Cast a Magic Spell with These Harry Potter Craft Projects

Polyjuice_potion

As you may have seen so far, Harry Potter is wildly popular around the world. And like huge fans of Star Wars, Hunger Games, and the NFL, there are plenty of people who have their own brand of magic with their own Harry Potter craft projects. After all, if you’ve seen stuff on Pinterest and Etsy, you’re going to find out that there are fans that are way more obsessed than you. Nevertheless, at Hogwarts, while DIY projects aren’t really a thing, you do have Hermione making the Polyjuice potion for her, Harry, and Ron so they could disguise themselves as Slytherins and sneak into the common room to speak to Draco Malfoy. While this works to a point and the three got what they wanted, Hermione made a major mistake with adding a hair whom she thought was Slytherin student Millicent Bulstrode. However, it turned out to be her cat’s and she had to go to the hospital wing. Let’s just say the Polyjuice potion works well when you’re planning to disguise yourself as a person. However, doesn’t work well when you put a hair of a species that’s different than you. Nevertheless, it was a very funny moment in the series. So for your magical reading pleasure, here I give you a glimpse of all the enchanting Harry Potter craft projects.

  1. Curl up on your couch with your very own Hogwarts House quilt.
Has all 4 Hogwarts houses in its own color scheme and patterns. More like something I'd want for display though.

4. If your house elves aren’t available, use this sign.

Of course, using house elves as slaves kind of highlights the dark side of the wizarding world. However, us Harry Potter fans don't really talk about this.

As any Potterhead would know, the horcruxes are Tom Riddle's diary, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's cup, Ravenclaw's diadem, Harry Potter, and Nagini. I'm sure it's apparent for those who've read the books.

Or so it seems like it since it looks as if the clasps are in the center. Still, not sure why they'd have a Golden Snitch in Quidditch in the first place other than it being a quick way to end a match.

19. If you want to go back an hour this spring, you might need a time turner necklace.

The Eggscellent World of Easter Egg Dioramas

sect_easter_sugar-eggs_ea09c

While I was looking for stuff pertaining to Easter craft projects, I came across some Easter egg dioramas. For many years, the idea of making little Easter scenes has been some sort of tradition since the Victorian Era. So much so that there are now egg dioramas that now pertain to Christmas and other occasions. And I’m not kidding on this one. Nevertheless, most of these egg dioramas don’t use real eggs. Because obviously, opening real eggs make a mess and eggshells break very easily. In other words, they’re terrible for craft projects. Also, many of the bigger eggs are illegal like those of ostrich. So most opt for other materials like sugar, paper mache, etc. That way, people are able to work with something that’s dry both inside and out, doesn’t make a mess, or breaks easily. Also, with such materials, the egg can be any size you want. And as you see, many of these egg dioramas come in a variety of sizes and openings. However, unlike the pumpkin dioramas I showed you back in October for Halloween, these eggs usually contain a rather small space for decorating. Yet, as with a lot of craft projects and dioramas, there are plenty that can get rather elaborate. Don’t ask me how that is. In this post, I’ll introduce you to the world of these kinds of projects by showing ones I’ve found in places like Pinterest or Google Images. So without further delay, I bring you to the eggscellent world of these dioramas for Easter.

  1. A hollow egg can always serve as an abode for a fairy princess.
Not sure how they got those kind of windows in this one. But it really lets the light in for you to see.

2. What better place to build a nest than near a birdhouse?

This is a cute diorama. Love the little birds and flowers. Not sure whether the birds are supposed to be babies though.

3. Sometimes an egg can be more than what it seems when you look inside.

Yes, this egg might seem pretty outside. But inside, it's a world full of flowers with 2 bunnies facing each other.

4. So that’s what Tinkerbell’s home is supposed to look like.

For the record I'm not a fan of Peter Pan and think it's overrated as a Disney movie. Still, this diorama is very well done.

5. In this egg, you will find a fairy on a  beautiful unicorn.

So it doesn't have much to do with Easter. But neither does Tinkerbell. But I think this one is cool. So it goes on the post.

Some of these decorations come from vintage Easter cards. A couple have fake flowers in them.

13. An Easter egg diorama like this could always use a couple of chicks.

I'm sure the rabbits here were cut out from some kit. And it looks crowded. But it's adorable.

18. A lamb in grass always seems like a welcome sight.

On Easter, the lamb has a sacred tie to Passover as a sacrifice. And since Jesus died on the cross to redeem our sins, one of his nicknames is, "Lamb of God." Also, lambs are adorable.

20. Seems like these two are out and about on a lovely spring day.

And if they live in the American South, their furniture probably has slipcovers. Because lovely furnishings need protection from people's sweat because they wear heavy outfits unsuitable for warm weather.

21. Why use Easter grass when dried flowers and moss would do just fine?

22. Those wanting to be someplace warm might enjoy this egg diorama of Hawaii.

Sure many people might view tropical islands as paradise. But to me, I see it as a hotbed of tropical diseases and mosquitoes. Still, love the tiki statue and shell though.

32. While growing up, who can remember hearing the story of the princess and the pea?

Of course, they could've saved a lot of trouble to determine whether she was a princess and just do a bit of a background check. Or consult a genealogist. Also how could feeling a pea make you unable to sleep? Doesn't make sense.

Spring Into These Easter Craft Projects

Easter-Decorations-1

While Easter isn’t as widely celebrated as Christmas in regards to the commercialization, it’s still a big holiday, especially in places where there are a lot of Christians. And while Easter is widely seen as a religious holiday to most Christians around the world since it denotes the resurrection of Christ, there are plenty of people who celebrate the holiday who aren’t religious at all. Not only that, but there are Christian groups who don’t observe the holiday either. For instance, the Puritans didn’t celebrate Easter and nor do the Quakers. Then there are Orthodox Christians and other Eastern sects who celebrate Easter at a later date since they go by a different liturgical calendar. While my family tends to celebrate Easter as a low key affair, there are plenty of people who go all out, not just including parents with kids. And retailers are happy to indulge, which you’d notice every time you go to a store. Not to mention, schoolchildren in the US usually have projects pertaining to Easter as well. Still, while there is a big market for Easter decorations, there are plenty of people who’d rather make their own. As I’ve seen on Pinterest in researching for this post, I have become well aware of it. But in blog posts, I can only show so much. Yes, there will be some religious content as well as bunnies, chicks, and other adorable stuff. So for your reading pleasure, I give you a treasure trove of Eater crafts to adore.

When I was a kid, I gathered eggs in plastic bags. They weren't nearly as sturdy as these. Nor as charming.

Plastic Easter eggs can always be recycled, especially after the kids have no need of them. Still, I think this one is so pretty.

13. Got any old wine bottles lying around, make a light out of it.

This bottle has a glittery purple bunny peep as well as donned with a polka dot ribbon and fake gems. Wonder what it looks like lighted up.

15. What better way to celebrate Easter than to hang a bunny in a basket at your front door?

The bunny and the flowers aren't real. But they're sure lovely. Also, really like the bow.

16. For those aiming for simplicity, perhaps hang some carrots instead.

Of course, you wouldn't be able to do these with real carrots. Because before long they'd either be rotted or eaten by critters. And you don't have to take my word for it.

17. An Easter bouquet is never complete without jellybeans in the vase.

Well, any fake flower bouquet, that is. Still, not sure if any of these flowers would be blooming around Easter. Yet, they're pretty.

20. For those who observe the liturgical seasons, these crosses are for you.

As a practicing Catholic, I'm aware what these colors mean. Purple denotes Lent, red denotes Holy Week, and white pertains to Easter.

21. Nothing can get more festive this Easter than this tree of ribbons.

It's mostly purple deco mesh but with crazy polka dot ribbons. Not sure if it's in my taste since it reminds me of something you'd see in Wonka's factory.

22. Brighten up this Easter by gracing your house with this Easter egg block light.

23. If you want a rustic mantle for Easter, this moss picture frame will suit you quite nicely.

Well, it has a picture of a rabbit as well as a bird's nest in the corner. Also, I don't think the moss is real. Well, it better not be real or that might be a problem.

However, I certainly don't approve of using peanut M&M's on such a project. That's a waste of great chocolate and peanut candy. Best use jellybeans instead.

25. If you prefer a more nature looking wreath for Easter, look no further.

This one seems to have a more natural look in some ways. Except that the eggs are different sizes and colors. Most birds don't lay eggs like that.

27. You can’t have a better Easter centerpiece on your table than a box of spring flowers.

45. Remember the meaning of Easter with this Calvary flower box.

As you know, Jesus was crucified on the cross yet would rise within 3 days, according to the Gospels. Still, I like how the flowers overtake them as life overtakes death.

If you think a migraine is torture, wearing this makes it seem like nothing. Because the thorns dig into your head and cause bleeding. Hey, Easter isn't all about bunnies, chicks, and colored eggs.

To Catch a Leprechaun

672bc7d017cc311d61543bc90418f056

While I was looking for Saint Patrick’s Day craft projects, I came across a specific craft project called a leprechaun trap. While I’m familiar with the idea about catching a leprechaun so he’d lead you to his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow (or 3 wishes in exchange for its freedom), I’ve never seen such contraptions in my life. Still, contrary to popular belief, leprechauns were only prominent in later Irish folklore for they barely appeared in mythology. However, as far as I know, many of these traps are made by children and families according to Pinterest and other sites. And some of these can get rather elaborate and creative. Yet, no matter how ingenious such trap ideas are, they tend to have one critical flaw: that each one is designed without accounting the notion that leprechauns have magical apparition powers that make them very tricky and hard to catch in the first place. In other words, these guys can So while these traps could manage to capture a leprechaun, it probably won’t stay in the trap for long. However, as long as making one is fun and brings out creativity in the classroom or anywhere else, who cares? They have contests for these things. After all, in the world of Harry Potter, catching a leprechaun for a pot of gold is a worthless endeavor anyway. Because leprechaun gold is known to disappear after a period of time. So for your viewing pleasure, I present to you the multitude of ways people try to catch a leprechaun.

  1. There’s nothing more irresistible to a leprechaun than a large pot of free gold.
0e9c7884532dfd4bafee17b234ec4ddb

Not sure if it’s going to work. Because to a leprechaun, free gold seems a little bit too good to be true.

2. Toadstools are just the things that make a leprechaun feel at home.

1c78ea8869f1b25c2b56ea21dd263950

For some reason, this kind of reminds me of something you’d see in Super Mario Bros. Maybe it’s because the toadstools look so flat.

3. Those who construct mazes for lab rats can always devise a way to capture a leprechaun.

1fa2bf7f006c2802ef1cd105091d1752

Man, someone must’ve had a lot of time on their hands to construct a trap maze like this one. Still, even if it doesn’t work, it’s very well done.

4. Of course, you can always go with the diorama option.

02cb4d771cbfc44cd98ea5f4aff333aa

Whoever made this trap is also using reverse psychology as well. Yeah, they totally don’t want the leprechaun in there (not really).

5. If you can, make sure the trap resembles a leprechaun’s natural habitat as closely as possible.

I guess this is a miniature garden option. Like the little trunk cage with the wooden steps.

6. When in doubt, you can always use a hat trap.

5a9e60709140bed103669ef5786d2925

This is a common type of leprechaun trap. The leprechaun is supposed to climb up the ladder and fall into the hat.

7. When it comes to trapping leprechauns, you can always try to make them feel at home.

5c346956c8ca9c930cfda19579f23d9b

Well, this one seems rather unassuming since it’s seems more like a Saint Patrick’s Day decorated house. Then again, I can be wrong.

8. What leprechaun can’t resist a visit to the Gold Coin Inn?

5d6a23a8a6deec32f4b64352affe2019

Now this seems like a cozy bed and breakfast just for leprechauns to lodge at. Of course, appearances can be deceiving.

9. Sometimes to get a pot of gold, you’d have to leave out a pot of gold.

7a0a98bc46dd772d8850a241e1df6658

This is a gold coin trick trap in which the leprechaun sets off a trap by taking advantage of the free gold. This one also depends on reverse psychology, too.

10. To make a leprechaun trap more enticing, it helps that you add rainbows, clouds, and flowers.

7a0378aa7f9c0c49cca82e7775ef60b0

Because sometimes free gold isn’t enough to lure a leprechaun in. Still, this one kind of gives you a feel of a flower garden.

11. When it comes to luring leprechauns, sometimes a rainbow box and goodies are all you need.

8e9f931e3a8c87573a792f2b13a4ef78

This one contains a pretzel rainbow treat and some white Oreos inside. The box is made from popsicle sticks.

12. Got an old birdhouse? Make a leprechaun trap out of it.

8f2f7e19b3619c8d08d9e8261d81852e

Not sure how this works. But I do like how this is decorated and painted. So cute.

13. Leprechauns, check into the Leprechaun Inn and stay awhile.

9ee832f56412192039d97de4d3fb216a

It’s said that while many tend to check in, they don’t check out. I wonder why.

14. For a place to stay, all the leprechaun needs to do is follow the rainbow road.

40af42c20f47a1325addadb532c01ffa

This looks like the kind of house a leprechaun is sure to love. Still, little does an unsuspecting leprechaun know what’s in there.

15. Sometimes leprechauns can’t resist the rainbow path to riches or ruin.

48f82cb347c8fa8e2af42b58bf409069

This one just has the leprechaun walk right in under the box. Not sure if one will manage to run into the stick.

16. When rainbows won’t do, you can always go with a shamrock shape.

56ade85a0ac1094d23178e6c3c89aa13

In this one, the leprechaun lust walks to get the gold under the hat before upsetting the stick. And it seems like this boy is proud of his creation.

17. Sometimes the pot of gold has to be seen as clear as day.

3f0b956f64d388a6c992d9047a1682ff

Because sometimes you have to get the leprechaun to want to climb the ladder. So transparent containers are one way to do it.

18. When it comes to leprechaun traps, some can go all out.

5f292c771fa052b0f912513b7af52c75

This one has 2 castle towers, a road of stones, a background filled with flowers, and more. Not sure what the triggering mechanism in this is though.

19. A wired cage provides a well secure holding place.

3eb14cc97b41e66e3a9b78f4c22b05ab

I guess the leprechaun has to climb the rainbow ladder before falling in from the top door. Still, I like the stop signs on this one.

20. Occasionally, a leprechaun might be tempted to enter a large, green box.

56b5fe7d292bf72fca98d2cacfc645bc

This seems like something a leprechaun would love. Yet, I really like the rainbow bow the best.

21. A bug cage is just as capable of trapping leprechauns if you customize it properly.

95b55a6f0f636d8851c824e77dd45b63

This one has a rainbow on the side and offers free gold in. However, little do leprechauns know, kids use these to trap bugs, too.

22. Some may put gold in a box while other use baskets.

135d50b4bf7bcd59f3cb765960613d82

Leprechaun just has to climb up the twig ladder to get in the wicker basket. Still, at least those inedible candy hearts are put to good use.

23. Any leprechaun should be able to make themselves at home in Leprechaun Lane.

150a5b4056fd4cb6653385255ca2f7a1

And it’s all covered in shamrocks and yellow butterflies for a leprechaun’s delight. Not to mention, the gold coin inside.

24. When making a leprechaun trap, sometimes towel rolls and boxes come in handy.

82fec1d1165fa48b3a2aa1ac218dbc29

This one uses a shoe box, some cardboard slabs, and a paper towel holder. Yes, I know cardboard is flimsy as a building material, but this was made by a child for God’s sake.

25. Leprechauns are happy to stop by the End of the Rainbow Motel.

769bfb8d35374af690aba41aff5830bf

Once again, the bug cage is employed. But it sure looks like a very nice place to stay. Don’t mind the trap door as you pass through it.

26. If you can only use a small space, use a can.

29f25b0ee3dbabd52313edb07d66adc4

Well, as long as you have a big enough can. Still, this one is decorated with a felt rainbow, a felt shamrock, and a cloud in the back.

27. Seems like another Gold Coin Inn is open for business.

985abb8e455d27cf920fe9d4885f9c7f

Then again, this one has more tasteful decor as the other one. But still contains gold coins so leprechauns won’t care.er Gold Coin Inn is open for business.

28. A leprechaun trying to get gold coins in this contraption might not want to look up.

942bea794d871e86ece97d9b7e8a6803

Yeah, once that leprechaun gets a hold of the gold, the mechanism will trigger and the can will drop. Works like a lucky charm.

29. When in doubt, sometimes it helps to use hospitality.

1010c47afc4d7379ddada6cc44053e54

Hmm…”Welcome to Rainbow Valley.” Wonder where that is. Sounds very suspicious.

30. Never underestimate the power of Lego engineering technology.

2478db9c0beb911a08d808813e4554fb

Oh, Lego, is there nothing you can’t do? I’m sure the leprechaun about to be captured hasn’t seen nothing yet.

31. C’mon, leprechauns, go in for the gold.

3548c1fe9fc41c6f989fea265db65d37

Just don’t mind the door closing as you fall in. Also, don’t bet on getting out right away either.

32. Sometimes a leprechaun trap can be made from the simplest materials.

6606a6e7a5ae6504ba454d535440bc38

And here is a description to show you. Let’s hope that Batman doesn’t mind lending his ladder for awhile, okay?

33. To lure a leprechaun, sometimes offering a big cash prize helps tremendously.

066282f3b2b4e5980aeb222030ede7c2

Yes, get them hooked on the pennies if you can. They won’t know that they’re worthless pieces of US currency.

34. Just remove the stick and the cloud collapses over them.

80269bb3410f80119f702b7d8bdbaf98

Wonder how they got this one to stand up. But I’m sure the leprechaun would find the plastic coins irresistible.

35.Of course, making a leprechaun trap isn’t always child’s play.

379326

This one is made from a series of Rube Goldberg devices. But nevertheless, it had to be made with some degree of adult supervision.

36. Sometimes it helps if you put the pot of gold up a notch.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Because when the leprechaun tries to reach the gold, the cage will fall on it. Still, love the shamrock decorations on this one.

37. The Gold Inn is open and ready for business.

859824f94b6880c88047ac4021591150

Of course, a leprechaun can check in as long as it likes. But it can never leave. Still, love the bling on this.

38. For leprechaun traps, you can do a lot with a shoe box.

4555808d3f209f6f711b63a3c4d2fd25

If IKEA designed a leprechaun trap, who’s to bet that it would look like this? Yet, there would be some assembly required.

39. Get your pot of gold and don’t mind the cloud above.

6262971e23fdb7bffc1f675ca6150ded

Because once the leprechaun gets the gold, the cloud would fall. But at least it’s fluffy.

40. Sometimes a large space will do the trick.

155713500add2eac9ab389cc7d093a6c

This one seems to be made on a planter and has an umbrella like cage. But at least it’s green.

41. That’s right, leprechauns, step right up and follow the glittery gold path.

Of course, the leprechaun will fall through and won't be able to get out for awhile. But you have to account for these things.

Of course, the leprechaun will fall through and won’t be able to get out for awhile. But you have to account for these things.

42. Who knew that Luck Charm marshmallows can be good for garden paths?

a42d76340a0cdb136b9941d8b43e281e

Leftover Mardis Gras beads also help, too. Particularly the green ones. But you have to love this set up.

43. Sometimes it helps to make a big  impression.

a41552e371c13ae67097babe313668d1

Yes, leprechauns, enter this humble abode. They have free gold. Don’t miss this offer.

44. Sometimes a small trap compartment is all you need.

641874d1ebc04b15ffeb48787147c1c7

Yes, it might not look like much. But they sure put a lot into advertising. Like how some parts of this trap shine.

45. Keep in mind that some leprechauns prefer more naturalistic surroundings.

aff9cd300ae2acb26a80f198ddd534dd

Seems like this leprechaun trap was made from a shoebox and some stuff you might find in the woods. Not sure if they used gold as bait.

46. There are many leprechauns out there who can’t resist a gold mine.

b9d2dbc9526f2f79bae9de7fa500ca9b

Who knew you can make stuff like this with only cardboard and popsicle sticks. This is amazing. if you think about it.

47. When it comes to trapping leprechauns, sometimes a small trash bin can be very effective.

c4b31a8c97034bd9b9bdb78c61d2be0a

Not sure if chartreuse is a great color for this. But I do like the pipe cleaner rainbow and the cotton ball clouds on this.

48. I bring you the cake trap.

c8eeef57276533482d702810643ff6c3

I actually showed this cake before in last year’s Saint Patrick’s treat post. It was a just a cross section. But I didn’t know is was a leprechaun trap at the time.

49. When gold isn’t available, it doesn’t hurt to use Barbie as bait.

c821c44319f172337748316b961bc891

Apparently, some kid understands how sex sells in this line. Yet, does Barbie set a good example for young girls in this situation?

50. If you can, it helps to go big and all out.

cd3daa5b120cba0b22b6e9f93e2c1e74

Seems like this boy spared no expense constructing this leprechaun trap. Still, it won’t do well for leprechauns who are afraid of heights.

51. This hat trap puts the pot of gold below the hat.

c5074feb3aee3c9c759b843d812cf3d9

Kind of reminds me of something I’d see on some Saint Patrick’s Day miniature golf course. Yet, by design the sticks aren’t very sturdy.

52. Sometimes the use of a backdrop can really come in handy.

ce366d67daea1b3f0b4bfbda66d68c21

Of course, if I were that leprechaun, I’d proceed with caution with that pot of gold. I guess one might be stuck there for awhile.

53. This leprechaun trap seems to give me spots, white ones, too.

d1d83e5651e8eabf5afcce59c41ca7d0

Yes, leprechaun, just follow the polka dot road to the polka dot box. There will be a pot of gold there but you won’t get out for some time.

54. Sometimes a plant trap is enough to seal the deal.

d2c3d233c1ca0f1b32b1cb878ace69a7

I’m sure the foliage in this is fake. But I’m sure any nature loving leprechaun would be duped by this, especially if baited with gold coins.

55. What leprechaun can ever resist a sparkly green house?

d3fcc28fb1ee0141a4a556ec43f893f2

Of course, this house will be full of surprises. Some of them pleasant, some not. Still, love the shamrocks.

56. What leprechaun can ever resist a large gift wrapped in green?

dde837c9f26e336ec9d2c1236e2caae9

Yes, I’m sure whoever made this never wanted anyone to open this box. Well, anyone who isn’t a leprechaun anyway.

57. Guess this leprechaun trap is a literal gilded cage.

df4fb4aa6be22d274c5b781328fe30c5

A leprechaun may know seeing this. But since leprechauns are so drawn in by gold, they may not even care.

58. Sometimes putting a rainbow on top of the trap is a great way to advertise.

eb47cd8a58b4b5a8fdac66c98feccbfe

Because it’s said that there’s a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Not sure how many leprechauns fall for that trick.

59. For some extra greedy leprechauns, you might need a bigger pot of gold.

eb573ea8e0bda04c5192ce2a57df2d4d

Man, that looks like a very big pot of gold for a trap like this. Still, love the rainbow and clouds though.

60. Leprechaun house or trap, you decide.

ec9a5ef3bb84ccdb1d70f3467e44454d

Either way, it’s supposed to be made from recycled materials. Still, I like the flowers on this one as well as the fence.

61. A small hut and fake turf shall do it.

ef12d54e8df2dcee95d03afac0c554e2

This one has grass made out of tissue paper. And the hut is of some green construction paper. Of course, it was made by a child.

62. When in doubt, go with a house with all the green and gold you can muster.

f8ba7447a52cdc3e55e6b8dc7713d699

This one is a green house with a gold roof. And it has all the Saint Patrick’s Day decor any leprechaun desires.

63. You can make a suitable shack with popsicle sticks.

f44a0dba4eb2a598ff312bf75496918d

Yes, this might not look like much with the sticks and shamrocks. But I’m sure gold is bound to be found inside.

64. Aside from Legos, Lincoln logs are also a suitable building material.

f56e7f3f4a91badfe4a33bce8701a96b

Not sure if this is one trap or two. But both somehow take Lincoln log construction to a whole new level.

65. When in doubt, go with a bigger cage.

f966acc914a8c9cde4796ff19be85586

This one is a wooden cage with shamrocks. And it even has a rainbow in back to signal that there’s gold inside.

66. Sometimes printable decorations make everything look better.

fa15a424c56f714abd302345c65cb5ae

Well, this one seems to be designed by Hallmark. Nevertheless, it’s quite cute.

67. Got net? Perhaps trap some leprechauns with it.

ff876c6fdde383791f01138114632812

I’m sure the leprechaun is in for a surprise once it tries to get its hands on those gold coins. Sometimes net traps can be tricky.

68. Don’t have a box to trap a leprechaun? No problem.

leprec6

I guess the net is a trap mechanism. Still, you have to like how this person made a trap like this without using a box. Like the decorations.

69. A cage can be a rather homey place with the right decorations.

LeprechaunTrap-@beautyandbedlam1

Not sure how big this one is. But I think it’s rather well done if you ask me.

70. Sometimes it helps if you attach the gold to the box.

lt6

I’m sure that will lure those little leprechauns in like a charm. Still, this is a rather clever idea.

71. It’s always said, leprechauns are real suckers for gold as seen here.

b4e83494f0a1f5a26ebd38ae21836f3e

This one has “Gold” in big golden letters. Not to mention the golden ribbons at the edge of the box.

72. A trap of gold, green, and rainbows, is one a a leprechaun can’t seem to resist.

Prize-Winning-Leprechaun-Trap

This one has rainbow paths made from beads, coins, and green stuff to any leprechauns delight. Of course, it’ll only enjoy it for a limited time.

73. As leprechauns know, a rainbow can always help advertise for free gold.

dcc199361a2dce7991eb6de7886701aa

But as we all know, sometimes offers of riches are too good to be true. This is especially for leprechauns in this case.

74. I’m sure a leprechaun trap like this has the Midas touch.

BenLepTrap

This one seems to be decorated with shamrocks and shiny paper. And it has a rainbow on top for good measure.

75. Leprechauns, enjoy your stay at the Happy Patrick Hotel.

s6

The place where leprechauns can stay as long as they like. But keep in mind, their stay might be longer than expected.

76. If a hotel doesn’t work, try a bank.

234658c5798872e9d03c92fc8d970958

Of course, this is just a box that just says “Gold Bank.” But I’m sure leprechauns won’t know the difference.

77. When it comes to leprechaun traps, sometimes decorations serve to entice them.

125710c1b85bbbf27253a36a6376cc99

This one has a table, rainbow, cage, and others. And I’m sure the cage is bound to contain some gold.

78. C’mon, leprechauns, have a drink at Sham Rogue’s Pub.

0219151206b

Guess someone has a few ideas about Irish stereotypes. Still, I guess leprechauns love to hang out at their pubs, too.

79. To make the gold stand out as bait, sometimes a green backdrop is required.

dc93b991c3dc4bd88bd87e13d408ff9e

This one seems to go for the green in a big way. Still, like how they used a strawberry basket as a cage.

80. For leprechauns, all that glitters for them is gold.

b6ced211972c48b5ce575e9663c582fd

Now this one seems rather enticing to a leprechaun. Still, not sure if any of them would be familiar with palm trees.

Top of the Morning with These Lucky Saint Patrick’s Day Craft Projects

6b94e633761ace6766b559cb3a4b091b

While I’m not the kind of person who goes all out for Saint Patrick’s Day, there are plenty of people who do. And yes, there are people who do put up Saint Patrick’s Day decorations like the person above. Nevertheless, when Saint Patrick’s Day rolls around, you can bet that plenty of grade school children will be doing some type of craft project on the holiday. Decorating motifs usually consist of shamrocks, leprechauns, pots of gold, a Celtic cross, booze, green stuff, rainbows, and other things. And while there are Saint Patrick’s Day decorations available in stores, there are some people tend to make on their own, which I’ve seen on Pinterest. However, sometimes it was hard for me to find some of the DIY decor since a lot of Saint Patrick’s Day craft projects are aimed for children. This doesn’t surprise me. Yet, it kind of frustrates me because the craft projects I usually show are aimed for adults and consist of stuff one can make but use forever. So for your reading pleasure, I bring you a treasure trove of craft projects for Saint Patty’s Day.

  1. Grace your front door with this shamrock wreath of green.
0c57ca95a7ce7c9c39b229720f5a004f

Seems like you take a regular wreath and put some fake foliage and shamrocks on it. And you’re good to go.

2. These 4 leaf clover necklaces are bound to give you good luck.

0c8448f900e8745e85d8a53da672abc8

These two have some newsprint and a 4 leaf clover encased in a glass pendant. Appear to come in gold and bronze.

3. With this wreath, you can have both shamrocks and rainbows.

0dcea825a20912ed230ec165070df227

This one appears to be made from burlap and felt. And the rainbow appears in a banner.

4. Got some empty green bottles? Make some shamrock candle holders out of them.

0fe14848c4dc5258726f9c005bd52f47

Not sure whether these came from a craft store or beer case. Either way, they’ll be in the Saint Patrick’s Day spirit with shamrocks on them.

5. Spare flower pots always make great leprechaun hats.

0ff5a1e6286b4707100a1f00e7672945

Seems like this would be a great project for kids. But these nevertheless look quite cute if you ask me.

6. If you don’t want to get pinched on March 17, this headband is for you.

1f6fae1dcb82e05faeceecc66c862b99

This one seems rather simple to make. Just put some green shamrocks on it and craft stones and you’re good to go.

7. Curl up on the couch this Saint Patrick’s Day with this shamrock pillow.

1f40b2f9e13ed962129d972a65a3fcc0

Now your furniture won’t get pinched this Saint Patrick’s Day. Even if it’s a bright orange couch in your living room.

8. Cover your wreath with green and shamrock ribbons.

2b3185c9c154962646dbc6639460db8d

This is a yearn ribbon wreath of green. It has gold shamrocks at front. Still, it’s pretty.

9. If you aren’t a wreath person, you can always go with flowers.

1bde89b8e74ba56edab0a61d4f2c1f3e

Well, fake flowers that you might find in a cemetery anyway. Because most of the spring flowers aren’t out yet at least in my neck of the woods.

9. Store your Saint Patty’s Day decorations in this one of a kind crate.

2edcd3b505088c944a811d7f0ccdefff

Not sure if I could do that design. But as long as the crate was prebuilt at the store, I think I could paint it green.

10. A leprechaun hat bouquet always makes a great Saint Patrick’s Day centerpiece.

2f136adbbe334fb5720b052ad34c296d

Yes the flowers are fake. And I’m sure that’s a cut out flower pot. But if you’re someone who’s a repressed art major, this a great project for you.

11.For extra luck, grace your door this Saint Patrick’s Day with this rainbow wreath.

4ee794e19d5b205473cb037e15f015b1

This one is covered as a rainbow in ribbons. And covered in shamrock garlands. All in all, I think this is beautiful.

12. Nothing goes better in your home this Saint Patrick’s Day than this shamrock tree.

4ef9cce1b8ef961b5d17c6882fca0a7d

And the best part is, you don’t have to water it. Also. the shamrocks on this are so shiny.

14. Of course, you can always go with the conifer option.

5d4473116f7ed5503a01c726ec3954e7

Yes, this is another shamrock tree. However, this one has shamrocks all over it in a different variation.

15. If you want more leaves on your Saint Patrick’s Day wreath, this is the one for you.

6c9cee56a4fe311630571464992a4224

Sure the foliage may be fake and seem it’s straight from a cemetery. Yet, I do love the wooden shamrock on this one.

16. For a simpler Saint Patrick’s Day wreath, one won’t need to look further than this.

6f9e7ee0c43e46ff4850cd65695cc30a

This one is just a plain white wreath with some ribbon and shamrock decorations on them. Looks pretty doable compared to some of the other ones.

17. A shamrock hair clip like this is bound to have the luck of the Irish.

7b2f045c25f440617bf32331b75d7c76

This shamrock clip is made from different shades of green ribbon and a fake pearl. Nevertheless, it’s very pretty.

18. A shamrock wreath like this will always bring you luck at your front door.

8cff192e8045208b569f9ecca6c1a55d

This one is a 4 leaf clover wreath which is said to be made from cloth and coat hangers. Not sure what else.

19. Sometimes a cushion and ribbon wreath is all you need.

9f13cc1e218b759fed1c656987970d78

Well, not sure if these were scraps or cut out that way. But at any rate, it sure looks soft and cozy even if it’s not.

20. A green wreath of tulle like this is bound to give you luck.

34af040fde5ed8d08527525912c1e594

This one even has Luck spelled on here. And in a banner of shamrocks, too. Not sure if it would give you the luck of the Irish.

21. When in doubt a green wreath of spots will always suit your fancy.

43a7884eac884765273ba8349b3d7d70

You might have noticed that I have a lot of wreaths on this post for Saint Patrick’s Day. That may be so, but so does Pinterest.

22. Nothing says Saint Patrick’s Day than wearing a green bow and a rainbow necklace.

46f1cf49ca60446c3ea651088badca75

Yes , these things are meant for little girls. But it’s in the spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day so it goes on. Besides, they’re cute.

23. They say that a bag of gold at your front door is bound to give you good fortune.

48c2c5355c3eb4800f6199295c8138b4

Well, this one is filled with shamrocks and plastic gold coins. However, I doubt the leprechauns would be fooled by this one.

24. Those who don’t care for a shamrock wreath can always go with flowers.

66a314e4a212bc942487e01cc0b7a75b

Well, as long sa the flowers are green, white, and yellow. Oh, and the foliage consists of English ivy. Still, pretty.

25. For Saint Patty’s Day kisses, this sign will show everyone that you’re Irish.

69c52d585db594249bdd0d0de1e69af6

And this sign has plenty of kisses to go around. I’m sure this was painted on wood and put on a stand.

26. Nothing says Saint Patrick’s Day than gracing your home with some wooden shamrocks on stands.

82da348da26891aa94031b016e63edb3

And they seem to come in different colors and patterns. The sparkly green one is my favorite out of these 3.

27. For Saint Patrick’s Day wreath, green and white always make a wonderful contrast.

91d6d4e222380db55c124618e12b70a1

This one is covered in white with flowers and shamrocks. And it’s held by a green polka dot ribbon. Great for any door on Saint Patrick’s Day.

28. If you want to get even more lucky on Saint Patrick’s Day, it helps if you put some shamrocks in a frame.

2c4b59babac54ec835adf34d14230fb1

Because you can never have enough shamrocks in shades of green for one frame. Some of these even have glitter on them.

29. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day with this leprechaun wreath.

93d2167152a8ad034d6b08faf79ef8a4

Sure it doesn’t show the whole leprechaun but it has a hat and legs. Wreath is also in the shape of a heart.

30. Add color to your Saint Patrick’s Day table with these rainbow wands.

482feabc4687b42725fa04d6d0a1149d

These make great toys for kids. And it also makes a great table centerpiece that you can use for years even when they get older.

31. Luck will always come this Saint Patrick’s Day when you have a large shamrock at your door.

514d84df9aacc02ad3895bfac52b4fe5

This one is said to be covered in green cloth scraps. But it has the word, “Lucky” at the center. Still, I like it.

32. When it comes to Saint Patrick’s Day wreaths, a rainbow one can’t go without shamrocks.

817bf5f82f09d1812f319abe591d516a

Yes, this is another rainbow wreath for Saint Patrick’s Day. But this one has shamrocks on the side unlike the previous one.

33. This Saint Patrick’s Day wreath is guaranteed to bring you luck in stripes.

888af32385fee453cabd2de607422801

I bet whoever made this used a lot of green and white ribbon. Still, I like the shamrock in the center though.

34. For the more rustic type on Saint Patrick’s Day, these blocks will suit your home just fine.

7ba91a5f4bb8a3a62d71cf6bef14b4b1

These consist of shamrocks, leprechaun beard and coat, leprechaun hat and shoes, and a pot of gold. And they’re all painted a dark green and white.

35. A tulle wreath like this on Saint Patrick’s Day will bring you a lot of luck.

57312cd4d2eb2059c9b42dce3f9eb990

Well, it’s my second tulle wreath of green on this post. But it’s made in a different variation than the previous one.

36. Celebrate this Saint Patrick’s Day with your very own leprechaun hat.

057766e0c8e4f6f0c3225c24add993a1

Has a headband to help you put it on and keep on your head. Yet, it’s touched with a green shamrock and a shiny belt buckle.

37. There’s bound to be a pot of gold on this rainbow wreath.

670544abfc33d863ce889a8e1aa54072

Sure the rainbow on this one is neverending. But at least there’s a pot of gold smack dab in the center.

38. A leprechaun hat like this comes in wooden blocks.

9453869d31b161d96d1c8171f3d98424

Nevertheless, it looks great on anyone’s table. But depending on whether these might be glued on together, some assembly may be required.

39. Those wanting the leprechaun’s pot of gold might want to set up a trap like this.

acb9bdd1a091b300177df281f8d8f72c

However, if you live in the Harry Potter universe, keep in mind that it’s a worthless endeavor. Because even if you do catch a leprechaun that leads you to his pot of gold, the gold will just disappear in a few hours anyway.

40. A golden shamrock is always a fine addition to any home on Saint Patrick’s Day.

9910f7796947a088201081f2454a081e

This shamrock is made from thumbtacks on a green background. However, before you do any thumbtack art, make sure it’s on a thick flat surface.

41. Store your golden goodies this Saint Patrick’s Day in this rainbow glitter vase.

b5f3ec6d84085e33eb37b3bb528058ce

Sure the gold in here is candy. But I do love the glittery rainbow on this thing. However, glitter glue does make a big mess as I remember correctly.

42. Be extra lucky this Saint Patrick’s Day with this lucky charm bracelet.

b7ef964515efc988f8145b1a6847eb4f

Because on a holiday like Saint Patrick’s Day, this kind of stuff has to exist. Includes horseshoes, rainbows, Irish flags, shamrocks, pots of gold, and a leprechaun.

43. If you got empty green bottles, put some green flowers in them.

bfd7b59e7d3be04f67e2bf6808d06728

Of course, you’ll have to make the flowers first. But these ones look very lovely.

44. This Saint Patrick’s Day, turn some old toilet paper rolls into leprechauns.

c2642b8c6a1b28b0d7af31ba2403a7eb

Sure this is more of kid’s project. But these are nevertheless adorable. I especially like the beards.

45. Grace your front door this Saint Patrick’s Day with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

240d001bf5118568edfc96bf26582713

Well, it’s decorated with plastic coins and shamrocks. However, I think the rainbow is the best part of this.

46. Proclaim your Irishness this Saint Patrick’s Day with these blocks.

c63263b51badb77e0b0211b5736724ec

Well, I have to but block stuff somewhere in this post. And I might as well go with these.

47. Welcome visitors to your humble home this Saint Patrick’s Day with this block decoration.

aada4bb5e8d326dc113d41f482607715

Might not light up like previous ones I showed you on other posts. But it sure looks pretty to put on a mantle or buffet table.

48. Adorn your hair this Saint Patrick’s Day with this shamrock clip.

46506d0404bad3bd97ce10351776d2ab

The button is made from wood while the other shades of green are made from felt. Still, it’s cute.

49. An empty bottle of Irish cream always makes a great place for flowers.

3a537273f96cd1c2fb5bf282d591e214

And I’m sure this decoration would make a great centerpiece. Love the glitter and the shamrocks on this one though.

50. You can’t attend a Saint Patrick’s Day parade without a pair of pot of gold earrings.

d95b54c4059b097dda64eb479edfd356

I’m sure this isn’t for weak lobes like mine (as I learned the hard way). Still, you have to like the pots of gold on these.

51. A lucky lass on Saint Patrick’s Day always has shamrocks in her hair.

d883f835d32419dffbe7eeb5e917a74a

Yes, these are shamrocks on barettes. But these do look adorable even when not on someone’s hair.

52. Green flowers always go great near any fireplace.

daec52cc3d02239da0a783428f9c73ad

For some reason, I usually don’t see flowers as green. Probably because I’m more used seeing the green on the leaves and stems.

53. Show your love for the Irish this Saint Patrick’s Day with these shamrock heart hair clips.

daf0971859345b04811b4a136ad48e6f

Sure they may be better suited for young girls. But you have to admit, these are pretty adorable to say the least.

54. Nothing makes Irish eyes smile more than a green bauble wreath.

de04d4c746c439c05589db6d4736f948

Just to warn you, baubles are delicate things so be very careful not to drop any while handling them. Still, I do love the shamrock ribbon on this thing.

55. A sizeable hat makes a great trap for a leprechaun.

de4fddb7d44f0a220aedd624689da18a

Not sure what the hat is made of (which is possibly felt or construction paper). Still, I do like the twig ladder and the sign.

56. Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day this year wearing a light up tutu of an Irish flag.

a4c0e802c26b9b263af14562a4132fb9

If it weren’t for the shamrock waistline, I’d swear this would be great for wearing at a football game at my old high school. Not that I would.

57. For Saint Patrick’s Day ceiling decorations, you can’t go wrong with a rainbow cloud.

df5f56c020010e79c589b92030371ee4

Well, I know this is more or less advertised as a birthday decoration. But since rainbows are associated with Saint Patrick’s Day, it goes on the post.

58. Nothing brings you in the spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day than a tulle leprechaun wreath at your door.

df408b9cb5f5fabb2205bc1ad363b6bb

And to capture Irish gingerness, the wreath is primarily orange. But it does have a green hat and pipe.

59. Keep warm this Saint Patrick’s Day with this leprechaun hat beanie.

5720ef5e8c5a81e162dab7f51e430da3

Not sure what size this is supposed to be. But at any rate, I have to like the buckle on this one.

60. For those who view Saint Patrick’s Day as a sacred holiday, this wreath is for you.

e4fdea3433b27d1790e46581c4a3f94b

Well, I had to put some religious imagery on this post with a Celtic cross. Because it is seen as a religious holiday in Ireland because Saint Patrick is their patron saint.

61. You can’t attend the Saint Patrick’s Day parade without the appropriate top hat.

c3cc2eeb233ce0b3e5516469773cf3e4

Now this is a fancy hat to wear to a parade. Not sure if I’d want to wear that during a mugshot though.

62. Bring the lucky spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day to your home by hanging this shamrock tapestry.

ea4c1ed096545a3d67ddab9f4e3c3b19

Made of felt with 4 shamrocks on them and the words “Luck” with a horseshoe “U.” Still, you have to want to hang this on your wall.

63. If you’re lucky this Saint Patrick’s Day, then say it with pennies.

ef3836639722aab50f31d05df0befa19

Pennies: the only form of US currency you can use for craft projects. Because they’re totally worthless as US currency.

64. Nothing says Saint Patrick’s Day like rainbow trees.

SONY DSC

Sure rainbows might not lead you to a pot of gold. But I sure like these trees. Bet they’re fertilized with unicorn poop.

65. The best spot to put a pot of gold is on a rainbow table runner.

c28e573dc1c2d3e5536b6eeec376183a

If it were me, I’d just go with the runner that’s made of felt. After all, who doesn’t love rainbows?

66. For some Saint Patrick’s Day fun, you can’t do without a leprechaun peg doll as well as his rainbow bunting and pot of gold.

51192e09c11ce655b2b29986917fbb37

Yes, this leprechaun is just chilling on his log with his pot of gold and rainbow. So cute.

67. Light up your home on Saint Patrick’s Day with this shamrock glass block lamp.

f7301fa15dde8e1cf3a97a7585b6b619

Well, the shamrock is a little lopsided if you look at it closely. But the border is nice.

68. With this costume, your little one will be the perfect little leprechaun.

fc74da415bce6d6740221d6537ad11c7

Sure it might lead to some embarrassing photo ops for your kid in the later years. But right now, they can’t really remember anyway.

69. On Saint Patrick’s Day, a wee Irish lass can’t go without her own pair of shoes.

5b3f4f82037ae999ca86e8dd9f3330d5

This is a pair of baby booties for baby girls for Saint Patrick’s Day. And yes, they’re adorable enough to make your heart melt.

70. Don’t like wreaths? This leprechaun door hanging is just for you.

f244e90937c0c45678ac23322184016d

Well. it only shows the hat and legs. And the flowers are fake. But still, looks quite festive.

71. It’s not Saint Patrick’s Day unless you see a leprechaun on a wooden panel.

5d8b99840b8af5cf3f4c43693611cde7

Well, it might require some nailing a board to get the hat. But the leprechaun seems to have a smile on his face.

72. Got old wine bottles? Decorate them for Saint Patrick’s Day.

5a136043a61ad4835c329dc1cc6fe444

Well, while one bottle is unchanged, the other ones are painted green and decorated for Saint Patrick’s Day. One has a leprechaun belt.

73. Keep your little leprechaun warm this Saint Patrick’s Day with this little stocking cap.

35ebd51d36258d08b78dd35c115551cd

Yes, it comes with a fake beard to keep your baby’s chin warm. Still, it’s incredibly adorable.

74. For Saint Patrick’s Day, you can’t raise a better glass than this one.

2d64077f789e8dc76c0b080f3920552c

Like the saying on this, “Kiss me, I’m drunk. I mean Irish.” Not sure if you’d want to drink with this one.

75. Nothing says Saint Patrick’s Day than a potted rainbow.

64e8f272e6b437fdc428eee82da55ea7

Well, it’s a pot of gold with a rainbow and cloud on top. This is so clever, creative, and cute.

76. On Saint Patrick’s Day, cuddle up with this little leprechaun doll.

ff6b50454df0b24a16ef0994b0ada504

This is a knitted leprechaun doll which is derived from a pattern. Nevertheless, this is adorable.

77. Go to the Saint Patrick’s Day this year with a feather in your hat.

30c053ff9fae940bc6a11d4e0096f996

Now this hat looks rather snazzy. Like the shamrock bow on this one. Wouldn’t want to be drunk wearing it though.

78. A glass block lamp like this can bring out a shiny shamrock.

42136802a2a13f6ee01503c3aeefb8c6

Yes, I know this is another glass block light. But this one has a ribbon and a shinier shamrock.

79. Bring the spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day without this tulle rainbow cloud wreath.

il_570xN.427974287_j7wp

Now I wouldn’t mind having a wreath like this for Saint Patrick’s Day. Also, like the shamrock in the center.

80. For a little boy and girl, these leprechaun hats are perfect match.

2aa5465e6ddf052a22a01156b2b6a03c

Yes, one might have a beard and another with braids. But either way, these are so cute.

81. Grace your door this Saint Patrick’s Day with this shamrock hanging.

c12b23a5c983ea479295cabde23e6813

Not sure what the shamrock hanging is made out of. But I do like the rainbow ribbon, the gold, and the felt cloud.

82. For extra luck, it can’t hurt to have a shamrock wall hanging with coins and watches.

57f428258d72a9c8c827183e2ed2f610

This is a wooden hanging of a dark green shamrock. The coins and watches are plastic, but they go well together.

83. Didn’t know you can make a leprechaun from a flower pot.

2cda050037c578aff5e95e2f926f5a03

Sure it may not have a beard and is wearing a knitted hat. Still, it so adorable that it makes your little heart melt.

84. A leprechaun hat is a great place for flowers.

Sure the carnations are fake and the pot is felt. But I think this is a nice Saint Patrick's Day arrangement.

92. Grace your home on Saint Patrick’s Day with these leprechaun shoes.

If you have small children, make sure that they're not upturned at the side of the house. Because the little one's might get upset if they've seen the Wizard of Oz.

96. I guess this Saint Patrick’s Day pillow was a patchwork effort.

Guess it's made by the same person who did the wreath earlier in this post. Still, I like it even if it might hurt Irish eyes.

Mardi Gras Mambo with These Mardi Gras Craft Projects

be4cd241752d999b9acd3e8dd64eb9c2

Another big holiday in February is Mardi Gras and that occasion tends to give rise to a lot of partying, especially in New Orleans. Because after that is Ash Wednesday which starts the Lenten season of pertinence for all you Christians out there, particularly my fellow Catholics who aren’t encouraged to eat meat on Fridays. Nevertheless, this  year, Mardi Gras falls on February 9, which is before Valentine’s Day and means that Easter will fall in March this year. Which means I can be free to do stuff pertaining to Star Trek and Harry Potter in April.  Still, I bet there are plenty people who celebrate Mardi Gras since it’s a holiday celebrated in a lot of Catholic countries in one variation or another. Yet, you also have Catholics like me who don’t celebrate the holiday as well as plenty of non-Catholics and non-Christians that do, such as in New Orleans. There it’s a tradition. Anyway, that doesn’t stop so many people from decorating their homes for the holiday or make their own costumes, which is why I’m doing this post. So for your reading pleasure, here are some crafts projects to make in preparation for Mardi Gras.

  1. A Mardi Gras wreath always have to be covered in beads.
0c19e40745dd9c253bbcd89216631ead

I bet these beads were purchased at a local Wal Mart. Yet, I do love the fleur de lis and the purple bow.

2. Do you have what it takes to make your own Mardi Gras mask?

1d73b71fc87190c0cad4a88e55615174

This is rather colorful. Bet it took a lot of time to make this though. Yet, I love the artistic detail and the trimmings.

3. Bring the festive Fat Tuesday spirit into your home with this Mardi Gras wall hanging.

2a8c890f7fc845083973a6eaea6272e7

And festive this decoration is, indeed. Love the mask and the fleur de lis. Still, must’ve taken a lot of time to make.

4. This Mardi Gras peacock tulle wreath is bound to look great on any door.

2b97b40f113f06794403bbba5f1941c7

This looks quite fancy with the peacock feathers and the purple and gold tulle around it. Nevertheless, it’s quite pretty.

5. You can’t go to a Mardi Gras party without topping it all off with some crazy feathered hat.

3c61860a125ab13c93796cad24766f70

Seems to resemble the kind of hats you probably see in a Dr. Seuss story. Then again, going crazy on Mardi Gras is to be expected.

6. You can’t have too many feathers on your Mardi Gras mask.

3cf52dccadbf29cf65aa6769b2fb665d

This mask seems to be made from silk petals, purple and yellow feathers, and gold glitter. Yet, seems easier to make than the other one.

7. Grace your door this Mardi Gras with a tulle wreath of green, purple, and yellow.

3fb36657391fc242f1530b69957c2115

Yes, this is another Mardi Gras tulle wreath. But this one has a sequin mask, a couple fleur de lis, and border of beads.

8. Of course, on Mardi Gras, you can’t forget the fleur de lis.

4e9175b9b28c0d74ddab9c882be08852

Yes, it’s a French symbol. But as an American, I’m going with the New Orleans tradition here. And people over there use it for Mardi Gras.

9. Nothing is more festive on Mardi Gras than a peacock feather wreath.

4ff37c8c045bc00b39270b28d2ce9423

I’m sure you can find peacock feathers like these at any craft store. Nevertheless, this wreath is certainly lovely if you ask me.

10. A Mardi Gras parasol makes a mighty fine centerpiece.

5a779b68148572a095487661ad3b2693

Not sure if this could fit in my dining room. Probably would yet it might make contact with the ceiling fan. Still, I love the dangling flowers. Very pretty.

11. A mask and feathers always look great on any Mardi Gras wreath.

5b04cb6c251568a87eb3f28caa6a16ed

Yes, I know I keep putting wreaths on there. But there’s a reason for that. This one has an elaborate mask as well as purple feathers sprouting on it.

12. Attend a Mardi Gras party in your very own Mardi Gras dress.

5c7822cafff30bd9a90bfd78fbd3325b

Seems like it’s mostly made from feathers glued to some dress. Nevertheless, I have to admire this woman’s creative spirit for it is rather colorful.

13. Seems like a lot of festive stuff can come out of one mere Mardi Gras hat.

5d24d74ce08158c8005ad7205e985231

I think this could either be a centerpiece or a wall hanging. I’m not sure which. Still, it’s a rather creative decoration if you ask me.

14. Shine at a Mari Gras party this year wearing this rosette mask.

5f1dd8eb98ec37e86c5878b84b186bc9

The rosettes are all made from tissue paper in this and making them takes some time. But it also has a purple feather for added effect.

15. Celebrate this Mardi Gras with your very own parasol mask centerpiece.

6d7fab9b7687bcc3d18d02fcdb723332

This looks rather pretty with feathers and see through fabric on it. Doesn’t hurt that it’s purple, too.

16. When making a Mardi Gras wreath, always put the jester mask in the center.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA

I’m sure this jester mask might potentially frighten kids. However, for some strange reason, I actually think this is cool.

17. You can’t have a better Mardi Gras decoration in your home than a fleur de lis made of beads.

6f96f3304d2515cea6f8ad26bda59e65

This is of a fleur de lis made from Mardi Gras beads you can get from any store. Yet, I’m sure making this requires a lot of time and patience.

18. A Mardi Gras tulle wreath always has to have some bows and beads on it.

7b3f31e24d600399351437e06be183d7

Out of all the tulle wreaths I’ve shown so far, this seems like the most simple to make. Then again, I’m sure you might need wires for the beads to stand up like that.

19. You can’t go to a Mardi Gras party without a headband of a fleur de lis and feathers.

7ca5cd48a9d544db675a6236310a9335

This seems to be made from stuff you’d find at any craft store and it shows. Yet, I do like the sequin fleur de lis on this though.

20. Nothing brings in the spirit of Mardi Gras than a hanging of curled up jingle shoes.

7d2ed077e9c4870d23c04d2a45c42791

I guess these are supposed to be jester shoes. Doesn’t seem to have big jingles on them. In fact, you can barely see them. But this will do.

21. Dress festively this Mardi Gras with your very won feather mask.

33c65730cbb4db9c4767d4f7bee1bd1b

This seems to be part mask and part headdress. I mean it’s covered with green, yellow, purple, and black feathers. And it has a peacock feather on the top.

22. A vase of masks and feathers makes a great centerpiece for your Mardi Gras table.

34ae4db084051160c4313c38c3c9131c

The vase is gold as I can see. And this seems to consist of a couple masks ans a lot of feathers. I see a peacock one and possibly a peasant one.

23. There is never a Mardi Gras wreath that can have too many ribbons.

36e6756fb3e4b59a434aa4e1aa461f3d

And this one seems to have all kinds of ribbons you can think of. Also, has some berries, a fleur de lis, a crown, and those shredded things.

24. Since Mardi Gras comes early this year, wrapping yourself in this quilt wouldn’t hurt.

37f4002f6459b8cdecf8df17e3259957

Yes, this is a Mardi Gras quilt. Still, this one seems to have fleur de lis and 4 different types of masks on it.

25. You can’t be better dressed for Mardi Gras than in this feather dress.

38eb5195dc6d560441ecb7e51051018d

This has a black top with purple ribbons and a skirt of green. purple, and yellow feathers. However, looks a bit short as I see it.

26. When it comes to Mardi Gras floats, just decorate a wagon.

85ba102b9bee497029b2b4cbf79bf424

Of course, only do this when your locale has its own Mardi Gras celebration like in New Orleans. Still, I’m sure this float makes this little girl feel like a princess.

27. Don’t have a Mardi Gras dress? Make your own.

97e95aa16be41f16f965d99bf96d460c

This one has a blue top with a tutu gold, blue, and purple skirt. Also includes a matching peacock mask in silver.

28. You can’t have a peacock wreath without peacock blue.

120dd6517b71f576a2f33967c5db20f7

This one is quite ornate with ribbons, gold baubles, peacock feathers, and even a couple of peacocks. Still, not sure what peacocks have to do with Mardi Gras.

29. For little girls, this outfit is the perfect Mardi Gras getup.

0201e0abdec21355dab609e7435505ce

The ribbons and bows on this outfit should be a dead giveaway that this is a girlie outfit. But it’s nevertheless a very cute one if you ask me.

30. Be pretty as a peacock this Mardi Gras with this peacock mask of gold.

496f3b9de024e10fbccea976618cec7d

Love the peacock feathers on this one. However, I wouldn’t like going to a masquerade and having to hold my mask with a stick all the time. Kind of becomes a pain.

31. Don’t have a parasol for Mardi Gras? Make your own.

667bf0a8b9924f2159c4a635b913da70

Love this one. It’s a shiny purple with purple feathers. However, hope they don’t use it in the rain. It’s more for decoration.

32. Mardi Gras beads can bring color to anything.

767d240ca798e1e6ed3b3568de2b0730

I guess this is some decorative piece for some table or something. Still, if you buy the right stuff, it looks rather doable.

33. For a simple Mardi Gras wreath, just add glitter and beads.

0949d976fd14cbb769da7b353bcd0dd6

Not sure what kind of wreath was used here and I’m positive the use of glitter would cause a real mess. However, it’s pretty.

34. Grace your coffee table this year with some Mardi Gras candles.

1601f0d4bbb4e94ac5ce041d63bcb4e0

Yes, it consists of 3 purple candles among Mardi Gras stuff. Still, even if they aren’t it, it’s still a sight to behold.

 

35. These Mardi Gras decorations go great on any mantle.

4830a0df7ef7c01603403d4fe95af2e9

These are peacock mask decor. With one, you have a table centerpiece. With 2 you have bookends.

36. For Mardi Gras, nothing makes a better wreath center than a fleur de lis.

50639c4dba67eaa1fa502ad3f6f95fd0

This wreath is covered in pom poms and beads. And it has a gold fleur de lis as well as a pied ribbon on it. Quite festive if you ask me.

37. On Mardi Gras, even the mirror has a mask.

748299258ccdf4c135514a36c0047ed9

Not sure about making a mirror into a mask. But as a Mardi Gras decoration, this is pretty cool though.

38. When it comes to Mardi Gras wreaths, you can’t go wrong with gold and purple.

8175419863e95b4f51b26a5993c3acf9

This wreath is decked with baubles, ribbons, a fleur de lis, and a purple peacock mask. I especially like the purple peacock mask in this.

39. For a black hat on Mardi Gras, there always has to be something extra.

a3cd133c8e7c2b2ee6aee5d0e96c61bc

This one is decorated with a green feather mask, 3 top hats, and a couple of black feathers. Sure is festive as I can see it.

40. Of course, you can always go with a Mardi Gras wreath of shiny green.

a4b3ddcdfb692dd2214bb4ccbf11e2f4

This wreath is decorated with ribbons, fleur de lis and a gold feathered mask. Still, I’m sure someone reading this post will like it.

41. If you don’t like wreaths on Mardi Gras, then this door decoration will do.

aa553ab9bdff4281eb5f34181ba24b22

This is a fake evergreen garland that’s made into a Mardi Gras Decoration. Includes ribbons, baubles, and 2 fleur de lis.

42. You can’t go to a Mardi Gras party without your peacock mask.

b0dd7f046ce15d4ebe7df4f09a7946a1

Yes, this is another gold peacock mask. But this one has a green stick and more peacock feathers. Still, it’s pretty.

43. As far as Mardi Gras goes, this wreath tends to have everything.

b3ce9983b17bb94b5427c8f7f909c10f

This one includes masks, peacock feathers, beads, ribbons, and baubles. It’s lovely for any door and the kind of wreath for a true Mardi Gras fan.

44. For shinier flair, go with baubles.

b60f7f6c5d7ef90ac8869123710373cb

The baubles on this wreath seem to be quite sparkly and shiny in this picture. Then again, must be the lighting.

45. Drink to your health this Fat Tuesday with Mardi Gras wine glasses.

700499d6a692191b34e40387ba1c55a5

One is of a fleur de lis and the other is of a purple mask. Either way, whoever painted these did a better job than I ever could.

46. Be king of your house party with this Mardi Gras crown block.

007501bea3b8b7bd17769c053450b53d

And boy, someone spent a lot of time on this. It’s very intricately done as you look on the crown. Love the purple ribbon though.

47. Grace your table  with this Mardi Gras fleur de lis tablecloth.

ab1d84a6d4e1548814d73f1799bbc5d2

As you can see, this isn’t for a dining room table. More for a buffet and one you use to display things. Quite shiny though.

48. Step out to a party this Mardi Gras in these beaded high heeled shoes.

2d1765a0dc69b6abd0a932b785d836be

Yes, these are sparkly high heeled shoes with yellow and purple beads on them for Mardi Gras. However, they sure don’t look comfortable and the heel is quite small.

49. Light up your Mardi Gras with these candle holders.

93edc1049b85b649adf20b2f002ad954

These are glass candle holders with some cloth around the candles as well as beads in them. Each holder has beads that are a different color from the cloth as you see.

50. For a Mardi Gras parade, it helps that you have a parasol fit for a king.

b9b492dbfb93c1908e26360fbfcff2a0

Yes, this is a parasol fit for a Mardi Gras parade with feathers, beads, and the works. Love the crown on this, by the way.

51. Cover your doorway this year with this Mardi Gras garland.

b155797ba353a007efe46f9e2b38e8ce

I’m sure it will bring the festive Mardi Gras spirit to your home. But as far as the weather goes, I think it’s best to put something like this up inside. Just saying.

52. This Mardi Gras jester hat tutu dress is bound to make any little girl smile.

2261c7f785ef43d1dbc472bdab8b362f

Yes, this is another cute dress for more wholesome little girls on Mardi Gras. And yes, it’s covered with green, gold, and purple ribbons as you can imagine.

53. Decorate your home with this Mardi Gras bead fleur de lis.

c0b262520fe4ac88099df429129e56fc

Now this one is mad of all kinds of Mardi Gras bead strings as you see. And strings of so many different colors. Still, I think this might be a pillow.

54. You just can’t have a peacock wreath without a peacock.

c14b4236f61b16ac87228157ee246bf3

This is pretty clever. Like how the feathers are all behind the peacock. Still, a real peacock would have a much fancier display.

55. Show the neighbors where the party is with this Mardi Gras lamp post.

c6870e07cde3448f609b31ddd1a1fd93

And it actually lights up, how about it? Wait, that’s just cardboard. Still, you have to like the beads and the cardboard signs on this. Really sets the Mardi Gras mood.

56. Got old bottles? Make Mardi Gras decorations out of them.

c84148eafbc85f87670bcd35b3e22ca2

These 3 bottles make a fine centerpiece on top of that dish. The green one has a hat. The gold one has feathers. And the purple one has a green mask.

57. For simple garlands, you can’t go wrong with masks.

cb4e8a208fea7463e87c50257d4ccd41

These are theatrical masks symbolizing comedy and tragedy. Not sure which one is creepier. Still, like the purple.

58. To liven up your Mardi Gras party, you can’t go wrong with these candle holders.

92a205b33c471d89e0896531b17a8085

These just consist of martini glasses with candles and Mardi Gras beads in them. Seems like a rather doable idea that doesn’t take a lot of time.

59. For a Mardi Gras door hanging, all it takes is a mask and a bow.

cc5eebc8b1f4c9c90e171a044ae7cc0a

But make sure the bow is bigger and more ornate than the mask. Still, you have to love it even though the jester mask might be a bit creepy.

60. This Mardi Gras tree makes a great party centerpiece.

cf52e5fcb3ad5238c3f896c0030e63a7

Well, all this requires are Mardi Gras beads, feathers, a plastic tube, and a stand. Still, seems like a palm tree you’d see in Dr. Seuss.

61. Light up your party with these Mardi Gras confetti glitter candles.

8e229eac4b63e98d2834b57b3f1291c3

These are glitter candles with confetti in them as you see here. The candles are fake. The confetti is real.

62. Speaking of glitter, use it to make your bottles sparkle.

dc47264c5e099420de11a585ca6b8ab8

Yes, these are wine bottles now made into Mardi Gras bottles thanks to the magic of glitter. Still, I like the purple one better.

63. For little girls in New Orleans, this dress makes the perfect Mardi Gras outfit.

371b265a0490d40129a5bcccd3c1be5d

It’s a tutu dress that comes with its own mask and hat. Nevertheless, it’s simply adorable.

64. Before you go out for Mardi Gras, don’t forget your hair combs.

e2ff1c96672027f45e066402c65df523

These are Mardi Gras beaded combs. Unfortunately, Mardi Gras beads were too big for them, so the creator went with a smaller option.

65. A vase of feathers, beads, and masks is bound to make a lovely Mardi Gras centerpiece.

0947aa3de392adfe69a75fd17e7b87bc

Seems like a bouquet you’d see in a Dr. Seuss story. But it’s nonetheless impressive if you ask me.

66. There’s no better Mardi Gras wine glass than one with spots.

e9503f90cbb432e2ff0b5ed4f2aec5fe

Of course, you might start seeing spots if you drink from this. Well, if you drink enough anyway. Still, love the feathers.

67. Celebrate Mardi Gras in your kitchen with this purple apron.

ef25d6bbc7873bba8722df8e3fa6b625

Yes, it’s an apron. It doesn’t look like a conventional one. But it’s still an apron. And it’s for Mardi Gras as you can tell by the jester mask.

68. Dress your hair with this Mardi Gras feather hair clip.

32f84f7b1f7d0e4e7cf695ce35a17251

I’m sure any woman or girl is bound to stand out with this. That yellow can be seen for miles or in the dark.

69. Alert guests to your Mardi Gras party with a mailbox bow.

f4a4ed0965cffa9c36ce305f4631a9ff

This purple, yellow, and green bow is bound to stand out among the neighborhood. Unless your neighbors are holding Mardi Gras parties of their own.

70. Lighten up your Mardi Gras  party with these fleur de lis bottle lights.

6f8631f3ca00c8a58be89ed9f1b69b43

These look pretty cool. Makes you wonder how they make these things. I mean the glass seems to be of all different colors.

71. You can’t have a great Mardi Gras wreath unless you add a mask.

f32584770d7c916d4b8333e39cf5b113

This one seems to reflect the New Orleans Mardi Gras tradition wiht a music note. But I seems that it’s weighed down for some reason. But I love the mask.

72. When it comes to Mardi Gras, you can’t do better than a feather wreath.

b5802f28206a5f926a68120fd311e36f

This one has pink masks, a pink bow, gold Mardi Gras beads, and some purple stufff rising from it. Still, The feathers seemed to be plucked by some brightly covered bird from Dr. Seuss.

73. Celebrate Fat Tuesday with your very own Mardi Gras ribbon tree.

fdada14497b908bb8e702a6277b90745

It’s a small tree of shiny purple, gold, and green ribbons. And it’s toped with a mask and some feathers. Quite creative to say the least.

74. In true New Orleans fashion, this Mardi Gras wreath will bring music to your ears.

06fcc11bd7d415fa9af782f8df86d76e

Yes, New Orleans is best known for stuff like jazz and Mardi Gras. And I shouldn’t forget Hurricane Katrina. And zydeco. And Bountygate with the Saints. Oh, and “When the Saints Go Marching In.”

75. In New Orleans, Mardi Gras parties sure are a bottle of fun.

8d369ee49b616d6590981fd070d08e47

I’m sure this bottle is recycled and so are the ribbons. Nevertheless, a lot of drinking goes on during Mardi Gras since it tends to be a holiday where people tend to party very hard. Sometimes to excess.

76. If you want to go festive on Mardi Gras, go purple.

401d254a31db842456fd510f73acbabe

And this one is all purpled out as you look at it. Still, I do love the peacock feathers on this one. And the purple border.

77. If you love Mardi Gras beads, you’ll adore this bead portrait of a blue dog.

66d87e20e5db8bfff989bb6c8a5452ef

Not sure what the blue dog has to do with Mardi Gras. Then again, maybe it’s just a blue dog dressed for Mardi Gras.

78. Celebrate Mardi Gras in style with these Mardi Gras bead wine glasses.

b13bbc1b84b6d8c112c0aaee3b39e3d3

Yes, these are wine glasses decorated with Mardi Gras beads. Not sure if I’d want to hold one. But they sure do sparkle.

79. You can’t go to a Mardi Gras party without donning a purple peacock mask.

f6ddc88f73c3f49c9356eb38b4ef0c0a

Since I love purple, I certainly adore this mask. I also love the feathers on it, too. Still, I went to a Mardi Gras party, I’d totally wear this if I could.

80. As a Mardi Gras centerpiece, this one has a little bit of everything.

fc84a997578eb1c0721db59926be9d63

Seems like this centerpiece has a something for everybody as far as I can see. Nevertheless, sure is festive if you ask me.

Fall in Love with These Valentine’s Day Craft Projects

aebfb9a2dac323049e00dba56b268bf5

Anyone who has been in elementary school in America probably has had to do some sort of craft project on Valentine’s Day at some point. One year you might be doing Valentine boxes or the like. Nevertheless, when it comes to Valentine’s Day, many elementary kids don’t have much choice than to participate in it. This consists of sending a set of valentines to their classmates as well as a treat. Yes, it’s kind of a pain, especially for boys who aren’t cultured to have any affinity for such a girly holiday. Nevertheless, there are plenty of craft projects associated with the holiday. And since I did craft projects for the other major holidays, then I couldn’t single this one out. Yet, most of the Valentine’s Day craft projects will consist of hearts and the color pink. However, most of the craft projects I show will be made by adults. So for your reading pleasure, enjoy looking at a treasure trove of Valentine’s Day craft projects.

  1. Grace your home with this heart wreath covered in candy hearts.
00a57e3287d2ea1a177f1d0804583bbe

Since candy hearts tend to taste like flavored sugary chalk dust, I think using them for craft projects is for the best. Besides, this is pretty.

2. No one would be more pleased this Valentine’s Day than one receiving a felt flowery heart.

0d5eec4d2448ae64af62b3734e13d07b

Seems like this was made by someone who had too much time on their hands. Nevertheless, I really like the flowers on this, especially the purple ones.

3. Show the love this Valentine’s Day with these heart door hangings.

1d74d6bca2861d0de3474b003916a4a4

Seems to consist of 5 red hearts hanging at different ends. And they’re decorated in a variety of different ways.

4. Bring the spirit of Valentine’s Day to your home with this tulle heart wreath.

02b93233ada8f4b4936e79d86a203d0a

Seems to be colored in red, pink, and white. And it even has 3 red hearts in the center, too. Nevertheless, it’s quite pretty.

5. For your Valentine’s Day mantle, you can always go with a rose covered tree.

2bd8998b26b05ab8afbc462e7e0002d9

Of course, the roses are made from paper that you have to cut out (which I would be very bad at). Still, this looks very pretty if you ask me.

6. To make it small, you can always send a clothes pin valentine.

2ea24feaac45bc132bcb18c69bb89f47

You have to open this one to get a message. Not surprisingly, it’s supposed to be rather brief.

7. If you don’t like your Valentine’s Day tree with roses, you can always go with some hearts.

3ef5f99c1b754022de8032744e38b3c9

As this picture says, these are made from ombre. Not sure what that is. Still, it seems like these hearts range from red, white, and 50 shades of pink.

8. When you fold hearts, you can turn them into flower petals.

6a42f98791f68b483e12ba9756413b2b

As you see, these purple, pink, and yellow flowers are made of hearts and form into one. And they all have pearl beads in the center.

9. For the one who lights up your life, this light bulb will do just fine.

6e72ce345ff541c317e641f1d460a228

However, if the light of your life happens to be an electrical engineer, they probably won’t be impressed by the fact it most likely doesn’t light up. Still, like the hearts.

10. For your little one this Valentine’s Day, you can’t go wrong with this heart onesie and cap.

7e956273e761050cb70e639bbd916ce0

I bet this is for a girl as I could tell by the ribbons on the shoulders. Also, because most parents wouldn’t dress their sons in such outfits either. Well, as far as I know.

11. Nothing brings the spirit of Valentine’s Day to your home than wooden hearts on sticks.

7c5c2e86317500e3375e0a530e658daa

Love how these are in different patterns and sizes. Yet, they all are tied with the same heart ribbon.

12. Grace your lovely home this Valentine’s Day with a bauble wreath.

08ff39cb472d0d6d96e328d055992af8

You’re probably going to see a lot of Valentine’s Day wreaths on this post. This one is probably the most delicate of them all. And one of the prettiest.

13. When it comes to Valentine’s Day, you can’t go wrong with a large heart decorated with candy hearts.

8a1e0e622515b8c71535b1a1d8c5bee8

I don’t know about you, but I strongly think they should market candy hearts as craft materials from now on. Because those candies aren’t at all fit for human consumption.

14. You can’t have Valentine’s Day without a set of “Love” blocks.

01cb4f22022906113f4825498a06943b

And I guess the “o” is a heart. Surely those blocks used some stencils to make them. But they nevertheless look lovely.

15. For a more rustic look on your front door, you can always go with a heart of roses.

9d072d15675b627be7905e87405d3378

I’m sure the flora on this is fake, given that it’s winter. Still, seems almost as if it came from a store. But it looks beautiful.

16. Decorate your mantle this Valentine’s Day with some XO blocks.

3c4d4d53c9331c13a0a59a5af69ff5a2

These consist of red “x’s” and white “o’s.” Nevertheless, not sure why “x’s” and “o’s” came to mean kisses and hugs. Maybe it has to do with Morse code.

17. This heart shirt would be perfect for any little girl on Valentine’s Day.

12a6da81218d8f84667b9d0540c3d01a

I’m sure this little girl will outgrow this in a few weeks as kids grow rather quickly. Nevertheless, it’s so cute.

18. This rosy heart tree would make a fine addition to any home.

26d6ebd8f116d1e42bd952c86e0f84f4

Yes, this is a fake tree with fake roses on it. But I do think this person did a way better job on this than I ever could in my life.

19. Keep yourself warm this winter with this Valentine’s Day heart quilt.

42cd8a5b273dbab7bb5e6fdb37ca2091

Not sure if it’s for actual use and I highly doubt. But you have to love the red hearts on this. You really do.

20. You can’t get more cuddly on Valentine’s Day than with these two adorable bears.

59cdadc48522d6abf98b8682544e4b89

Well, at least as far when it comes to bears you can make. The girl one has a bow in her head. Still, these two are so adorable if you ask me.

21. Be all hugs and kisses this Valentine’s Day by gracing your front door with this XO wreath.

11b99276e1453a58bf2089a125a84d32

As you see, it’s made from some fake white roses and ruffled red cloth. Still, I’m sure it’s bound to stand out in the neighborhood.

22. If you’re not using a planter urn, perhaps you can make some Valentine’s Day decoration from it.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I bet this decoration used a lot of sparkly party stuff. Nevertheless, I like the bow tied on the black urn the best in this.

23. Got a bunch of pink gift ribbons lying around? Make a heart wreath out of it.

66fa107c2f7f8c7997ea81e066d40650

Yes, this is a ribbon wreath. And yes, it’s mostly pink. But still, I find it rather ingenious if you think about it.

24. This candy heart bouquet is sure to make a fine Valentine’s Day centerpiece.

76c589336f112a76259ae9236cc189e3

Of course, the flowers aren’t roses and may seem a bit springy. Nevertheless, they certainly match the candy hearts in the vase.

25. This white Valentine’s Day tree is decked in red hearts.

85f0e0ff7de27b6e8e7f0d473f147f74

Yes, this is a Valentine’s Day tree. No, I don’t know why people do this. But yes, I did post it because it’s unique and has hearts on it.

26. For a great table centerpiece on Valentine’s Day, you can’t do better than a vase with sparkly branches and hanging hearts.

159e59f2b5b36b348c9f5d0c5ca61cd3

I guess making this made a big mess when it came to dousing the branches with glitter. Still, I think guests will be pleased by the results.

27. For Valentine’s Day decorations, you can’t go wrong with sequin hearts.

385ab520c1e09d95f255b8ce118b63c3

Normally, I tend to view sequins as a tacky material you’d see at some disco. But these aren’t that bad if you ask me.

28. These flower pot candy dispensers are a great way to store Valentine’s Day candy.

7b3a7d7c11cd5e9d9040a26cfedc40a0

Of course, to be safe, you might want to buy the flower pots at the craft store first. Still, seems lie a rather clever idea.

29. Grace your couch this Valentine’s Day with a one of a kind heart blanket.

1a27d0d3b00588472e978978c8b12ec1

Wonder if it’s made by someone with too much time on their hands. Also, not sure if it goes well with that couch either.

30. Cuddle up this Valentine’s Day with this quilted valentine heart pillow.

281effd23df86cf844f6a9bcbcf3f2c2

Hears come in so many different colors and patterns. But most of them are pink. Still, not sure if anyone would have time to do this though.

31. Count down to Valentine’s Day with this heart calendar.

950c06ca9978d814f8f2700a9fb740e0

Don’t tell me they made a Valentine’s Day rip off of the Advent Calendar. Sure it only contains 14 days, but that’s a 2 week span.

32. When it comes to Valentine’s Day, you can’t go wrong with Cupid arrows.

2370ee2bc386f83e13d7994d9207e9ca

All it seems to take are skewers, felt hearts, electrical tape, and feathers. Seems easy for kids. However, they’d probably not make any at school due to weapons policies.

33. This Valentine’s Day, store candy in some felt fortune cookies.

22117da302ca86b19d26ab0af2c8ed2b

Now this seems like a rather clever idea for kids to do Valentine’s Day treats for their classmates. However, not sure if some of them are old enough to do the sayings.

34. If you can’t make love arrows from skewers, use clothes pins.

35245effa8beda347d4b69bae9e487cf

Seems like these arrows look rather easy to make. But I don’t think any I’d make would turn out to be as nice as these.

35. Light up your home this Valentine’s Day with some rainbow heart lights.

 

56778ddb81006fcaea74419c977c97c4

And these seemed to be rather tangled up by the looks of it. Nevertheless, these hearts are made from paper so the lights can shine through them.

36. If you’re going for a more rustic Valentine’s Day look, you can’t do wrong with a wreath made of pine cones.

61396bdf388a1a5a6e429ef05bc2dfd1

This seems rather quaint. However, I bet any money that those pine cones came from a craft store.

37. Got too many candy hearts lying around? Make a tree of them.

 

69001f140dbe5234a79664c96447ba9a

Yes, this is another art form with the Valentine’s Day candies that aren’t fit for human consumption. Nevertheless, that pink goes well with the heart pastel colors.

38. If you love candy hearts, then you’ll like these candy heart wall hangings.

70752c9ef359447a5ed1afa7163c9214

Yes, these are wooden candy hearts that are painted and covered in glitter. Sayings include, “love you,” “be mine,” “kiss me,” and “XOXO.”

39. Anyone is sure to love a Valentine’s Day bouquet of hearts.

97139b8d278a80e1f6827a94deaa1332

The hearts may be made from felt and the stems made from wire. But this bouquet is surely lovely to behold.

40. You can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day in the woods without some acorn hearts.

412409d56b57466b60734880beba2c5f

They’re acorns with hearts on them. And painting the hearts seems to require a rather small paint brush and precision.

41. For a Valentine’s Day centerpiece, you can’t go wrong with a candy bouquet.

727566ffbe316259b2a42286860876a1

Don’t tell me that they have Valentine’s Day candy corn. Seriously, that stuff was bad enough around Halloween. Do we really need to deal with candy wax around Valentine’s Day?

42. This heart wall hanging is sure to be lovely on any front door.

7680501b5832d9223c4d16477f55b294

These are red hearts brought together with some fancy ribbon. The top is a bow with some other ribbons and trimmings.

43. Candy hearts are bound to go well with any form of outdoor decoration.

35169357c913097883a7fd19998a65c5

These hearts are made from foam and are spray painted on. Some with stencils. Still, probably taste better than chalk dusty candy hearts, don’t you think.

44. If you like polka dots, then this Valentine’s Day wreath is for you.

a4e28c349b0d803708585715cad7f32a

Well, the polka dot cloth goes nice with the red and white motif. Also contains red and white ribbons and flowers.

45. These Valentine’s Day bottles will show how love is in the air within your home.

a7af12d50c92dc89df92468f7166c478

And these are decorated in different ways and in different. Not sure what to think about the silver one though.

46. Nothing makes a better Valentine’s Day gift than a heart button mosaic in a heart shaped pan.

a65be17310379885eeade0177463729f

Of course, if my mom had a heart shaped pan, she would certainly not let me do a button mosaic on it. Still, wonder how much glue they used.

47. Receive valentines with your very own Valentine’s Day mailbox.

a220d4ab4b24d392b9ca30b007df23fb

That’s a really nice pink mailbox. Unfortunately, where I live, you can’t have one of at your house due to increment weather and an incident with mass vandalism.

48. For candlelight dinners, these Valentine’s Day candle holders can’t be beat.

a06845660c3c88247849e5b0ba0722c4

Yes, these are festive candle holders. Unfortunately, my mom can forget having a romantic candle light dinner unless the power goes out. My dad tends to get migraines.

49. Nothing makes a better Valentine’s Day centerpiece than a bouquet of duct tape roses.

a126b7e87e7932fb3fb33aeac449b9fa

These look pretty. Then again, not sure if I can make as lovely roses as these with duct tape. Probably bound to mess up and waste the stuff.

50. Cozy up to a warm fire this Valentine’s Day with this rustic heart pillow.

ac6b5fc7f53a4a2dc7ddfa42f6273675

The pillow is made of canvas while the heart is outlined with ribbon. Nevertheless, I’m sure anyone would enjoy this.

51. These Valentine’s Day pom pom monsters are bound to melt your heart.

b3c2daf5c62f606a6b4b06a4177a1e6e

These are so adorable and seem rather easy to make. Then again, not sure what these monsters have to do with Valentine’s Day. I really don’t.

52. For baby boys, this love bandit onesie will do just fine.

b4dfb0295a0b2a063c8935501c9de96b

I suppose girl bandits could wear this, too. However, there are plenty of girl Valentine outfits available. And this one seems less girly than the others.

53. Store your Valentine’s Day treats in these appropriate cookie jars.

b6c44dac838c1178f4ce4e51747506fb

Has a chalkboard bubble you can write stuff on with chalk. If you don’t have any, then candy hearts will certainly do.

54. This wreath has a lot of hearts in its branches.

bfe3558b6e653de2bf94b4ad48e99137

Seems that the hearts on this are made of paper. But it seems to have plenty of love to go around.

c5bc57d83337e51eccfaa50323e73023

56. This wooden heart would make a lovely Valentine’s Day addition to anyone’s home.

c031e8ced25eb06bf4f6bbfeb5ed2877

I bet this was made from some crate. Has stripes in several different colors like red, white, and pink, as well as black.

57. Cover your Valentine’s Day tree with candy hearts for a lovely impression.

ceae2401370a656ac7f0358e57a23a0b

Because candy hearts are better used for craft projects than human consumption. Because nobody wants to eat chalk.

58. For a more down home feel, this “XOXO” wreath will do quite nicely.

d6e8cd0bba897e20897b7bd41f11034e

Has 2 white cloth wreaths for “o’s” and 2 sets of cross twigs for “x’s”. And it’s strung together with a red ribbon.

59. For ceiling hangings, you can’t go wrong with a mobile with hearts.

33ace1378474ede76d7e2fc1409d0893

Yes, I know the colors are drab on this one. But I think it’s an ingenious design, especially with the lace on top and the paper hearts.

60. Nothing makes a better candy holder than a jar filled with candy hearts.

d12e2653839944031fe16637877539f8

cb3db34ed708c8f91ee634f84095456c

62. This XOXO wreath is a true Valentine’s Day delight.

086cdd17686a575f255ee5ac10715bdc

This is in black and red tulle strips. And it has wooden letters spelling “LOVE.” Quite pretty though.

64. You can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day without an assortment of love tags.

d8848a4ca93339378fc0395ea2c642a7

To be fair these are made of wood and aren’t painted well. Nevertheless, these are quite nice if you ask me.

65. Keep yourself clean this Valentine’s Day with these heart soaps.

d17148698e46a8c13e2e4f65cf200f88

Seem to resemble candy hearts with sayings on them. Wonder how any of them smell like.

8353819e583d70ca29dcbd4904b4f620

Seems like this was made from all kinds of pink and white Valentine’s Day ribbons. Nevertheless, I love the ribbon and button star on the top.

67.  If you have a heart, then you’re bound to love this little Tin Man.

e2ea148395fa1662921824e141fba736

And it’s even made out of tin cans and a funnel. It even has a heart ticker. Still, I’m not a big fan of the Wizard of Oz. Think it’s pretty creepy with the flying monkeys.

68. Nothing makes a better Valentine’s Day than a bunch of hearts stacked on a pot.

e2ec172ba251b66a7ef500c4198f9d18

71. For Valentine’s Day, these love rocks are great for your lovely home.

d7262b5a422f043bdf5ae61390f9a0dc

ef53c8cb7c5b3c77093d0ec624303a98

Of course, if I received something like these jars, I’d throw out the candy hearts and keep the jar. Seriously, candy hearts are disgusting.

78. Grace your door this Valentine’s Day with this red and pink wreath.

Seems to be decorated with hearts, branches, and baubles. And it even has a pink ribbon around it.

79. This rose tree centerpiece is bound to liven any Valentine’s Day table.

f7ccdafc19c513f31bb92e24b874d806

f8e81bb366adaa3d63fa21e3bd81f321

I’m sure the roses on this are fake and are in shades of white, red, pink, and purple. Nevertheless, they’re very pretty if you ask me.

81. Place your Valentine’s Day candy is this lovely heart yarn basket.

f26e64388238c7d2f3295476fc4ec59d

The Timekeeping World of Clocks

0da285d6430e196a058340415a13998f

As we welcome 2016, I couldn’t think of a better post to start the new year off with than one about a device we use to tell time with. Now clocks have been one of the oldest human inventions to meet the need to consistently measure intervals of time shorter than that natural units such as the day, the lunar month, and the year. Such devices operating on several physical process have existed for millennia starting with sundials, hourglasses, water clocks to our modern digital and atomic clocks. A major advance in timekeeping was the invention of the escapement in Europe in the year 1300 which allowed the invention of first mechanical clocks which used oscillating timekeepers like balance wheels. Spring-driven clocks appeared during the 15th century and between that and the 16th century, clockmaking flourished. The Exploration Age saw the invention of the pendulum clock in 1656 as well as efforts to improve timing accuracy and reliability for the importance of navigation. The first electric clock was invented in 1840 while the 20th century saw clocks with no clock parts at all. Of course, there are plenty of clocks out there since there are people who make their own as a project. And there are some unique clocks that have been produced for the masses. So to open the new year for your reading pleasure, here is a collection of some truly unique clock designs you can’t miss a minute on.

  1. We begin with a rusty Steampunk clock that resembles a fish.
1ac943faf9a720f621e9f2d41b0f4eb1

Yes, it almost looks like Captain Nemo could’ve used one like this in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Still, I’m not sure if it reflects Nemo’s decorative tastes.

2. Now this is a clock that’s beneath a Grecian Urn.

1b21368285273414ffe7e8db11fcd6da

Of course, this one was from the mid 1800s, during the time of Emperor Napoleon III of France (don’t ask, it takes a long explanation). Still, probably didn’t come cheap.

3. Now this wall clock comes with some floral decoration.

1c9c24297865b724201dbda761135ff2

Now this was probably a DIY project and possibly by a girl. Yes, it’s a frilly clock but it’s quite pretty to say the least.

4. Some table clocks can look like anything. This one resembles a lawn chair.

2a99bd89dd50335c0e6abca7dcb320eb

I’m sure this is fairly small and can be put in a dollhouse. And I’m sure it’s more expensive than a plastic lawn chair. Still, very clever.

5. In this clock, the analog face is a girl’s hairpiece.

3b87c381faefe8514ae6a7adcb727c84

Now I think this clock wasn’t built to specifically tell time. And it some ways, it kind of looks either Steampunk or gothy. Yet, since it’s unique, it goes on the post.

6. When it comes to old muscle car headlights in a junkyard, you can give one a new life by making it into a clock.

clock

Yes, it looks a bit rusty. Yes, it can use some red paint. But still, I don’t think I can make a clock like that in a million years. Then again, I probably can’t make a clock, period.

7. Those who enjoy 1980s video games can now wake up with Pac-Man.

3d_pacman_alarm_clock_1

This is a 3D Pac-Man alarm clock. I’m sure this wasn’t made in the 1980s. But if you, hit the snooze button, I wonder if Pac-Man will try to eat your head.

8. Now this clock seems to go for a more natural look.

3fba4531a25594707448fb2b1d1ae87f

This one is made from a wooden panel and decorated with branches. Not sure if it fits in a hunting lodge. But hey, I like it.

9. Now I wonder whether this clock can tell you when it’s Miller time.

4e1dd0e5dd6ccc1d6685aa6e8a26a8d8

Then again, not sure if I know some of these beer brands. But I think this would be a perfect clock for a bar. Yet, very inappropriate for a venue that sponsors AA meetings.

10. For old clocks, make sure it has the proper gears to work.

5ab7d8ef803d15041665d209f54ef9a9

Now I guess this is either an antique or some DIY Steampunk creation. For some reason, it kind of reminds me of the movie Hugo.

11. This antique grandfather clock is not impressed.

5d455887cec7cb999ed6436261bffbfb

Now this is the kind of clock you’d expect to see from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Still, I doubt that this clock has a tale as old as time.

12. Now this is a martini shaker clock is perfect for any cocktail party.

6b3ed544f0784ef3da78dcadabb6c860

However, I wouldn’t recommend you using to shake James Bond’s martini. It probably has a bunch of parts within. Thus, it’s most likely for timekeeping and display only.

13. This pencil clock will help any teacher start on time in the classroom.

6badaf81aef32287ca7b1d22459908ea

Of course, these pencils look like Papermates, which have shitty erasers. Still, it’s pretty ingenious even if it doesn’t list numbers.

14. Do you sometimes wish that you had a block to tell the time for you?

6bb7d9206eed5e80196f39062121de26

Looking at this, you’d swear the clock numbers are painted on this black block of wood. Wonder how this works.

15. A clock tower clock? How original.

6d628ecce74d3cf15e385fa150ba0153

Though some towns have clock towers, they don’t usually look like this. But this one is suited for indoors and didn’t come cheap.

16. Now this antique clock seems to belong in some rich guy’s hunting lodge.

6f97de44ebdf4053f41e300010cc3702

I think this might be an antique German hunting lodge clock as far as I can tell, I’ve seen a smaller one in vintage postcard. But it looked nothing like this one.

17. This jeweled gold clock is small enough that you can take it wherever you go.

6fbf0bc5701ac80f3dcdad5b1606235e

Of course, assuming any of these jewels are real, it’s possible that this clock might cost more than a car. Nevertheless, it’s quite beautiful to say the least.

18. Need a way to tell when Polly needs a cracker? Perhaps this clock will tell you.

7cd5c7ec1333b33d50f171205b360003

Yes, this is a birdcage clock. Yes, the face is on the bottom, which means you’ll have to tilt your head back to know what time it is from this clock.

19. For those who want to know when to bake some bread, there’s an electric mixer clock for that.

7fcce9906e5f905e0848547bc94c07cc

Now this mixer looks as if it’s straight from the 1950s. But I don’t think it’s for actual use. Still, love the pink.

20. Of course, mornings are usually the time of say when they go to the Waffle House.

8f749728d555380beeb731a6fde663f4

The Waffle House is a breakfast food joint with similar heart attack inducing fare as Ihop. Yet, with a more shady reputation.

21. This sewing machine will help you determine the proper time to hem.

9a43a2639cdc05612bddc040d0be7182

Now this one seems to be a high class replica of those old sewing machines you had to power with a crank. Still, it’s quite nice.

22. This clock has a hand that tells the minute and a slit that reveals the hour.

9f16d7820842feda86b5868febdad2aa

Now that’s one neat way to tell time. From the face, I can guess it’s about ten after 11.

23. Now this is a watch that will exactly tell you the time of day.

36aa4696e23cb11031bcface0e10f7cf

Of course, the letters are all jumbled in this watch. But you get what I mean.

24. In case, you don’t know the time, day, or month, this clock will help you.

50f66190e02243c6940be4e9cf61aa9f

Kind of seems like something you’d see in a Jules Verne novel. Of course, we don’t need a clock to tell us the day or the month. We have calendars that do it for us.

25. Of course, some might be partial to peacocks in terms of their clock design.

53b4690543d20a8410e97d923933bb10

Now this one seems to have a peacock and his feathers all over this clock. Not sure if I want it, but it’s a rather ingenious design in its own way.

26. Now this timekeeper seems to be made from a slab of wood.

56fea0c9bf23535293ee14543bd7492c

Yes, it looks like it was made from a slab of varnished wood. But keep in mind that analog clocks look easier to make than they really are.

27. Of course, public clocks can always be seen from the side of buildings.

65a98f0d8758658ddbcb6a31f61741d3

Now this one is said to be from Belgium. Not sure what building it is. But whenever a clock strikes a certain hour, one of these figures jumps out of their holes.

28. Now this clock is sure to tell you when you need to whip out your old kitchen utensils.

85a20c554af083ee77f9f0f9247d342e

I don’t think those utensils will help you in the kitchen. Seems to go well with the previous electric mixer clock I put up. Then again, it’s in the same color.

29. Nothing makes a more beautiful clock face than cardinal in winter.

84f5a334d1fc506ec5ad12618f38a6b9

Now that’s a pretty cardinal and a well painted one, too. Still, this still doesn’t mean that it should be the bird symbol for 7 US states. I mean find a bird more original.

30. For all you music lovers out there, this clock is for you.

92e7f602a3ec58ccbe65f5e7f687930c

Now this one shows the kind of scales and how many sharps and flats you should use. Perfect for any music classroom.

31. Of course, we all remember this old Kit-Cat clock.

126c2cb3dc2f595b41992fd432894d1a

Correct me if I’m wrong. But I kind of find this cat’s moving eyes a bit unsettling whenever I see this in movies or cartoons. Why it’s so familiar, I have no clue.

32. On this wall clock, any time is pizza time.

200d525d84a174d6bb456f7c29788166

Of course, you can say that for some people. Not sure what to think of this. But it’s unique so it goes on this post.

33. When it comes to waking up in the morning, this alarm clock makes you shoot the snooze button.

205cdde876e3d804a6e63d1b3f94da19

Of course, using this alarm clock has been responsible for sleeplessness in Imperial Stormtroopers. Those familiar with Star Wars know that Stormtrooper marksmanship is appalling.

34. Now this is a commemorative clock that’s courtesy of the British Department of Silly Walks.

 

402f20f31e1ebbd8cbb0e9cd191419ef

You have to bet since that famous Monty Python sketch came out, that such a clock would soon exist. Of course, you’d never be able to tell when John Cleese is at his silliest here.

35. For all you space lovers out there, this clock shows the phases of the moon.

575d7dbc5e66edf409a645fb4e046573

Not sure if this clock depicts moon phases by the hour, day, or month. But I’m sure some space nerds would want to get their hands on one if they could.

36. Now this is a digital clock that tells time from a roll of film.

0720ee3074de8c2d88a9225d67f150ba

Of course, some of my younger viewers under a certain age (like children) may have no idea that we once used film to take pictures with. And that we had to send that roll away to develop them. And no, you couldn’t preview the picture on your screen because that didn’t exist. You had one shot to get it right and that was it.

37. These old license plates give this clock an interesting  face.

1706bc04067d8c409dc8319ad67f1d6b

Now theses are US license plates. But each one is of a different state and gives a number of the hour. It’s not colorful but it’s cool in its own way.

38. Seems like this clock gives you the time as if it’s keeping score.

2537e8d189d9bb4be4ac347579f2cef3

The numbers on here are depicted like tally marks. Numbers 1-5 don’t take up much space. But 11-12 certainly do.

39. If you didn’t know how to read a clock, you wouldn’t be able to tell the time by some of these hand signs.

5463e6b4680cb592eb8e9a19344690be

Now the numbers on this clock are depicted as seen in American Sign Language (ASL). From what I can tell on this. it’s about 25 till 8.

40. Now if you have an old lantern that’s obsolete, make a clock out of it.

9796f72cb67b026fb863cc1726f11ebe

Wonder if this clock was made from an old railroad lantern. Because it sure looks like it.

41. For the morbid sort, you might want to get the time from this skull.

201292b8de3f93c59d0f6b659b15726a

Of course, this might make some of my viewers squeamish. But I assure you, it’s most likely made out of wood. At least I hope it is.

42. Of course, you can make your own clock from a tree slice, if you find one big enough.

410134c5ce232268926eda4852c26613

Now from the rings, it seems that this tree was very old when it fell. And it seemed to have suffered from heart rot. So I guess it was going to die anyway.

43. For Captain James T. Kirk, it’s always time to go where no man has gone before.

a4b49d4513eba22df83d0abc112e0dc9

Now this is a clock depicting the spacecraft you see on Star Trek. I’m sure the 12 o’clock ship is the Enterprise. All the others I’m not so sure.

44. I don’t know about you, but I could’ve sworn that this clock was owned by Salvador Dali at some point.

a959a5d5817842d37bb1a2c323d95b47

I don’t know why I suspect it. Perhaps it’s because this clock’s face looks pretty surreal. And we know that Dali was a leading artist in that movement, particularly when it came to melting clocks like this one.

45. Did you ever get the feeling you were being watched?

a74b404953dd5b440af27eb8cc410dba

Now this is a Steampunk DIY clock that’s made to look like an owl. Uses gears, pieces of metal, and CDs. Still, I think it’s pretty cool.

46. I don’t know about you but this clock makes me feel that time is going down the drain.

b625f1264c79b6c3213e59768970de1b

Yeah, this clock makes it seem that all the hours are in some state of flux like a death spiral. Still, looking at it too long kind of makes you feel dizzy.

47. This pool cue ball clock is sure to delight any game room.

1dadba59f8823dfea643f245a74acc88

To some, this might be a wonderful work of art. To me, it appears more appropriate decoration for a bar, particularly one with a pool table.

48. A bedazzled alarm clock like this is sure to wake you up in the morning.

5ca49a83038c823625ef2a0f16b95366

I’m sure those gems are fake or this clock would be very expensive. Still, it’s incredibly tacky for my taste. Yet, I do love the diamond ring around the face.

49. This wall clock seems to have time on the ball.

b6dd14c8c9e7059506a734be30861f71

Not sure how this clock works. Does the clear one denote the hour while the red denotes the minute? Or is it the other way around?

50. Now this is the kind of clock that makes a good stove timer.

 

c2ca223e34716e2e243fa70b82bf572f

Well, it looks like an old fashioned stove. Not sure if I want it in the kitchen. But it sure looks so quaint and whimsical.

51. This guy seems happy that he’s arrived just in time.

bbd79c01665736c97ed6b9f698a6ef5a

Now that’s adorable even if it’s more suited for a kid’s room. Also, doubles as a bookcase as you see.

52. When I see this clock, it seems to remind that my time on earth is limited.

c8d6dd9f648de68df9d46cbdb75c44ec

I don’t know about you. But I don’t think I’d want to use this clock to count down to my inevitable mortality. Besides, I’ll be 26 in a couple of weeks.

53. With Atomic Age clocks, they can be in almost any shape or form.

c44cc1d45161e3ceb40f3667c5400469

Now these clocks come in all kinds of weird variations. But for some reason I like this one the best. Still, interesting taste.

54. I don’t know about you but is this clock watching me or the time?

c524fee4d8faaf48b6c4e3f71cd4fa17

Now this is creepy as hell. Not sure why someone would make this. Still, certainly wouldn’t want that in my living room.

55. I’m sure this clock helps tell you when it’s a good time to rock n’roll.

c0611f6dde86bcc25b664430499af9e1

Well, this was probably not made from a real electric guitar. Still, I think it would be perfect for any rock n’ roll room.

56. If you want to find the time of day, I suggest you look in this book.

cc52dcc50d1bce5e1e1f3609dcd60f4f

I’m sure there’s a bunch of gears and machinery inside. But it does look like a real book that tells time.

57. I’m sure you’ve seen a clock design like this on your dashboard. Oh, that was a speedometer but you get the idea.

clock_dx5kx

Now this would be perfect for someone who likes cars. Wonder which gauge indicates what. Then again, they each stand for 3, 6, and 9.

58. This clock will certainly be perfect for any bookshelf.

clocksevermade6

Now this clock does consist of a stack of books together. Wonder if anyone would notice it if you put it within a bookshelf among other books. Probably.

59. For artists in you, this pallet clock will help you decide when it’s time to paint.

clocksevermade20

I think that pallet might be made from an old vinyl record. But it does look quite classy if you ask me. Love it.

60. Not sure if you can listen to tunes on this record player. But it’ll give you the time of day.

clocksevermade11

Now this is a record player clock. For a long time people used to listen to music with these things. Vinyl records came with your basic LP and a Singles. This is single. It only has 2 songs on each side.

61. Seems like there’s a tie for every occasion and every hour.

clocksevermade23

Well, that’s one thing to do with all the neckties your dad doesn’t like. Of course, from here, it’s about 5 till 2.

62. Of course, this is the clock you have if you want to spend every second with the ones you love.

clocksevermade44

Of course, I wonder if these are real photographs or stock photos. Probably the latter. But some of these kids are so adorable. And I can tell some people might wants this.

63. A wall clock like this will certainly look good hanging in any kitchen or dining room.

clocksevermade45

I guess this clock was made with some cutlery. I’m fairly sure they’re black plastic. But still, I think it looks quite classy.

64. Now this clock tends to tell time by shifting gears.

clocksevermade31

Well, it tells the hour and the closest 5 minute approximation. But still, may not be something you’d want in your living room. But it does its job.

65. Now who says you can’t tell the time of day from an old tire?

clocksevermade54

Yes, this is a tire clock as you see here. Not sure if the tire is flat but I don’t think it matters. Because here it’s just used for decoration.

66. Now I’ve never thought I’d see an analog clock with no numbers or hands.

clocksevermade56

Now the hands on this clock are lasers. Yes, they’re lasers. Not sure if it’s the future. But it looks pretty neat. Never seen that before.

67. As this clock moves, the more the hands expand, contract, or possibly change color.

creative-clocks-14-2

Now this is a folding clock as you see here. Its two hands are connected by a cloth that’s different on each side. Not sure if I’d want it. But it’s unique so it goes on this post.

68. Whether it’s sunny or cloudy, this clock tells time in all kinds of weather.

creative-clocks-15-2

While this is a normal clock, it’s also said to have some qualities of a sundial. See how the light casts a shadow on the numbers and hands.

69. Now this one is a digital clock and tells the time with dominoes.

creative-clocks-11-3

Now according to this clock, it’s 10:29. Nevertheless, it does give you an adequate description in layman’s terms.

70. This clock seems to look as if its face is out of this world.

e38138e455f954f15c312ae8f670eb00

Basically this is a clock of our solar system. It’s not drawn to scale. But I’m sure this is the kind of clock Neil Degrasse Tyson would want on his wall.

71. This is outdoor can tell the time as well feed the birds.

d3b91254e13a62d27632ece46d9e2d05

Yes, this is a birdhouse clock. And yes, it has a pendulum. Not sure if it’s actually used for birds, but I like the simplicity of it all.

72. Of course, if you know the notes, you can guess the numbers on this clock.

ee7b05983af34814d778c486e063d9ec

Now the numbers on these are determined by how many beats each note gets in basic 4/4 time. So a quarter note = 1. A half note = 2. And a whole note = 4.

73. Of course, a clock with all the bright colors is bound to brighten your day.

e0bbb3bb22be7e08e2e0a23254ff16af

Not sure if all these colors on the clock represent the different colors of the rainbow. But they’re definitely colors you’d certainly see in Lisa Frank.

74. You can make a clock face out of anything, even things you might find at the beach.

ed3e6fc3d687019be5b8532980271154

As you see, the face is made from driftwood or flotsam and jetsam. The numbers are represented by shells. Nevertheless, wouldn’t mind having this.

75. Now this clock is situated on this lovely painted kettle.

f5d74990a030478ef3540419eb618593

Seems to depict a Roman scene as as I see it. Still, from the gold and laquer on this, I think this isn’t used for the kitchen and is more expensive than an actual kettle.

76. Now this is a clock only mathletes would have in their abodes.

IOXGX

I’m sure you can solve many of these problems since the answers are 1-12 as you go along clockwise. But math nerds will adore this.

77. I’m sure this clock hate’s being referred to of the grandfather variety.

0f3e7fda449230c6f666b5b1f7dc740f

Yes, this is a female clock and it’s an antique as well. Don’t ask me where this came from. I just found this on Pinterest.

78. Clock or paint splat? You decide.

fee6f226163205ec2a33ce7d241ac4f8

Now that really looks like a splat of paint on the wall. However, it’s probably made from black plastic. Still pretty neat though.

79. I don’t know about you but this looks like it’ll go off any second.

fun_and_completely_different_clock_designs_640_03

Relax, it’s a clock. Trust me it’s a clock that just looks like a bomb. And no, I don’t think it was designed by some Muslim teenager in Texas. Seriously, I don’t.

80. Of course, sometimes people just want to have their eggs over easy first thing in the morning.

unusual-clocks

Now this is a skillet clock with an egg on it. And the hands are a knife and fork. This would be perfect for Rob Swanson from Parks and Rec.

The Brightly Lit World of Lamps

home_lamps_d

Since humans have discovered fire as a lighting source, we have always tried to use some fixture to contain it or replace it. Of course, for a long time, our ancestors had to make due with torches, and candles. But they did have lanterns and lamps as well. It’s just that genies didn’t come out of them. However, as our interior design tastes so have lamps in terms of not just being a lighting fixture but also a decorative object. Today if you look in a store you’d find that there are so many kinds of lamps such table lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps, ceiling lamps, chandeliers, ceiling fan lamps, desk lamps, and so many more. Some are manufactured from factories. Some are DIY projects. Some are bought to match the room. Some are bought as souvenirs and in their own decorative fashion. But as we all know, all lamps are used to light up a closed space. Now this post will feature all kinds of lamps that many might find either ingenious or incredibly tacky. Yet, each is unusual in its own special way. So for your viewing pleasure, here is a treasury from the brightly lit world of lamps.

  1. Now this is called a “fairy flower lamp.”
0b347a40d3cc297803a6feee6b29ab05

Now this looks like a lamp you might find in a little girl’s room. Well, any little girl who has a fascination with pixies and fairies. Still, it’s pretty.

2. This lamp operates on a gear switch.

0c6e7aedbabb63feb457bd85a4a3ad87

Now this is one of the Steampunk lamps you might want to see in this post. Not sure if it turns on with a gear switch or not. But I might want to try.

3. Finally, the perfect lamp for coffee time.

1

Guess this is a lighted little tea pot tall and thin. And it seems like the lights on this go top to bottom. Still, I think it’s quite neat.

4. Now this seems like a futuristic lamp you’d find in Victorian London.

1a4fa2f67d28f26ce39cdcd33fe6c8b4

Kind of reminds me of some electric dynamo you’d find some mad scientist’s lab in a Jules Verne story. Still. wouldn’t mind having one of these in my room.

5. Of course, I’m sure this lamp design was inspired by the movie Alien.

1cd0e7b7b4745f274b0ed98714f4976f

Still, I wonder how long for this person to make and assemble this thing. Seems like some parts of this look quite delicate even if it’s made from metal.

6. I don’t know about you, but do you ever get the feeling you’re being watched?

02 (1)

Now this is the kind of lamp you can use to make your friends uncomfortable. Of course, you need to hide it in a corner like you do with a security camera.

7. For those wanting to do something with your old rotary telephone, perhaps make a lamp out of it.

2

Seems like this person stuck a couple light bulbs into this phone with some rewiring. Nevertheless, wonder how you hold this thing.

8. I’m sure this lamp is already blowing its own horn.

2b13b83a4d1eb70f7976c7aea2eb894f

Yes, it’s a lamp made from an old rusty French Horn. No, I don’t mean an old French guy’s love machine. I mean an actual French Horn like this one.

9. Sometimes you have to give old license plates a brighter chance.

2b959694152c25d64a314873f03e2c56

And I guess that this lamp is from New Mexico. Not sure if I like the yellow on this fixture. Then again, it’s their state flag with numbers.

10. Of course, a Cockatoo lamp sure makes your room a tropical delight.

2bc09ae44557c5707252063fec008bc5

Now to me this is an epitome to tackiness that knows no bounds. Still, you have to admire the effort. And hey, to each his own.

11. Of course, you can’t have too many lanterns dropping from the ceiling.

2e4170f25515e8372b8f848a1d4dddcf

Now this is listed as a chandelier on Pinterest. But I’m not sure if I’d necessarily call it that. But still, it looks very pretty.

12. These ceiling lamps are hung with a system of pulleys.

2e2878997a269098a9ae75748bc8bcfd

Well, they’re only held up by one pulley and wire. Still, I think it’s pretty cool and ingenious. Quite rustic, too.

13. Now this lunchbox and thermos seem to be headed out of this world.

3

Of course, these light bulbs seem to make it so. However, it’s kind of disappointing that astronauts don’t have a lunchbox and thermos with rocket blasters.

14. Seems like this lamp is atop a stack of tea cups.

3a1b3cc9a0ff046fcab5ee88da3323e3

Wait a minute, this lamp is a stack of teacups with a teapot on the base. Nevertheless, seems like something you’d find at Wes Anderson’s house or Lewis Carroll’s.

15. Now this lamp seems like a colorful flame dangling from the ceiling.

4f132d94318b649ac2b4b04abbfae31f

Man, I wonder how they made this one. Still, I have to admit even if it’s something that I wouldn’t want in my house, it’s still very cool.

16. I call this one a “lawn sprinkler” lamp. Wonder if it’s great for outdoor summer activities.

5

Now making a lamp out of a lawn sprinkler, how creative. Still, wonder how it would work if you uses for evening barbecues. Sure would like to see this.

17. Have a broken fan? Why don’t you make it into a lamp?

5cb7287d31c2b432a7a1c527acca2167

Of course, it might cool you off. But I’m sure it will help light a room. Besides, after making it into a lamp, you’ll only have to do some rewiring and throw out the blades.

18. Now this is a kind of lamp meant for the Space Age.

5fa34919046e81deffb646f1846f70c0

However, whether “Space Age” means science fiction or the 1950s or 1960s, I haven’t decided. It’s such a lamp that’s out of this world that you can’t even tell.

19. Now this ceiling lamp seems like it’s hanging with bunch of hangers.

6a00d834522c5069e20120a57b7938970b-500wi

Well, it’s actually made from a bunch of wooden hangers. Guess someone has more than they need in their closet.

20. For a more old fashioned country feel, I’m sure a lamp like this will suit your fancy.

6c83b8d77c5c2fdf04e989cdc767bcd4

Now this is made from an old milk tin and some braided rope. It looks quite rustic to say the least. Like it belongs in a barn.

21. Seems like this light bulb is hanging from a rope.

6d8ecb0084aae9df27942a29c4b6efd6

Of course, the wire is within the rope as you can see. But sometimes revealing it can ruin the effect. Nevertheless, it’s quite quaint.

22. For those with more tropical tastes, here are some tiki mask lamps to interest you.

6fc0d4a42e483937b01186947554aa16

I’m sure these masks are painted on. But for some reason, they look kind of cool. And in 3 different colors, too.

23. Looks like Thor got his hammer stuck in a wall again.

6fc2d68937a1638eb825323cc59b3f7c

Actually this is a wall lamp of Thor’s hammer. And yes, it’s supposed to look like Thor used it on a wall. Still, what Avengers fan wouldn’t want this?

24. Sometimes you might get the feeling that there being watched by giant eyeballs.

7-29-08-eyeball-lamps

Yes, I know an eyeball lamp is creepy. But such lamps do exist as you can see. Also available in green as far as I can tell.

25. Now I’ve heard of ceiling fan lamps and have a few in my home. Not sure what to make of this.

7d17b7bb7b0a5053be0f87fa8abdea61

This is a lamp with couple of electric fans. Now regular ceiling fans have blades that turn around the center. Not sure how this works.

26. Of course, you can make a lamp out of almost anything you find at the hardware store.

 

8ba8f9fea59891dedb32eb3616ddd9fa

As for these parts, I’m not sure if I’ve seen them in a hardware store in my life. The silver spiral thing looks more like a snail to me but I wonder if it’s some sort of pipe.

27. Now this lamp is made from an old washboard.

8dc16f086d13d16aec1d84f0c3000332

It’s something people used to wash clothes with before they had washing machines. It’s also used as an instrument for some bluegrass bands.

28. And you think this was used to warm the kettle.

8fc819e971747efb24739085cd5d4ce3

Now this looks like some Steampunk gizmo that I’m not sure even existed. Not sure if I’d even want it in the kitchen. Probably not.

29. For you geology buffs, I’m sure you might like this rock lamp hanging from your ceiling.

9a6afab5272adc574dd1928b14874f64

Of course, this is made of something that would’ve been used as a glass paperweight if it weren’t for the wire and the light bulb. Nevertheless, it looks pretty cool.

30. Now this lamp surely is all in pink and rich trimmings.

9e9e92c13a3ec8bd635a4828a4310a21

Now this looks like the kind of tacky lamp that you’d see at Downton Abbey. Then again, I’m not sure if any of the lamps there would have a base this one does.

31. Pipes may not be attractive, but you can fit wires through them.

9f0fd5ddd5ab78732dadd68e33e45400

Like how it’s on a base of some wood from a tree. Yes, I know it’s not the most attractive lamp, But you have to admire the craftsmanship.

32. Wonder if this lamp was used in a laboratory.

10e02025d6f36d48555c2a238b5881db

Now this looks like a lamp you’d find in Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. Might’ve used something like this to create his “monster” (which wasn’t really a monster). Nevertheless, it’s cool.

33. Seems like this lamp was made from a cheese grater and a colander.

10fd6957794326153ed315dc33b2c8a6

Now this look likes it was made from stuff you’d find at a junkyard. But I bet it brings in a lot of light to a room.

34. Of course, a great lamp base can be an old gas can.

12c3e13cc23798598d9a761a0d63a0a2

Not sure if that base goes with that lampshade. But from how I see it, it probably won’t go well in my living room. The basement may be a different story.

35. Now this is the kind of ceiling lamp that shows you the science of color.

13ec7a10ed1426e5403c254a8e2b2d50

Now this is a diagram about light and its combinations. Red and green make yellow. Blue and green make cyan. And red and blue make magenta. Put all 3 colors together and you get white.

36. Now this lamp seems to be as pretty as a peacock.

014d8024ca4aefa1d13ef4d32f12bfa9

Well, it’s a peacock lamp. And no, it’s not a recent design either. It’s probably from the early 20th century at the latest. But yes, it looks like a tacky lamp you’d find at the Dowager Countess’s living room.

37. Let’s hope that this lamp has all the right circuits.

18rcgykg8wxowjpg

Yes, the light bulbs are supposed to look like resistors in this. Still, probably more suited for a geekier household.

38. Seems like this lamp has a real spine.

29spinelamp

Of course, this lamp’s spine is actual vertebrae that ends with the pelvis. Still, it’s a lamp probably best suited for doctors, particularly chiropractors or orthopedists.

39. Of course, you wouldn’t guess that this lamp was made from an old muscle car headlight.

30fcbe526b07ddcc22c0d2d9466e9e87

Now this looks like a nice lamp. Could use a little shine and paint on it. But I like it.

40. This lamp switches on and off with the turn of a knob.

057e59c372d3341aa644203097f81975

Of course, it’s another one of those gear lamps. Then again, I’m not sure if the knob on the side is a switch after all.

41. Don’t know what it is but this lamp reminds me of a hot iron.

114ce4638d948b814f08e368feb3c546

Then again, it’s an iron made into a lamp. Still, the bulbs seem to have some resemblance of being on fire.

42. Not sure about you, but someone must think that pin seashells make great lampshades.

321c8536793eaf5b14e9ff9a25266c35

Of course, a seashell lampshade isn’t in my taste. To me, it looks like a tacky souvenir from the beach. Yet, since it’s unique, I’ll add it.

43. If your old fire extinguisher doesn’t work, make a lamp out of it.

577a06e1a5495924caca9d2721ec8534

Sure, it’s not an attractive lamp and might be quite heavy. But you have to admire this designer’s creativity with this.

44. Now this is known as a “Dragonfly Lamp.”

815c184dab2643fcd8d32beaf0dd6832

Now this is probably a Victorian lamp. Why they have a dragonfly one, I don’t know. Of course, the Victorians were as capable of tackiness as we are. Well, in some ways.

45. Of course, there’s no table lamp that has more bling like this one.

875bdadf5bf5caa4f0a20c8e8e6b9921

And I’m sure this lamp is delicate and doesn’t come cheap. Still, I’d really hate to clean and polish that thing. Really would hate it.

46. If you like marine, may I suggests some jellyfish lamps on your ceiling?

2016-Design-Lamp-Ideas

Nevertheless, even if they electrocute you if you’re not too careful, they’re much safer than real jellyfish. Let’s just say, jellyfish can be very poisonous and being stung by one will cause you unbearable agony.

47. This is a lamp from the 1950s whose style was inspired by the paintings of Piet Mondrian.

 

05771cdbbf7a8c4ef9414cc0a0507239

He was a Dutch painter whose artwork consisted of stuff like rectangles and squares in primary colors. Also, for a time in his life, he sported a Hitler style mustache in some photos.

48. If you want to get more with nature, I suppose this chandelier will suit your fancy.

6354b7953cea2ad5fccbe50e11460a82

Now this one consists of light bulbs on tree branches. Bound to scratch some heads of some people. And might make some think you’re a weirdo.

49. Now this gives a whole new meaning to the word, “snake light.”

21891fa2b5cfb429f4e8de01129a75c4

Now this isn’t a new lamp. But for some reason, I can totally see one of these at Lord Voldermort’s place. Maybe because it’s a snake lamp.

50. As for this lamp, I’d be careful handling that lampshade if I were you.

033582aecf6f6e977fe862d2f4a548d0

Yes, this is a very spiky lamp as you can see. Also, another lamp that you’d probably don’t want to clean for obvious reasons.

51. Heard of a projector light? Now see a projector lamp.

48188df855769dc905b95fd3338f2936

Yes, this is a projector lamp made with an actual projector. However, the projector seems to be used more or less as a base.

52. Of course, there are some freaky taxidermy lighting out there. This is a badger lamp.

447953b61eefefec3a61c26a635b9626

Wonder why in the hell would anyone make a lamp as freaky as this? Also, that’s really terrible taxidermy near the head. Not sure what to think of the badger here.

53. A lamp like this is guaranteed to help you spring into action.

650247ad91b678702ad616978b8df5a3

Yes, this is an actual spring lamp. Of course, it doesn’t make you think of baby animals and flowers. But nevertheless, it’s quite a springy lamp. Yet, one that reminds you of mattresses.

54. Of course, this lamp is bound to make an explosive impression.

1071911_nuke_lamp_1

Now this is a lamp of a nuclear mushroom. Certainly to make anyone nervous just looking at is strikes fear of total annihilation. Seriously, why the hell did anyone thinks it’s a good idea?

55. For many, a lamp like this is guaranteed to blow their minds.

a431_brain

Then again, there could be worse body part lamps than the brain. But still, unless you’re into this sort of thing, it’s kind of disgusting. Hope it doesn’t belong to a certain “Abby Normal.”

56. From what I read on Google Search, these are called “Moonwalk Lamps” reminiscent of Michael Jackson’s dance moves in the 1980s.

a431_moonwalk

I’m not a fan of Michael Jackson and usually don’t listen to his music. However, I think these lamps are very cool.

57. Of course, nothing gives you the feeling of the beach than a large seashell lamp like this.

e25732275dff6e0bcb96cfdb91108c3b

Then again, this one is exceptionally tacky with the bare breasted mermaid statue at the base. Still, this is a more outrageous example so it’s going in the post.

58. For some reason, you’d swear a lamp like this might have a mind of its own.

b4f96402fb15ff83a6f18d9cbfe95e0b

Now this lamp is made from wires and pipes with a light on its head. Yet, it’s shaped like a little pipe figure which is pretty adorable.

59. Looks like old Bessie got herself abducted by some extra terrestrials.

alien-abduction-lamp-ufo-lamps

Now this lamp of a cow getting kidnapped by aliens is pure genius. I hope that farmer has other cows before he gets to Bessie the next morning. Love it though.

60. Of course, this might the closest we could get to Aladdin’s magic lamp.

c15b4daa8b59c27adde7569668d6147e

Again, this is an old lamp. But it’s sure a fancy one. Still, I think it would be better without the big part coming from the gold part.

61. “Aaah! “Fra-GEE-leh!” It must be Italian!”

img-thing

Of course, I couldn’t do a post on this without including this famous leg lamp from A Christmas Story. This is the table lamp version. But at least the box looks like it’s from the movie.

62. Sometimes you can make an alien weapon with basically anything.

ceeb1e1fcd292ea5db6090b0485778cd

Yes, it’s a lamp made by some kitchen implements. But put them together, you either have a satellite or an alien laser death ray.

63. For those who like Space Age designs, here’s a rocket ship lamp.

cfb01f658744a125c3dd11dae8b4b548

Now I think this one is from the Atomic Age. But yeah, that rocket seems to appear as if it was straight out of a cartoon.

64. Seems like this guy is pretty busy on the ceiling.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I wonder if that’s supposed to be an astronaut doing a spacewalk. Because if you look closer, it sure looks like it.

65. At one angle, this wooden lamp looks as if it’s on fire.

diy-stacked-lamp-mike-warren-thumb

Of course, this is a perfectly safe lamp because it’s just a bulb inside. And the light is traveling inside it to give the illusion of fire.

66. An airship like this certainly lights up a room.

e0fa68d4eb3a2ca8e2e6ebebce44049c

Yes, this is another Steampunk lamp. But this one is an incredible ceiling one of a blimp that gives a blue light. That’s different.

67. Heard of an IV stand in hospitals. There’s a lamp of that.

a8a8a851f3b32a5dc75caba78d5b55d3

Now when I hear the term “medical arts” this will appear in my mind. Yes, it’s kind of freaky. But hey, it kind of looks easy to make.

68. Now you can turn this lamp as much as you please.

e49fe8e18003176c58e6bbee0ceaa583

As you can see, this lamp was made from a bicycle wheel. Nevertheless, I find it quite dazzling, especially with the lights emanating from all directions.

69. Of course, beautiful things come when your lamp is a stained glass violin.

f39a5086b895fe7f86e4a59583659c15

Not sure whether the violin is real. But I do like the artwork depicting birds and roses on this. Quite lovely to say the least.

70. When you look at these lamps, you could’ve sworn they were made of mineral crystals.

 

creative-lamps-pixel-2

Of course, they’re probably made from those stretchy things you find at as store and made to look like crystals. But the effect is awesome just the same.

71. Of course, this lamp dog just had to relieve himself.

good-puppy-lamp-whatshisname-1

Yes, this is a lamp depicting a dog taking a dump. Yes, I think this one might exist though I wouldn’t recommend you buy it. Still, unusual as it is and hilarious, it goes on this post.

72. Those in the mood for colorful candy fun will sure enjoy some gummi bear lamps.

gummi-lamps

Yes, these a cute gummi bear lamps as you see here. No, they aren’t edible and are probably much bigger than real gummi bears. But yes, they’re cute.

73. Sometimes you’d wonder what it would be like to have a lit noose hanging from your ceiling.

noose-hanging-lamp

Of course, having a lamp like this might lead your loved ones to call some local psychiatrist or suicidal hotline. Yeah, that’s in very poor taste. Very poor taste, indeed.

74. Fans of Super Mario Bros. will certainly love a pipe lamp like this.

il_570xN.457383200_bk4r

Wonder if this lamp plays the song to Super Mario Bros. Then again, that game’s music was pretty annoying, anyway. But quite catchy.

75. Of course, some lamps don’t always come in great aesthetic taste. Like this poop lamp here.

poop_lamp_1

I think this might be a real thing. And comes in a can. Still, if your real poop glows in the dark, you might want to see a doctor.

76. Now these are called, “Slap It Lamps.”

slap-it-lamps

Yes, these are butt lamps and they come in so many different colors. I know this is tasteless and crude but these kinds of pictures help my blog. Also, they’re funny.

77. Now this Darth Vader lamp seems to find your lack of light disturbing.

 

weird-lamps1

Then again, Darth Vader is squarely on the Dark Side for most of the original trilogy. Also, he’s responsible for killing millions of people. So I think this lamp really doesn’t do him justice.

78. Of course, a bread lamp might help you see your dinner better.

o-BREAD-LAMPS-570

Of course, these lamps aren’t edible to say the least. But they sure look great in that bread basket.

79. Sure it’s not in the best of taste. But your hangman lamp would sure make a great conversation piece.

weird-lamps6

Now this is just crazy to say the least. Not to mention, inappropriate on so many levels since it features somebody getting killed. Still, it does look easy to make to say the least.

80. Now this squid chandelier might go well with your jellyfish lamps quite nicely.

zLf13JR

Now they make quite a few of these. However, I wonder if the Detroit Redwings have a chandelier like this in their dining hall. I mean their mascot is a giant purple octopus.

 

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas with These Village Houses

 

71ef065301f79ea43145498a70192721.jpg

Another big Christmas tradition pertains to Christmas villages where people make a little yuletide world within their own homes or at some public venue. You see these often with toy trains as well. Now the tradition for these little Christmas villages is rooted in the Moravian Church a Protestant denomination in central Europe that settled in places like Salem, North Carolina and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It mostly started with putting a nativity scene at the base of the Christmas tree called a putz. But these displays soon became more elaborate and by the early 19th century would include scenes from the Bible like Noah’s Ark. By the mid-19th century, the putz began to include more secular elements such as the Christmas village scenes you see today. And they also have villages pertaining to Halloween and Easter as well. Now this can be a rather expensive tradition since many buildings and figures used are usually made from ceramic and porcelain, which might come from sets. However, there are plenty of people who make their own houses with craft store supplies and other stuff lying around. It’s pretty fascinating stuff. So for your reading pleasure, here I give you some miniature houses for these Christmas villages.

  1. Of course, almost every Christmas village needs their own gazebo.
0d753d59dda269245241f93c0b9d114d

Now this one has a bright blue roof and roses on top. But it has a Christmas tree within its bounds.

2. To light up a Christmas house, a string of pearls will do.

2a276ee96556c4f72289fe3fd434cd49

And it appears these pearls are on the roof. Also, the windows seem covered in tinsel. And the figures seem about too tall for the doorway. These things aren’t done to scale.

3. When it comes to Christmas houses, red really stands out.

2bedfa0d0031f403b27db470cbf68ccc

This one seems to have a wreath at the front door and a snowman. And it’s on a stand. Still, this is quite cute. Love the snow on the roof.

4. Of course, you find plenty of churches among the Christmas villages. Many with steeples.

2fe689c70452da9863e680a669e6a774

And this blue one seems to have no glass windows and a lot of snow on the roof. Wonder if the steeple doubles as a lightning rod of some sort.

5. For a lovely Christmas house, it helps to add glitter.

3d492c3324c12fb7497323febc1783cf

Now a lot of these houses use glitter to capture the effects of the glistening snow. But as we all know, glitter can sometimes make a mess if you aren’t too careful.

6. For the surrounding foliage, the ornaments always have to match the house.

0fdc9bedab8a903456a7ac37202bfb2a

Now most people don’t decorate their trees in their yards. But you see this a lot in Christmas village houses. Nevertheless, I like the wreath on this one.

7. When it comes to Christmas villages, some can be quite elaborate as they may be.

4ef0eb9c1cb36.preview-620

This is meant to be a village near a coastal town, possibly in New England. And yes, it includes a wooden ship near the bay. But yes, someone had too much time on their hands.

8. For roof tiles, you can’t go wrong with using pine cones.

5a6d5e19d1a822eed7f7d4213ab4684b

Now this village seems to be built on some miniature garden. But the roofs look fairly realistic thanks to using pine cones. Not sure about the trees.

9. If you can’t light a Christmas house up from the windows, use some wreaths and garlands.

6a00e54ed958f38833017d3c5d6227970c

Now this one looks like it was homemade as you can see by what the roof and trees are made from. But I do like the red bows and fake branches. Very Christmasy.

10. If you think Christmas houses are too expensive, just think of what you can do with a small cardboard box and construction paper.

6a00e54ed958f388330120a7205b8c970b

Not sure if lime green is a suitable color for a house of any kind. But I think this one is quite cute to say the least.

11. With this Christmas village, every house and building has its own place.

6b6b0b3412fa2a11d43d1ae54199eb93

Now this looks like a cute idea. Love how each little house has its own shelf by the top. I’d like to take a closer look.

12. I don’t know about you, but something tells me this place is toasty inside.

6e9b305cf92c50ff0b62f2a098049d86

I think those are supposed smoke stacks coming from the chimney. But it kind of looks like they’re windblown trees at another angle.

13. If you don’t want kids getting to your Christmas village, you can always use a cabinet to display it.

7c9c19e11b119492fe03452c610c6f7b

Now this is quite elaborate if you ask me. Seems to resemble a little village at night when you look at it. Love how they used a starry background.

14. When it comes to Christmas villages, some can take over a living room floor.

7d93b3189c5a47045cd3d544f3970bbf

Now this is why a Christmas village can be a rather expensive hobby. And yes, it’s near the tree. Still, if you have kids or pets, please keep them away.

15. Seems like this house has about 3 stories on it.

7ff0fe16864fcc5faf4f6dcfce648a6e

Now I’m sure you wouldn’t see a whimsical house like that in your neighborhood. But it’s quite charming and you can’t help but love it.

16. I suppose this is what Santa’s home is supposed to look like at the North Pole.

8bfd5e48d4fb9af1b9fecaf9c8c56ea4

Now Now this looks quite charming. Not sure of the Clauses having a lawn. But I think the house colors and decorations suit them.

17. Glitter and plaid would sure make any little Christmas house festive.

8d75118291c9c408436df7c9d4b7c838

Now this has golden glitter snow and a facade of plaid wrapping paper. Also has a lace ribbon tied in a bow. Like the windows, too.

18. If you like townhouses, you’ll find this especially charming.

08f6f8a6c26d8bfad015fc729e407b94

Now this consists of 3 houses in pastel colors. Nevertheless, I find such display particularly whimsical and adorable this time of year.

19. Of course, you can add some extra to go with the village display.

9a6f0d746fb80874a0e4b315bae51a0d

Now this is a display pertaining to a skating rink and a hillside. And the icicles are hung to give it more flair. Of course, in my area, you wouldn’t have snow outside.

20. At this country church, Christmas comes but once a year.

9f7c7794f7a05463a765e2e90f67d757

Now this is quite pretty. Seems like one of those little churches you see in movies. Like the decorations and the bell tower, too.

21. Still, you always have to put the toy shop right next to the music store.

83b87d4aa75472f2bf775530d905a09b

While the music store has bows and garlands, the toy shop has a Christmas tree. Still, it’s quite charming if you ask me.

22. Seems like Santa has just stopped here or the sleigh is just a decoration.

426cbe3fce39acfa20fcfa1a1a939e34

Now this house has two large decorated Christmas trees, a snowman, and Santa on his sleigh. It also has 2 chimneys and a wreath.

23. Think porcelain and ceramic is too expensive? Try cards and cardboard.

763d6de34e5fce4a2daf6247596e33a0

This church uses a lot of elaborate pieces of paper to cover it. And it has paper decorations as well. Still, I like the jingle in its bell tower.

24. Looking for a way to arrange your Christmas village? How about a corner shelf display.

811c592d6e5fde6f225f755614dd4f71

Now this seems like a nifty idea. And I see this area is dolled up with houses, lights, and cotton snow. Still, keep away from small children and animals.

25. Seems like this place is selling cut Christmas trees for $1.

94a7589b73e84f99b46918051390c599

Most of the time Christmas trees cost more than that. But not so at this snowman’s place. Still, it’s pretty cute.

26. While real houses have shabby colors, with a Christmas house you can have a glitter roof.

7550db65629ee08b28ab3a70a35bda40

Now this is a lovely house. Looks so rustic and quaint. But if it were real, it would sure have a large mortgage and heating bill.

27. Now this church certainly has decked the halls this Christmas.

1512e1925cbc9792ad5c25b95f7c360b

Yes, it’s a pink church with pink tinsel and pin Christmas tree ornaments. But it’s delightful and pretty nonetheless. And it lights up from the inside.

28. When it comes to decorating your Christmas trees, it helps that they match.

2d4c25fc64037b946113fac7e847812a

Now these Christmas trees are about even. And this place has a reindeer and snowman in front. Love the pink.

29. Nothing brings the spirit of Christmas to your home than a Victorian shabby pink Christmas village.

6888ba4588d551b6469a3b4a23e84875

I’ve seen a lot of such buildings on Pinterest. Not sure if they’re craft or professionally done. However, they are unique so they’ll go on.

30. Who says that you can’t have a church with 2 towers?

20513c5bce45c49176b1ec7a46480328

Now this is quite intricate. Love the towers and the stained glass window in front. And how it has 3 ways to enter or exit.

31. While most Christmas houses are miniature, there are some rather big ones like this.

039982d6dd718882105256078c914c64

Now this one is probably as big as a dollshouse and covered in paper. And yes, it has fairly realistic Christmas decorations. But it does look quite beautiful to say the least.

32. Seems like someone has gotten snowed in around these parts.

20801ede029224b40a53591129b8475d

Seems a little crowded under this roof. And there seems to be trees under there, too. Then again, not sure if it’s supposed to be made of snow.

33. You might’ve heard of a log cabin village. This one is made from sticks.

65622d91ca58394a4bf14079a50c2c1c

Now this looks quite rustic if you agree with me. Not sure if that’s supposed to be a barn or a church. Still, it’s pretty creative.

34. If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, I’m sure this house will suit your fancy.

7659d34678b10fc21dc25e94c7ed78bb

Now this looks so cute with a little snowman out front. Man, those look like big icicles. Yet, they enhance the house’s look. In real life, this wouldn’t be the case.

35. Of course, it doesn’t hurt when you put ornaments with the decorations.

957554de166956faa096cefc1b9a6659

Now this church certainly looks festive and Christmasy. Like the golden roof. And I also like that tower, too.

36. If you think one wreath isn’t enough, go with 3.

3000541 6.5 white house

Now this is a rather simple design. Just 2 chimneys, 3 wreaths, a few trees, and a garland on the fence.

37. If you want to make a Christmas house with glitter, make sure the foliage matches. Gold house means gold trees.

2ec2c952ea7f996b9750a2589f9a8bc8

Yes, I know there aren’t a lot of golden Christmas trees. Well, live ones anyway. Still, this is so pretty and sparkly.

38. When it comes to Christmas decorations, they really show up in beige.

173317cbf5b9528fc17ebab02524cb31

Now the tree is so petite and little. The wreath looks quaint. And the cross is somewhat askew. But it looks rather lovely.

39. On Christmas houses, you can always find ways to make them sparkle.

1355421833_lindad1

These 3 houses have some shiny beads, fake gems, and glitter. They also have some snowflakes and jingles.

40. For Christmas villages, nothing brings the holiday spirit than tables and trains.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Now you see a lot of Christmas villages with toy trains. And like this one, they tend to be in circles. Still, this is a lovely display and really lights up.

41. A Christmas village church is never complete without a nativity scene.

bf297d5fc6c17bb08db70b32d7c7c870

How they managed to find a nativity scene that small I’ll never know. Nevertheless, most churches usually have a nativity scene in front this time of year. Like the star on the bell tower, too.

42. When it comes to decorating your Christmas village house, you can go all out if you care.

b06549a63a2ed433b0d573299c5556f8

Now this house has so many decorations on here like tinsel, ornaments, trees, pearls, and a snowflake. Still, like the snow.

43. While many of these Christmas houses are in funky colors some look like any house on the street.

055921e2de91a8e4c781359ca3b42219

Not sure about the architecture on this one. Kind of looks lopsided to me. But I do like the decorations.

44. Sometimes a church tower is on top. Sometimes it’s on the side.

d1d89e51a71f2d744721d2ba4d9cf0bb

Now this is one of those Victorian pink shabby putz buildings. But I think it looks pretty with all the decor and cotton glitter snow.

45. You can always make a Christmas village lampost from paper, especially a Dickensian one like this.

d35fb8194f01a32c75827cca28c35de8

Wouldn’t think this was made from paper. But it does look quite quaint. Almost put this one in my craft post but I didn’t think it was appropriate.

46. For a more rustic and simple Christmas village, best go with a colonial.

8e94d0c74f5ce83b8cc78d2b9ebaaafe

Now this looks like a Christmas village house that’s not too flashy. Like how they have the wreath and the snowman. Also the windows are cool, too.

47. Of course, some people want their homes to look their best for Santa.

e246f8b4656086205f0ae89942eb13b3

Always has to be someone in the neighborhood who goes all out with the decorating. Luckily, Santa will just come in through the front door.

48. For some churches, a star on the tower has to stand out.

e277c50167953356c5d2c16f12f7c4b9

Yes, it has pink decorations. But you have to delight by how the star looks on the tallest tower. Wonder what’s in that present.

49. When you wish for a white Christmas, you can always add a snowflake on your home.

eca96af8101e3112fc108092d080bc4e

Yes, this is a bright blue winter wonderland house. And yes, there’s a snowflake on the front as well as tinsel at the borders.

50. When it comes to Christmas houses, they can be in as many colors as you like.

fcd02c9373aace1274f0ef2ce7837416

Now this one contains red, yellow, blue, and green. But it’s decorated by a wreath and some bottle brush Christmas trees. Like the snow here, too.

51. You may have heard of a Christmas house. But what about a Christmas barn?

4ee4586fa4ac61a2892ead9a669f7bd4

Didn’t know people actually decorated their barns for Christmas. Then again, perhaps this barn is more of a public venue for special occasions than anything.

52. If you want a more old-fashioned Christmas, you might like this brownstone.

62e2fd8dffe30cf97f66b6c9ff810511

Seems like most of the snow is on the roof. And every front window has a wreath. Not sure if I like the color.

53. Now this is what I called a really fancy barn.

ec6e70c6620b776e5a05510ba1ac7773

Yeah, Pinterest says it’s supposed to be a barn. Not sure if barns are supposed to look like that. I mean most I’ve seen don’t have towers.

54. Some homes have chimneys. Some don’t. But those that do, the chimney is usually made from brick.

b80c37e7a7eff62603a141370eaefe89

Now while most chimneys are usually at the side, this one is at the front. And I see cotton is used for smoke. Like the snowman.

55. Some cottages have more elaborate trimmings than others.

27b500303298dce03d7e860ef5f5e718

Now this might be a little bigger than the other examples. But nevertheless, it has a large wooden ship weather vane and other elaborate stuff near the roof and windows. Tree’s a bit lopsided.

56. Nothing makes a better Christmas house than one of green.

ba754de9b8762cf7d06467d49c399953

Now a green house with red windows and doors is certainly a Christmasy house, indeed. Doesn’t hurt if it has some decorations.

57. You know that you’re in the North Pole if you see a lamp post like this.

ffcdba5c3316f2ae611efe52d305fcb1

This is another one I was considering for my Christmas craft post. But since it looks like a miniature, I put it in this one.

58. Sometimes smoke is cotton while other times it’s of something covered in glitter.

79cee47e4fd5b99b861b9467308f146b

Now this one really has it all decked out for Christmas. The trees have ornaments and big stars. The roof is edged in tinsel. And there are figures in front.

59. Of course, for the low-income segment of your Christmas village, it doesn’t hurt to have a trailer.

eb29b55755355f374833beba0b80ab37

Yeah, I don’t think the lawn ornament is to scale. But a Christmas village trailer is a truly unique idea if you think about it.

60. For any Christmas house, it’s best to go with decorations of green and red.

96fcd9b41ad9bb7f91c7d1ffd5f1ddb1

Now this is quite festive. Has lots of beads and bows. Doesn’t hurt if it has a golden reindeer outside, too.

61. You can tell this is a Christmas house since it has its own balcony.

db3269499d5aa0eceaf7990d5ac147aa

Of course, if you just saw the tower, you’d think it was a church. No, it’s probably a house for someone of a higher tax bracket. Love the trees on this.

62. While you can decorate a Christmas house with wrapping paper, some can get very crazy with the colors and patterns.

a9bcb379a61b47511cb709e40e5dec8c

Now this looks like Lady Gaga’s dream house. And it has gold Christmas decorations, too.

63. For a more rustic Christmas, a log cabin brings an old-fashioned touch.

e8b35280814d0bd60a13d97653021a05

And it doesn’t hurt that it’s accompanied by a sled you’d see on Citizen Kane and a truck reminiscent of 1930s gangster movies. Still. the logs seem kind of flat for some reason.

64. A small wooden church is quite simple yet rather sturdy.

312b0663d7eb8f61277ffdd620753643

Now this doesn’t have a lot of decorations other than a wreath, lights, nativity scene, and star. But it looks so pretty to say the least.

65. You can set up your Christmas village anywhere, even on a cart.

3e0b59d0b3b180ca9bfa8865a246e502

I think this is from a baking cart. But somehow it looks like the work of someone with way too much time on their hands. Also, those branches look quite big.

66. I suppose this one comes with a separate garage.

SONY DSC

Then again, the buildings might be connected. Nevertheless it seems to have a lot of snow splotches on the roof. Like the fence decorations.

67. For a white Christmas, a white church always needs snow.

a84841168487d2093ef9dddf003f1c0a

Now this mostly has snow on the roof and the steeple bell tower. Yet, it sure is pretty.

68. A simple house like this for the holiday season always has to be blue and pink.

fdfbfe314191fe4f28d3de48e1777e45

Now this doesn’t look like a real house. But I do love it with how the top window resembles a snowflake. Like the trees, too.

69. Of course, when it comes to scale, some figures might be larger than some of the doorways.

86866669d54d6cdc9f06175f13c51338

Now the cat and the girl really don’t seem to fit through this house’s doorway. Yet, I do love the decor on this such as the tinsel and the wreath.

70. When it comes to Christmas churches, you can’t beat one of glittery blue.

a103b47ce74bc1097598a503227791b0

Now this one has a picture taken by an angle. Yet, the only way you can tell it’s a Christmas decoration is how it’s surrounded by 2 bottle brush trees.

71. A bright Christmas house always is of yellow and pink.

2b71f8874d522813971ac3919783852b

Now this is a lovely house. Like the tinsel and tree decorations. Quite ingenious.

72. Nothing makes a Christmas cottage than being decorated in pearls.

c47effca1a0fde4da8e95407234a550c

Now this looks like a little girl’s dream and it’s quite cute. I really like the purple roof on this.

73. Now this blue Christmas house is sure to stick out for Santa.

a10de1cc0dda93f774ae9ce8e2b6cf2f

I think this might be the biggest blue house in my post. Then again, the picture was taken at close range. Yet, I do like how the roof is covered in a glistening snow.

74. To bring some perk to your Christmas village, go with pink.

43725fc65d908f9510857b8061efe405

Now this includes a house, a church, and a gazebo. And yes, it’s all quite pretty and glittery as you can see. But I like it.

75. Now this Christmas trailer sure looks well decked for the holiday season.

e0b5ae3f094c257077d1c432372f39e3

This one has pearl and tinsel decorations. Also, seems like someone just got a Christmas tree. Wonder it will fit.

76. I call this one, “church on the rocks.”

d1f4de429d381ae5b415a3ce948a454d

Sort of looks like it’s right beside a mountain or forest. But it has some kind of elegance in simplicity to it for some reason.

77. No Christmas house could ever be more lovely when it is in purple.

32a5fce3547b65b540110cf918a19740

Now this has some whimsy to it, especially with the Dr. Seusslike decorations. Still, I think it’s pretty.

78. Of course, a Christmas church always has to be surrounded by trees.

8d7b2bab2d3bd33cfd9951926e6dcf9c

Yes, this has a lot of white trees nearby to make it seem less plain. But I do love the snow near the cross.

79. A pink glitter house always needs a tall smokestack.

5ab1f5a38f33ed0dc004857c00395dc6

Yes, this is another pink glitter house. And yes, it’s cute and adorable. But its smokestack is something that defies so much explanation.

80. Of course, you can’t have a Christmas village without a school house.

263da17a01108c5610120b82ab8d43b4

Not sure what I think about this building, Doesn’t seem to be bright red and perky. But I do like the trees.

81. Some people dream to have a white Christmas house like this.

8c9cad830f4917da511863699469b5ef

As for me, I tend to wish for a white Christmas for once this year. Yet, whether there is, I have no way of knowing. Seriously, winter looks less crappy with snow.

82. Nothing makes a Christmas house better than a nice sloping roof for a change.

e559f3e2c3a2cdf5bfddf75ba23e9d0a

Now this is an interesting architectural design. But you have to like the facade on this one. Looks delightful.

83. A house of gold and white will always bring Christmas cheer.

cb54bda9fcbb2622deb39e413d8f0e6e

The roof may be gold. But it has some degree of snow on it. Still, while these gold trees look stunning, real trees like that look dead.

84. A teal church like this is sure to stun anyone viewing your Christmas village.

8f158fed3da8aebec232318604b7cf23

And it’s complete with a nice cobblestone path. Like the matching Christmas trees, too. Wonder what those black things are.

85. Now a pearl on the face gives this house an ideal finishing touch.

da6b439827b836f53b36fd7d15099082

This looks so quaint and cute in a baby blue. Like the present, wreath, and tree on this one, too.

86. Let me guess, I suppose this is what the candy store looks like.

e219bf4fb234d9a32098aa6161f47fb6

Luckily this looks more of a candy cane place than a gingerbread home. So no witches with hot ovens for children here.

87. When it snows, you can always use some Christmas greenery.

f8d1341f66b3ffa6cefb7e9f79f0c87c

Now the roof has garlands and the enclosure has trees with red ornaments. Not sure about the color since the brown doesn’t seem very appealing. The rest is fine.

88. For a Christmas village church, a simple red roof is all you need.

6798b8960f40c57f1603ab487e01d2dc

Now this one just has trees for Christmas to be in the spirit of the holiday season. However, it also has a gold bell in the tower. Love the glittery red roof.

89. A white church always has to have a silver roof of glitter.

81ef934c168abfada390c335666ebe0c

Now this looks fairly realistic for a church in some picturesque New England village. Nevertheless, it’s quite lovely.

90. Looks like Santa is about to visit this green house with the silvery snow roof.

9d68f8151dbb2e9dd516be934ba475e3

And it seems that Santa has 6 reindeer. Granted 9 might’ve been a bit too much. Still, I think the house is beautiful with silver snow and a green facade.

91. Of course, Christmas houses don’t always have to have a rustic or old fashion design.

ebda077c5f4fc14731f37c3b617d0c1e

This one has a more post WWII design. Not really into architecture after that period. But this looks quite Chirstmasy to say the least.

92. If you’re into more glass windows, perhaps a frame house may suit you.

3bc462188ebbb405c16c8cde82969cad

Like I said, I’m not a big fan of modern architecture after 1945. But I’m sure the light will definitely shine through this one.

93. This house has some ample room to put the car under the port.

b8988722e0dc182d8e90608fb0bd4045

Yes, this is another modern house that looks 1950ish. The poles are of candy cane pattern. But it’s sure to have windows big enough for light.

94. If you like the 1950s, then you’ll love this butterfly ranch house.

996a869bbe19b0dd16661cf41d05ae4d

Then another modern looking house from the Post War era. Love the color, but the style not so much. Really don’t dig into this type of architecture.

95. If you prefer the Renaissance, I’m sure this Christmas house will suit your fancy.

0c8d89baafc25d8ba5f03b672600035a

Now this is quite quaint. But to me, you don’t see a lot of houses like this unless it’s at a Renaissance festive. It’s more a European style.

96. Now this Christmas village seems like it’s all set on a mountainside.

e71dc18f996422cf937d203400dc0f1c

Seems like a lovely village from the looks of it. Still, seems like it takes a hell of a long time to assemble. Yeah, someone has too much time on their hands.

97. This purple house is guaranteed to put you into the holiday spirit this Christmas.

ef73abcffb6536239639b629ed91fe64

Now this looks quite whimsical and I love the decorations. I also like the fact that it’s purple, too.

98. When it comes to Christmas churches, stained glass windows are must.

2ebf08da8cd3f062eb31a47d0d19ab11

Now this one has a pink roof and bell. It also has stained glass windows in the front. Still, it’s quite lovely to say the least.

99. For Christmas you can’t go wrong with a house of candy canes and snowflakes.

a2745096372f848f8eb4032424cf409e

Now this house is mostly red and white save for the wreath and trees. Still, love the bow on this since it makes look so charming.

100. Nothing makes a Christmas village better than a simple blue glitter house.

51344aae295c0328cefbbd8c2daff386

Yes, it’s a little house with a small Christmas wreath on the front door. Yes, it only has one window. Still, I find it adorable.
