Handmade Holiday Decor Shopping Guide (Giveaway!)

Nov 04

Okay, so it’s probably a given that I love me some handmade holiday decor, right? But sometimes, especially around the holidays- who has the time? Not me this year! I’ve got a few projects on the go, but I kind of wish I could just buy myself all the Christmas cheer made by someone else. So I’ve created a shopping guide in case you’re in that boat this year too. This is all hand made and lovely Christmas decor for your home! And because I love you so much- one of you is going to win $50 to Etsy to bring one of these babies (or something else if you choose!) home to get your home ready for the season.

A Handmade Holiday Shopping Guide

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom:

ONE: I’m a sucker for scandi fabrics at the best of times… but at Christmas? They were kind of made for each other. These simple sleek stockings are no different. And they’re made about an hour away from me (three cheers for local!).

TWO: Have you laid your eyes on felt ball garlands yet? I have a monochromatic one and love it but would love to add in a festive guy to our holiday decor! They’re so simple but ooze cozy.

THREE: Hustle hard ’til Santa comes… oh man, this pillow just needs an amen. Then kick back and binge on sugar cookies and turkey. #amiright The gorgeous hand lettering makes it pretty much irresistible too.

FOUR: Embroidery is one of those skills that I just don’t have… yet. Maybe one day. This minimal embroidered advent calendar is amazing, and since it’s not paper, it will last for years.

FIVE: I only included a couple items in this guide that are from outside of Canada and this sign… it was just SO good it had to make it in. And Missouri is just next door anyways ;)

SIX: How sweet is this clay ornament?! I’ve worked with clay a couple times and I can’t imagine how much skill and patience it takes to craft something like this. The matt finish is just beautiful.

SEVEN: So we’ve established that I’m a fan of beautiful tea towels, right? This hand lettered lovely needs to find it’s way into my collection for sure.

EIGHT: These ornaments are so unique, I had to include them. I’m crazy impressed with how they’re crafted too. Little glass houses… get on my tree!

NINE: Chalkboard is so perfectly suited for Christmas- isn’t it? It is the perfect balance to all the red, green, and glitz. These personalized ornaments would make the best gift topper if you ask me.

 

Alright… that’s my list, and I won’t even pick a favourite because it’s a hard tie. But since I can’t help it… it’s between that sign and the pillow. There’s something about hand lettering, friends. I’m addicted! Now… let’s get one of these into your hands. Just enter below!

    I love that feather ornament! I attempted handmade clay ornaments with the kids one year…it didn’t work out that well. I am a sucker for cute ornaments though so that one stood out to me! (And the chalkboard ones too!)
