Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Let's Upcycle Your Christmas

With all the hustle and bustle of this season it is nice to take a few minutes and decorate your home for the holidays. One way to decorate is to use upcycled decorations. So I thought I would check out Etsy and bring you a few items I found. 


Let's start with the front door. Every front door needs decoration on it. How about this greenery front door decoration from QuailRoadDryGoods. They can make it made to order for you. 

Now every Christmas home decorating needs to have a snowman somewhere. How about this for a different snowman! MyWhimsicalLily has this one made from Mason jar lids. How neat is this. :)

Do you have a fireplace mantel or nice side table that needs that special something on it? If so, BriEllaCreations has this nice set of upcyled wine bottles that were turned into Christmas bottles. I love the red of them. 

Then last but not least....we need some decorations for the Christmas tree. How about these cute ornaments made from old beads and buttons from JunkSoupArt. I think they are so cute. :)

So now that you have seen a few things to decorate your home with I say we all get busy and either start decorating or add to the decorations you already have up. :)

Thanks for stopping by and happy decorating!
