DIY Christmas Art

Today I’m sharing DIY Christmas Art.  This is chalkboard art that would look great hanging on a wall or over a mantel.

DIY Christmas Artwork

Recently I shared my fireplace Christmas makeover.  I usually have a large mirror hanging over my fireplace, but I really wanted something to replace it that was solely Christmas.

Cork Board art work

I used a large cork board from Hobby Lobby for this project.  Use your 40% off coupon, and these will be SO cheap! (To see more DIY projects with these cork boards, click HERE and HERE.) DIY Christmas Artwork

I began by staining the frame.

Next, I added chalkboard paint to the corkboard.

Kids Helping

The painting was a slow process because my daughter wanted to “help.”  It eventually got done! I found the (free!) artwork for my piece at The Graphics Fairy.

DIY Christmas Art

I used an old-school projector to get my image on the corkboard.  However, I realize most people don’t have old projectors lying around!  You can print out something (you may need to send it to an office store for this scale) and use my perfect lettering technique.

 Click HERE for the full tutorial. I used a white China marker for this piece. It looks like chalk, but it is permanent. Here’s an Amazon affiliate link:

I created this reel two years ago, but since the fields behind our house rotate between corn and beans… it’s a corn summer again. 🌽

The older I get, the more I appreciate these ordinary little rhythms of life. Watching the field change through the seasons has quietly become one of my favorite parts of home.

I love this chair and side table from @zgallerie that I decided to try it in my office/library. I’m not sure where I love it more - here or my bedroom! It adds so much elegance and charm to the spaces. Use my code SY5 at checkout for 5% off your entire purchase.

We waited 13 years for this - and our house looks happier with her glow-up!

We went from a drafty single door (with a 90s glass inlay I poorly covered up) to double doors that allows in more light and feel right for our home.

What do you think?

*TWO THINGS that make wallpaper removal easy* Wallpaper has come a long way and there’s no need to be scared of it anymore! Before I hang wallpaper, I size the walls and often use pre-pasted SureStrip wallpaper that is activated with water! Comment WALLPAPER for easy to remove wallpaper links!

2016 didn’t seem that long ago until I dug through my blog for old home photos. 😳
