Vintage Christmas Shadowbox with Lights
Hi Friends,
I had this old empty box and sad bottle brush just laying around and thought
I might be able to make something with them-
I cut the tree to the size of the box.
Then glued the tree back into the stand.
I looked through my paper stash to find something for the background.
Then measured the paper and cut to fit.
I also trimmed the box at the opening to enlarge the window.
The top flap needed to be re-enforced.
I had a set of battery powered fairy lights from Dollar Tree.
They worked!
I wrapped them around the tree from the bottom up-
I wanted the battery back to be at the top of the box.
The tree needed a trim, and the I used
hot glue to add some ornaments.
The tree was put inside and battery pack was attached to
the side of the box.
I added a thrift-ed singing Angel.
This is the top inside view.
It was hard to get a good picture because of the bright lights-
Here is a picture with the lights off
This is the back of the box.
The little Angel has such a cute face!
I moved the box to the kitchen-
Merry Christmas!
Thank you for visiting.
You are invited to stop by anytime and please say - hello!
I appreciate and answer all comments.

DIY Winter White and Plaid Candy Canes
This idea has been around for years and years.
You have probably made a few in your time.
I can remember using homespun fabrics for a primitive look.
These Candy Cane ornaments are easy to find, and
6 for $1.00 is a great deal.
I'm just going to show how I covered some this year for my craft show.
I used some batting scraps that I had been saving.
The batting was old and had an aged look....
....that's a nice way of saying discolored.

You may have extra to trim, it depends on how tight you wrap your candy cane.
You will need a glue gun.
I covered the ends with a small square about 1'' by 1''.

I like to wrap top to bottom.
I added a small scrap of garland and secured with twine.
The garland was getting shabby so I used wire cutters to dismantle it, now I have a
bag full of twistie-ties for crafting.
I have a large collection of vintage pins
and thought the pins would add at bit of shabby glam !
The pins were added by just putting the garland scrap through the pin back.
Then wrapping the wire garland piece to the candy cane.
In case I want to change or remove the pins.
If you like you can add a bit of white acrylic paint or glitter.
Then I added a crinkled tag-
Then I made a few more..
I had lots of scraps of plaid flannel.
Then added a scrap of garland and jute.
I put them on the table.
Won't these make pretty ornaments?
I plan to use them as part of my gift wrapping .
Merry Christmas!
