Hello! I hope everyone is safe and surviving through everything that has been going on and coping as well as you possibly can. Even though this year is very different for some people, i hope you are getting into the festive spirit and have time to spend or face time with your loved ones. I decided to get creative this year by painting my own Christmas tree decorations. I love and have been supporting small businesses this year with all of their beautiful products. Although this year i had a vision of what i'd like on my tree but unfortunately i could not find what i was looking for. I has a desire for a combination of pink and green decorations which i haven't seen around. I mostly searched online as that was the safest option, however i just could not find what i was after. I really love the authenticity of homemade decorations and decided to avoid plastic this year.
The majority of hobby crafts site was out of stock, though i did manage to find some plain ceramic and wooden pieces ready to decorate. I mostly just got stuck in by creating little prints, styles i love and i even attempted a snow scene. Let's just say i did my best and was happy with the overall outcome, just don't look too closely!
I finished all of my baubles with some Mod Podge, however i did think it smudged or blurred some of my designs. This is a case of testing, learning and practising what works best with the materials.

I added some chiffon grey ribbon with a tied end to hang on the Christmas tree. My inspiration was to keep it simple yet cute, i am quite excited to share this as it is my first tree in my own home this year to show off and would love to share some festive happiness.
I hope you enjoyed seeing what i have been up too and my creative input this festive season, it was very therapeutic. Except when i was too impatient to wait for the paint to dry ahah.
Which bauble is your favourite? Are you excited for Christmas yet?
Are you feeling festive?
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and enjoy all of the love, food and new traditions on the day! Please all stay safe and look after yourselves. I am always here if you need to talk or rant.
Love Tishhlah x
