We had our first snowfall last night and everything is looking all perfect and Christmassy.

And it’s for Christmas!.So you can see that we’re up to our necks in perfect Fall scenery around here, but the time has come to start thinking about what I’m going to do for Christmas decorating this year..I have an idea that involves making a whole bunch of signs, which is convenient because A) I have a whole giant pile of wood sitting behind the garage that’s bugging me and B) I really like making signs..
I used Christmas Red acrylic for the base color and then just went a little nuts making it look like a bit of an old mess.I used my stamps and some Antique White for the lettering.. One down, fifty to go!.
…and then I’ll go and change my idea, of course.
That’s how these things work.. Oh well, you can never have too many cute signs!.This will be the center of your bow.
A ribbon between 1.5 to 2.5 inches wide usually works best for me, but you can experiment a little until you have a look that you like.There are no hard and fast rules with this napin fold.:).
Alternatively, you can also use strips of fabric if you have a beautiful patterned fabric that you’d like to use to decorate your tabletop.Simply fold the fabric into a long strip to hide the frayed, unfinished edges, then iron it to help it hold its shape.
