wnc_mom Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 hey guys & girls! I know i am starting my holiday shopping and planning(as well as decorating) so i figured we needed a thread(besides the toy thread) to discuss all things holiday untill its time for the offical forum to open :) One of my questions...i am making all my fall crafts this week as most stores have started getting fall stuff in. Here in a week or 2 i am planning on starting christmas crafts and such since its the most time consuming holiday of the year. I am wanting to do some outdoor wooden displays (like on deck the yard) but we are having a hard time as what to do! we dont have alot of $ to play with or i could go all out! but on a limited budget we can only do a few key items! i love whimsical christmas stuff and the grinch themed stuff and would love to do something like that! im a *fairly* good painter i design childrens room signs and large wooden wall cutouts.

Elmck Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 We make a lot of candy to give away at the holidays. I have been thinking about making some of them earlier and freezing to save time later. I would dip them later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laddhorn Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Since you are good at wooden wall cutouts, you could easily design some Christmas-themed ones and with a sheet of plywood a few 2x4s and some paint complements of Lowes/Home Depot, you could have alot of stuff! Maybe experiment at first to see what you like and sell the ones that don't make the "cut"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amberjobryant Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 what about a gingerbread city??? you could do a house and some people and some little trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoppingChick13 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 You could do a holiday greeting "Happy Holidays!" "Let it Snow!" Snowmen are easier to cut out and easy to paint, you also wouldn't need as many colors. A lot of white, and some blue for shading and then a smaller amount of decorative colors for scarfs and hats.

Ravenseye Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Me too babygirl! It opened around this time last year, when sears and kmart decided to trot out some of it's holiday goodies earlier than normal. :) Who know's, perhaps Santa's watching and will leave an early present for us! -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
