hi everyone, I’m finishing up my xmas projects and first up is my new headboard.
I found this old mantel last year at an antique/junk store.
I just got around to doing something with it—my husband filled in the opening with bead board, and I painted it.—I just love it!
and for what on tap tuesday, --here’s my desk. the tin is full of stuff I need to sort and organize and the pattern is a cute gift card holder that I need to make. you can find here, along with instructions.
this time of year, you need lots of containers to hold all of the goodies you make. this is a paper “bowl”, that uses 1- 12”x12” sheet of paper and a scrap of ribbon. AND only takes a couple minutes to make and holds a lot! here’s a tutorial for it.
and this is a project I made last year, too– I use them for xmas name tags on packages. all you need is a few paint sticks and a free digi download to make these. here’s a tutorial for them.
show us what you’ve been working on here!
thanks for looking!

I love your paper bowl, it looks like it would be fun to make! Thanks for the link to my ornament post, I want to go add some red ribbons to mine on the tree now, yours looks so cute. :)
Fun stuff! I'll have to try that divided "bowl". Your mantel is gorgeous! You have such a knack for that style of decorating. Love it.
As usual, it is a total delight to visit your blog! That headboard is gorgeous, love how you decorated the top of it. And that paper bowl is so tempting to whip up. I love when a 12x12 sheet becomes something fun! Happy Holidays and thanks for contributing to WOTT!
