Book Page Holiday Banners & Monogram Place Cards

If you follow my blog you know

a. I like to make stuff

b. most of my decorating is done on a budget.

 

Growing up money was tight.

Wanting something in our house

usually meant you had to

 make it yourself or buy it used.

 

At the time, 

it didn't always seem like a good thing:),

but ultimately....

 it gave me the motivation

to be creative and  resourceful

&

for that I am SO grateful!

 

I truly enjoy re-purposing things

& 

making something pretty out of something ordinary.

 

Here are my next two

Recycled Christmas Projects

8. Book Page Holiday Banner

9. Monogram Book Page Place Cards

 

 These are pages from a vintage french book,

that I just sent through the printer, cut and laced with jute.
Banners are everywhere this holiday season
but I have to say my favorite inspiration for this project
came from Ella Claire.
Kristen is super creative and writes a beautiful
blog, you must check it out:).

 

 

I sent the same book pages through the printer
&
cut the detail in the bottom.



 

The table runner was a piece of driftwood

that I found at the beach after

Hurricane Sandy.



 Newton, CT,  your children & families

 continue to be in my heart, thoughts
 & prayers.
