REVIVAL MONDAY #138 HOLIDAY EDITION!

 

WELCOME TO REVIVAL MONDAY

HOLIDAY EDITION!

 

 

GOT SOME GREAT HOLIDAY

INSPIRATION OUT THERE AND

SOME TERRIFIC IDEAS ON HOW TO

DECORATE FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

THESE FIRST COUPLE TIPS
ARE MY OWN SO I HOPE
YOU ENJOY THEM!

#1
MAY THE CLOCHE BE WITH YOU
THESE CLOCHE'S I MADE FROM GLASS
DOMES I PICKED UP AT THE
THRIFT STORE.

 

 AND MY IDEA WAS TO ADD A TOPPER TO THE DOME.YOU COULD USE JUST
ABOUT ANYTHING. THE ONE'S I USED
WERE ACTUALLY METAL DRAWER
KNOBS!

 

 ALL IT NEEDED NOW WAS A BASE AND
SOME DECORATION!
I MADE A BASES OUT OF AN OLD
CANDLESTICK AND THE OTHER
FROM A ROUND
PIECE OF WOOD FROM AN OLD
CHEESEBOARD. THEN PAINTED
THEM WITH A VALSPAR PAINT CALLED
HEAVY CREAM. I OPTED FOR
THE HEAVLY DISTRESSED LOOK!

 

AND FILLED THEM WITH PINECONES!
I LOVE MY LITTLE
CLOCHES!

#2
THE NATURE BOWL
ANOTHER GREAT IDEA IS TO
JUST PUT A BUNCH OF PINECONES
AND VARIOUS OTHER ORNAMENTS
TOGETHER!

 

 

 

I FOUND THIS GREAT WOODEN
BOWL AT THE THRIFT STORE AND PAINTED IT WITH A GREAT
WHITE-WASHED RUSTIC LOOK

 

#3
POP OF COLOR
AND MY LAST DECORATING IDEA IS
FOR YOUR TREE I DO IT EVERY YEAR!
IT MAKES THE TREE LOOK
FULLER AND ADDS A POP OF COLOR

IT'S THESE LITTLE FLORAL STICKS WITH RED BERRIES, GLASS AND PEARLS

 

I JUST STICK THEM ALL OVER THE TREE, EASY PEASY!

 

  

#4

UNDER GLASS

THIS FEATURE IS FROM

SUSAN @ SAF AFFECT
SHE LOVES THE DOMES JUST AS
I DO SO WHEN I SAW HER'S I
HAD TO FEATURE THEM.

SHE THREW TOGETHER THESE

CUTE LITTLE CLOCHES FROM SOME

GLASS JARS SHE PURCHASED AT

THE THRIFT STORE.

 

WITH SOME ODDS AND ENDS SHE

MADE SOME CUTE LITTLE

CLOCHE VIGNETTES

 

SHE CAN EASILY CHANGE THEM OUT

FOR THE HOLDIAY JUST BY

PUTTING TOGETHER SOME

ORNAMENTS AND CREATING

 

VERY CUTE AND I LOVE THE

VINTAGE ORNAMENTS!

 

 

#5
JINGLE BALLS
THESE CUTE LITTLE ORNAMENTS ARE FROM MEL @
BLISS BLOOM BLOG

 

 THESE ARE SO CUTE!

#6

 THIS GREAT IDEA IS FROM
VANESSA @ A FANCIFUL TWIST

 

 

SHE MAKES THESE GREAT LITTLE VINTAGE LOOKING TREES BY
BLEACHING THE LITTLE BOTTLE
BRUSH TREES.

CHECK OUT HER TUTORIAL AND
SOON YOU WILL BE MAKING A
FOREST OF YOUR OWN.

I ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH ERINS CLOCHES WHEN I SAW THEM
@ ERIN'S ART AND GARDENS

 

 

HER AQUA THEME SHE

HAS GOING IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL

 

AND HER LITTLE COLLECTIONS SHE HAS
JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT THERE ARE
NO RULES TO WHAT CAN OR CAN'T BE
USED WHEN IT COMES TO
THESE CLOCHE'S

SPARKLY DREAMY LOOK!

#8

SPEAKING OF TREES

LOOK TO THEM!

#9
PING PONG
THIS LITTLE FEATURE
ERIN @ THIS JOURNEY

 SHE HAS A GREAT IDEA
ON HOW TO MAKE THESE
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

 ALL SHE USED WAS A REGULAR
STRING OF LIGHTS AND
PING PONG BALLS! BE SURE
TO PAY HER A VISIT TO SEE HOW
SHE DID IT!

#10
COLLECTION OF TREES
THIS INSPIRATION IS 
FROM MISS KITTY @
MISS KOPY KAT

HER COLLECTION OF TREE'S
ARE REALLY BEAUTIFUL
THEY ARE ALSO THOSE BOTTLE
BRUSH TREES WHICH SHE GAVE A
BEAUTIFUL NATURAL LOOK TO
LEAVING MANY OF THEM IN
THE BEACHED OUT STATE WITHOUT
DYING THEM.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WAY
SHE HAS THEM DISPLAYED WITH
THE OLD BOOKS ON HER MANTLE.
SUCH IMAGINATION! BE SURE TO
CHECK OUT THE TUTORIAL!

#11
IF I COULD SAVE
TREES IN A BOTTLE
CHECK OUT LACEY'S
TWIST ON THESE TREES!
HER BLOG IS
FEATHERING MY NEST

AND SHE ALSO HAS
A GREAT TUTORIAL WITH A
LITTLE TWIST.
SHE USES GERMAN GLASS GLITTER
ON THE BASE OF THE TREES
FOR EXTRA SPARKLE!

GREAT IDEA!

TEACUPS AND CANDLES!

 

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS

FRIGHTFUL!

 

PERFECT WEATHER TO STAY PUT AND

ACTUALLY DO SOME OF THOSE

THINGS WE'VE BEEN

SAVING TO FOLDERS ON OUR PINTEREST.

 

 

NOT SURE WHERE EXACTLY I

SAW THIS IDEA BUT IT WAS THE ONE

ABOUT MELTING ALL YOUR OLD CANDLES

DOWN AND MAKING SOMETHING NEW AGAIN.SO I STARTED WITH ONE

BIG OLD RED CANDLE AND I MELTED

IT DOWN IN A POT THAT I PLACED

INSIDE A LARGER ONE WITH WATER

IN THAT ONE. 

 

 

I DECIDED TO USE SOME OLD CHINA TEA CUPS THAT MY MOM

HAD GIVEN ME FOR MY GARAGE SALE

THAT DIDN'T SELL.

 

ONCE FULLY MELTED I POURED IT INTO

THE TEA CUPS

 

I PLACED A WICK DOWN INSIDE THE CUP THAT HAS A METAL BASE- I BOUGHT THESE AT HOBBY LOBBY.

THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE..

 

I POURED THE WAX IN FIRST AND THEN PLACED IN THE WICK AND HELD IT UP WITH A LITTLE METAL FORK WHICH I PLACED OVER THE RIM OF

THE CUP.

 

I WAITED AT BIT FOR IT TO

DRY AND THEN SNIPPED THE WICK

DOWN TO SIZE. AT THIS POINT YOU

CAN ALSO WIPE ANY LITTLE

WAX SPILLS YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN

ON YOUR CUP.

 

THIS IS MY FINISHED PRODUCT!

I LOVE THESE CUTE LITTLE

ANTIQUE TEACUP CANDLES!

 

 

 

 

 

THE ONE BIG CANDLE WAS ENOUGH TO FILL 4 TEA CUPS!
BE SURE TO SAVE A LITTLE IN THE POT BECAUSE AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN THEY ARE DRYING A WELL FORMS AROUND THE WICK. SO DON'T CUT THE
WICK TO SHORT YOU WILL HAVE TO ALLOW FOR THIS.ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS POUR A LITTLE MORE IN AND LEVEL IT OFF!
 

 

THEY ARE GREAT LITTLE DECORATIONS

OR WOULD MAKE CUTE LITTLE

CHRISTMAS GIFTS!SO GATHER UP
THOSE CANDLES YOUR NOT USING OR THE ONES USED DOWN TO THE
 VERYBOTTOM AND MAKE THEM NEW AGAIN. YOU COULD EVEN TRY
LAYERING THEM WITH DIFFERENT FRAGRANT CANDLES!
THE SKYS THE LIMIT!

 

AND THE HOUSE SMELLS DELICIOUS!

 

HAVE YOU DONE ANY OF YOUR

PINTEREST FAV'S?
