Here's another festive home decor project from our nest. Last time I showed you the advent flags I had sewn. This edition spotlights the snowflake mobile I created to throw some 'snow' into our dining area - as I plan to hang it over our dining table for the holiday season. And if you know me by now... you know it's going to involve doily-upcycling! ;o)
It's a super simple do.it.yourself project too. Just go find a groovy branch in the woods (you could paint it white or red...). I strung cut-out doilies onto fish line and hung them from the branch. I also wrapped various types of lace ribbon around the branch (you could use colourful wool too). I may still hang some turquoise ornaments from it...
Easy and delightful decor!

I was also delighted to score this large chair 'doily' while thrifting for only $2.50! I love throwing these, and cosy crocheted ivory blankets, over our chairs/couches during the winter months.
Sure, it sounds pretty - but toddlers make a quick mess of home decor dreams...
albeit a beautiful. giggle-full. mess!
How's your home decor coming along for the holiday season?
I'm positively itching to go cut down a tree soon!
Nite!
Mel ;o)
Oh my word, that HUGEMONGOUS doily! Wowzers!
