With Christmas and New Year's rapidly approaching, I'm ready to take my annual two week break from blogging and online business. But first I want to leave you with one last post for 2021- this cute thrift store fix up project:

Here is the cloche as I found it; very white and stark with lights that no longer worked. But for around $5 it was definitely worth taking home and fixing up!
I liked the size of it and the deer that were already in place, but the trees were just too plain. I did make sure to keep those miniature cardinal birds though, and ended up saving one to put back into the finished piece.
The first thing that I did was to remove the lighted trees and clean up the base.
After painting the base of the cloche a pretty gold, I removed the bottoms of some bottle brush trees. This made the trees shorter and gave a nice flat surface that I could add glue to. With a bit of hot glue I positioned the trees around the deer.
(Here is another post where I used bottle brush trees in my holiday decor crafting)
Next I used spray adhesive and faux snowflakes (both from Dollar Tree) to give a softer look to the ground of the scene.
Lastly I tucked one of those cardinals into the tallest tree before putting the dome back in place.
And there you have it, a lovely winter scene from a thrift store find.
I hope you enjoyed this holiday decor post, thanks for stopping by!
Happy holidays and see you in the new year!
