PINK CHRISTMAS TREE holiday decor

There was no plan to have a pink Christmas tree this year
but somehow it happened anyway.
It all started with this little fellow and Georges love of Penguins.
Hes silver and white and when we found him late this fall it was
decided we would do a silver and white tree.
Quickly one fat squat penguin bird lead me to this chickadee sized bird
dressed all in white.
Then to this delicate silver glass bird adorned with
long white tail feathers mounted on a spring and clip.
I did decorate the whole tree in white and silver
but it seemed to be missing something.
So I wandered around the house till I came up with that something,
2 large bouquets of pink peonies really make it stand out now.
We both adore the look.
SNEAK PEAK ...
Pictured below is the dresser I first started working on last week.
It has changed considerably since I first started and I will share the final look soon.
UPDATE: this old world style dresser reveal can be found here

My daughter got schooled really quickly how to get the van turned around
when mommy sees junk she wants.
 Here are some more behind the scene photos ...

SHEET MUSIC TREE ORNAMENT tutorial

Yesterday I was asked about many of the items used on my mantle.
And did I have tutorials on some of the items.
This morning I bring you the first of several Christmas tutorials:
SHEET MUSIC TREE ORNAMENTS
You will need:
Hot glue gun & glue
Scissors
A sheet of music
Glitter
White glue
String
2 plates
2 center decorations (Santa graphic)
Take your sheet music and cut it to the size you want your finished ornament to be.
Above is an example of the size I did compared to the page of the sheet music.
Accordion your cut piece.
Tie your tightly folded accordion section in the middle with your hanging string.
Fold in half length wise and hide the string where you glue it together with your glue gun.
Now glue the other side and press the edges together forming a full circle.
Tie off your string and trim the length.
Now to the glitter part and the center decoration.
Ive used a graphic printed from the computer with a vintage Santa image.
You could use many things such as: parts of old greeting cards, gift tags, or
even type out a tag saying:
TO:
FROM:
and use it as a gift tag
This is my glue plate pictured below.
You need to have a good amount of white glue to dip your parts in.
Have your glitter ready for dipping also.
Between your fingers roll your decoration in your glue, coating the edges.
Move to your glitter and roll your decoration there next.
Set it aside to dry.
Repeat the steps for the second decoration.
1 for the front and 1 for the back.
You can also do different pictures front and back for a different look
depending what side you want to show.
Now you do the same thing with the sheet music fan circle.
Roll the edge in your glue
Then in your glitter.
Now hot glue your ornaments in the centers,
1 side then the other.
Hang your Sheet Music Ornament and enjoy
