How’s your Christmas decorating coming along? I must say, I’m rather pleased with myself, because not only did I manage to get my rustic garden shed decorated for Christmas, it also snowed just in time for the shoot! So I’ll be sharing that next week.
However this week, I have a super fun idea for your Christmas front porch…
DIY pallet Christmas tree sign
I knew I wanted a Christmas tree porch sign of some type after coming up with THIS ONE 2 years ago. But this round, it’s all about a pallet tree, made super easy with THIS STENCIL.
And now I can even deem my Christmas front porch ready! Lookit me go!
But this is only a start… wait until you check out these other fabulous Christmas features from last week’s party… they are so unique!!

If you’ve decorated with ice skates before, it’s my bet you left out one very important and very realistic detail. Can you spot it in this beautiful front porch Christmas vignette? Head on over to this tutorial to learn how to add ice to your skates next round! It makes all the difference!
Craft a unique piano hammer Christmas tree
Piano hammer Christmas tree by A Pretty Happy Home
It’s not every day you get to watch a creative on Instagram stories build a piano hammer Christmas tree! But I did just that, and now it’s in a blog post so you can check it out… and scrounge up your own piano keys from somewhere! Isn’t it the coolest effect?

Goodwill cable knit blanket chest makeover by Organized Clutter
Have a plain blanket chest sitting around? This tutorial shares how to perfectly theme it to wear a super cozy cable knit look, thanks to an easy to use cable knit stencil pattern! Adore the contrast of the dark and light.
Create whimsical faux gingerbread trees and a village
Faux Gingerbread trees & village by Homeward Found Decor
This delightfully festive tutorial shares how to create a faux gingerbread village, perfect for a Christmas mantel! But it’s the trees up close that really intrigued me. I mean, frost-coated pom pom gingerbread? Doesn’t get much more decadent than that!

Thank you Donna for choosing my Christmas tree made from leftover magazines. It was an honor for me. Have a nice weekend ♥
I just LOVE that piano hammer tree! Years ago I took apart a piano and couldn't for the life of me figure out what to do with those! Genius idea!
Your porch leaner is SO adorable! What a great idea.
Thank you for hosting the party.
I LOVE the pallet Christmas tree!
thank you so much for including my little 'gingerbread' trees in your feature this week, Miss Donna! i'm so glad you like them. (and you might laugh at this, but i figured out that they were missing one final detail: scent! so i dripped some gingerbread-scented oil onto the wood bases, and now they are REALLY sweet!)
...but the truth is, Annisa's piano key tree is the BEST Christmas tree craft i've ever seen! WOW!
That hammer tree is awesome. Reminding me that I have a whole piano-full of those and have been trying to figure out a good upcycle for them. Thanks for that feature! And thanks for hosting. So glad you got a pretty snowfall for your outdoor decor pics; happened for me this week, too!
Thanks so much for featuring my blanket chest with cable knit stencil! It would be fun to fold a cable knit throw and display on top.
