Our First Christmas Lights Decoration!

Merry Christmas!

Here are some pictures from our first home, all decorated for the holidays! Enjoy!

Our porch! With red sparkle snowflakes hanging, bright multi colored lights, garland, snoopy, Holly pillows, and pathetic tree!


A closer view of the porch with the Holly pillows, and a lit up Santa Snoopy on his dog house! I was going for the whole Charlie Brown Christmas theme if you couldn't tell!


Charlie Brown's "pathetic" tree! My husband loves this detail on our porch :)

Holly Pillows

I wanted to dress up the Adirondacks chairs we have outside on our porch, and so I decided to make Holly Pillows!

I simply created the pillow cases out of left over beige fabric. Sewed up three of the four sides.
Then I cut green holly leaves and red circles out of felt. I didn't want them to be the same size, I wanted them to look artsy and handmade.
Then I hot glued the felt on to the cases (I could have sewn them on, but I wanted instant gratification in a finished quickly project! hehe).
Then just stuffed the cases with my pillows (which already had permanent cases on them, so these Holly Pillows were just cover up solutions!). Then I hot glued the cases shut!

Now obviously, these aren't permanent solutions. If they were, I would sew more and use outdoor fabric. But considering the cost ($0! since I had every thing already!), and the time (probably about 15 min total!), I think they turned out beautifully and I am happy! yay!
