Only a couple of days left until Christmas! But there’s still time to put together a few things to make your table more festive. If your family has casual Christmas Eve gatherings, like mine, this would be a perfect project for your buffet table.

I found these buckets for a few dollars at Pat Catans, a craft store much like Hobby Lobby. I actually bought them a couple of years ago for a bridal shower, but have been keeping them in the basement since then. I thought I would resurrect them with some holiday style using Hambly Christmas rub-ons.

This is a project that you could really do any time of the year. Hambly has a variety of rub ons perfect that are perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, New Year’s parties, and any kind of party, really. I even have a similar project in mind for Valentine’s Day!

My brother and I have often talked about submitting photos of our home to Apartment Therapy for a house tour- once we’ve finished up all of the construction projects.  But in September, I was completely caught of guard when Apartment Therapy contacted me with a request for a tour!  Needless to say, we were thrown into a whirlwind of trying to complete all of the long term projects here at the house.  We didn’t get it all done as we had hoped, but we have definitely made quite a bit of progress since last summer.

Last year I was quite the crafty holiday girl. I made these candle holders with my dad using birch logs, a circular drill bit, and votive holders. I decorated shaker boxes with Hambly rub ons. I made Christmas stockings out of thrifted sweaters, and a tree to hang them on using woodgrain contact paper and 3M hooks. I was also inspired by the movie Elf to turn my chandelier into a winter wonderland.

This year, all I have made is a wreath from a thrifted T-shirt. I just can’t seem to find the motivation or ideas. What are you making this year? I seriously need a project. So, any ideas would be lovely!
