Holiday Decorating Prima-Style...

Prima products are great for all of your decorating needs! Just take a look at how our design team created a few unique decorations using the Prima-touch!

I can see this kissing ball hanging gracefully in a doorway! It is not only beautiful, but has a vintage, old-time-Christmas feel to it too. (You could add some mistletoe to really liven things up.) Roses: PE-002-24P, PE-002-19P, PE-002-24P; Lace: 529468  Kissing Ball by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer

You can also display one of these flower balls in a glass dish, along with some bright hydrangeas-528621- and a Holiday Lights bird-533618- for a stunning centerpiece. 

To make your own flowered kissing ball try these tips from Julie:

• Use an inexpensive paper maché Christmas ball from a craft store.

• First cover it with small flowers (Got Flowers will work-pick a coordinating color) since the roses will leave gaps.

• Next glue the roses over the small flowers.

• Added gold paint over the entire surface to match the gold hanging string, and add a little sparkle!

To give an ornament an extra special touch try this technique by Oddbjorg Ringsby! Take a simple heart ornament (Ikea has some great selections) and hang it from a paper ball created with strips of patterned paper and two brads (the brads are at the top and bottom of the paper strips to hold them together.) Hang with Prima lace and add Prima Pearl centers to the heart for a royal touch.

Garlands are all the rage now, and why not? They are FUN, simple to make and they use up your paper scraps! Amy Parker used a variety of Prima papers, her die-cut machine and some punches to create this festive decoration!

 

Garland Supplies:

Prima Paintables, Prima Packaging, Flirty Little Secret "Memoirs" #812737, Animal Bash "Tickled" #840860, Animal Bash "Animal Babble" #840907, Tropics "Mango Cherries" #840969, Tropics "Celery Splash" #840952, Tropics "Turtle Dove" #840921

Amy even threw some cardboard in there (with a touch of white paint.) What a great way to add a snowy feel to the garland!

Joei Lau also created a Christmas garland with an entire different feel! Joei cut Prima papers out and strung them along with photos and other precious keepsakes to create a one-of-a-kind holiday garland. Feel free to use Paintables for a custom effect. Papers: 840785, 840792, 840778, 812539

Joei also made a coordinating December Calendar page to keep all her important events on! This is a fabulous idea for those who NEED that visual record. Just add rub-ons (or number stickers) for each day...then add Prima paper cut-outs and flowers along the top. Little journaling notes can be adhered here and there for special notes.

Check out this amazing tip from Oddbjorg Rongsby! Take pre-purchased solid Christmas Tree bulbs and add our E-Line pearls and crystals to them for a DAZZLING effect! Our E-Line has so many colors to choose from that there is sure to be a perfect match for your ornament! E-Line: 300456

Oddbjorg even added some Sultan centers-535070- to a few longer ornaments for extra shine! How clever is that?

EX-cellent: let the soft tree invasion begin!

Thank you for posting the pattern. Like a few of the other commenters, I muddled out a pattern before I realized that you were generously providing one this week.

But there are still many, many more trees in me! These are fun, addictive, and so endearing!
