After growing tired of our store bought Christmas bows falling apart each year, Faith decided to make her own this year with a roll of ribbon that she picked up. After making the bows, she tied the bows to cuttings from our Christmas tree, and I helped put up on the shutters to our cabin with a staple gun. We love getting to use nature to help decorate for Christmas.
Homemade Garland
Hanging garland on the tree the White Elephant way! What favorite Christmas homemade traditions do you have?
Graphic T-Shirt Wall Art
Got some old favorite graphic t-shirts that you just can’t part ways with? How about turning them into wall art? We made up some t-shirt wall hangings by cutting out t-shirts that Mike had previously designed (check out his graphic design side gig at mikeralphcreative.com) and wrapping them around canvas. Once you have wrapped the shirts around the canvas, you can glue or staple them to the back of the frame. We made these to display in the youth room (Mike’s main gig).
Homemade Lego Halloween
Halloween costumes are so much more fun when you make them yourself…especially when you get to reuse items found around the house to make it. We made this Lego costume for our son (with his help too) using cardboard (we love cardboard!), Chinese food takeout containers, and spray paint. A simple but fun and memorable costume for the Lego fan in your life. Happy Halloween from your friends at White Elephant Creations.
Elmo Party Sign
Signs are so much more fun when you make them yourselves. We made this Elmo sign for our nephew’s 2nd birthday party. Elmo handdrawn by our daughter. Acrylic paint on cardboard.
