New Upcycled Projects to Make 608
.
Every Friday, 7 PM through Wednesday 11 PM Pacific
Wow, can you believe how fast time is flying? For all the Christmas projects I’d still like to do, I’ll need another 6 months at least. haha
Ah well! At least I got my tree up on the blog, with my fav tree skirt idea to date I think!
DIY reclaimed wood Sled Christmas tree skirt
Wood sled Christmas tree crate skirt by Funky Junk Interiors
My original brainstorm had been to just put a faux tree on a sled and call it a day! But when I changed my mind to a real tree, it didn’t fit. So I decided to make my own sled skirt instead. Which I love even more than the vintage sled I had planned to use!
This is such an easy project that can be installed after the tree is already up too!
This past week I also shared this year’s Christmas pillows I made, which I’ll also share in the linkup below.
This place is starting to look like Christmas! Finally.
Let’s now check out the creativity YOU brought over from last week’s party… and let’s change my Christmas deadline to 8 months now… LOL

Lightbulb Christmas ornaments
