3/16 Farmhouse Christmas Vignettes

I hope these give you a ton of inspiration when decorating for Christmas this year. I'm going to try my best in providing you with materials needed to make these vignettes.

Aside from a few ornaments sprinkled, with a large candle holder and small sacked tree (From Dollar Tree) - we have this large galvanized tin holding pine branches.

Now what I stumble on when it comes to these tier stands, is what type I should use.

Combing through my options at Hobby Lobby and Amazon, I found these to be quite expensive.

So I thought about making one of our own and here's the materials!

I'm going out on a limb and assuming that you have plenty of mirrors that you can make a small vignette like this with.

You'll need either fresh pine or faux pine, craft wire, pine cones and either torn fabric or some ribbon.

Pine and Pinecone Branch $2.49 from Hobby Lobby https://www.hobbylobby.com/Christmas/Floral-Arrangements/Floral-Bushes-Greenery/Pine-Pinecone-Branch/p/80939379

Pine Needle Branch $1.49 from Hobby Lobby https://www.hobbylobby.com/Christmas/Floral-Arrangements/Picks/Pine-Needle-Branch/p/80830230

Simply gather all of your pine branches together and wrap with craft wire. Take a few pine cones and wrap wire around the tops of them. Then wire these into your pine. Tie a piece of ribbon or torn fabric piece around the bundle. Also make a large loop to hand this from.

Once again, we'll use our DIY Tier stand to make this.

I know that you can buy all sorts of white tableware from the Dollar Tree. I'm not sure about the pitcher and container with lid.

To add the wording to each piece, you can follow my Making Autumn Mugs post on my Creative Ideas and Inspirations - Create and Craft Page. Just scroll through.

The lettering is from Rae Dunn and I've made a page here that you can simply print out on a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of transfer paper.

Isn't this gorgeous!

We've already found much of what is used here.

5" Jingle Bell Garland $4.99 from Hobby Lobby https://www.hobbylobby.com/Christmas/Tree-Decorations/Garlands/Rusted-Jingle-Bell-Jute-Garland/p/80778493

To begin this gorgeous vignette, place the trees inside the metal buckets and place on either side of something you have for the middle giving a little height. Now place a few vases with a pine branch in each and place in the center on what you have. Place the other trees besides the ones in the buckets. Toss some pine cones into the mix and finish with your jingle bell garland in the front.

I love this vignette and I think it's because it looks aged with the different things inside the metal tray.

Now I will say that we don't have anything in our shopping baskets yet to create this vignette, but we'll find them.

Grab some white mugs at the Dollar Tree and use this 4" x 4" label to decorate them. Visit my Creative Ideas and Inspiration - Create and Craft - MAKING AUTUMN MUGS

See how creative you can get with these materials in making your own Metal Tray Vignette.

This is a super easy one for us. We've already learned how to use water slides for the mugs - and now only need to paint the Terra cotta pot.

This tiny little vignette is only do-able if you head out to your favorite thrift store to find a milk glass container of sorts and a few antique plates. Then you know how to make this!!!

We've made these cloches before. Remember!

Despite this being an actual antique sifter, we can do this easily with a metal bucket. Brand new sifters are slightly expensive. The least expensive one was $10.00.

Now something fun...making rust! You'll want to do this first before placing your beautiful pine picks.

In a disposable bowl, you'll need a few materials - sand, white craft glue, brown acrylic paint and chip brush. First squeeze a lot of brown acrylic paint into your bowl, than add some glue and mix really well. Now add some dirt or sand to this mixture and stir really well. How's the consistency looking? You can add a bit of water if you choose. Now using the chip brush, begin streaking this mixture all over your metal bucket. Allow to completely dry. Do you need more rust, or maybe you need to sand the bucket in areas - it's totally up to you. Just work at making it look like an antique.

So first things first, if you decided on getting the galvanized rectangle metal tray, then you'll need to paint it white and allow to completely dry. Next, you'll paint your houses in a baby blue acrylic paint and allow to dry. But first, if you like the sand finish on the houses in the photo, then simply paint your houses with white glue and sprinkle on some sugar and allow to dry. Now you can arrange your tray with the houses and trees. If you want to, place a drop of hot glue on the bottom of each.

So what's the first thing you see here? Antique pieces mixed in with newer pieces!

Wow...this was a tricky vignette to put together, but I think I've got it.

I know what your thinking. Why am I going to buy these games just to make a Christmas Vignette! The blocks you can use throughout the year to spell out things like - NEW YEAR, HAPPY NEW YEAR - SPRING - EASTER - SUMMER TIME and so on. The chess game and bingo game is something you might like to do with your family in the evenings.
