Christmas decorations!!!

Pretty sure it's no secret how much I love Christmas. So, I was pinteresting away looking at lots and lots of ideas on things to make and do for Christmas.
I saw a cute little frame with a glitter reindeer (Original here) and I decided to give it a try!
I checked a few departments stores and cheap stores but was unable to find the glittery reindeer. So I decided to make my own! It was a very quick and easy activity, Lumpy will be able to do some with me. Also considering we had most of the supplies it was also very cheap and I am pretty impressed with the end result!



Supplies required -
Photo frame of your preferred size (I used a spare I had)
Printed silhouette of reindeer (I did a few different designs so I could see which I like best)
Paint and glitter in colours-  I went with silver and blue colour theme - (already had these also, well Imade do with a lighter blue paint)
Backing paper/card - I went with silver wrapping paper we already had, however the next one I want to make, I think I will use card in the colour.
Glue that dries clear
Gather supplies
Once you cut out your preferred silhouette, give it a coat of paint.
While the paint is still wet, sprinkle with our glitter (once dry you may need to touch up a few spots to get even cover)
Glue on to backing paper once dry (I didn't get a photo of this step), and pop into frame. I left the  glass and boarder on.
I think I will do an A4 sized one for this space. As much as I love Christmas I wont be leaving this set up! it will go away with the other decorations until 1st December

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It's 330 am on the first of December. I was up feeding 2.0 and getting a little excited about Christmas.  In about 2 hours Lumpy will wake up and check her advent calendar bag and find a cool pair of Christmas socks.  She will then go downstairs to have breakfast and meet the newest member of the family,  our elf on the shelf.

Our tree went up yesterday as today is a Monday and there is work and kindy. Lights and outdoor decor went out yesterday too.


Well, I fell back asleep after 2.0 was back to bed. So I now have photos of Lumpy meeting her elf, who she has named Hatty. She LOVED the Christmas socks and will wear them to kindy today!
