I did manage to finish dear daughter's table runner, some small tree ornaments, and her star garland, but I'm still working on the decoupaged cookie plates, my table runner, some fabric covered Christmas tree forms, and a star garland for me. My star garland may go up after I finish it and stay up all year. Here is a picture of dear daughter's garland on her China cabinet. She added fairy lights and it looks pretty. I love the way this turned out and the stars are so easy to make.
Other things I want to make are felt tree ornaments. I found this picture on the internet and thought these felt ornaments were adorable.
I saw this picture a bunch of times for different ads. The day I took this picture they were advertising Hobby Lobby craft store. I have not been able to find this picture on Pinterest with a link to instructions or patterns, so dear daughter I made our own ornaments with green felt in the shape of a Christmas tree and we beaded them for her co-workers.
I also want to make some string art. I found a string art star with instructions here.
As usual, I spent too much time watching YouTube videos showing items made from thrift store finds and I saw some interesting wood burning ornaments being made by using 4" wood rounds that you can get at Amazon.
One person was walking through a Antique store or 2nd hand shop and I also saw something I have to make. It's a paper garland made from hymnal pages. It's super simple, fan folding the pages and gluing a bunch together to make a long piece that you wind around a piece of twine. I don't have a good picture of it but I took this screen shot from the video where I saw it.
I have looked on Pinterest and all over the Internet for a better picture or even instructions but could not find anything similar. I fell in love with this garland, so much so that I bought a Baptist hymnal on Christmas day for this project. I have the glue and twine.
I don't know when I'll finish Christmas decorations, I just hope I finish before next Christmas.
