I also have an antler from my old Sebastian (may he rest in peace) in the vignette too. For this shot, I thought it would be cool to capture the Christmas tree in the mirror’s reflection.
