Candied Gingerbread Goodness~A Charming Entry

Hello, friends, I hope you’re doing well!  

Due to the fact that the world as it is right now can seem quite dismal, this year I thought I would create a more whimsical feeling around the house.  The house is decorated with a gingerbread/candyland theme...after all, I need some levity and a bit of cheerful fun!  I’m also taking it easy this year and repeating some décor around the house that I utilized a few years ago, and simply adding a few more elements.

A Charming Entry

If you have been on the blog before, you know that I typically start decorating my house from the front doors inward.  This time for the doors, I combined several elements.  

First, I created a decorative swag for each for each of my double doors.  

I began with a premade swag which has beautiful foliage, apples, berries, pine cones, etcetera.

I added this adorable little gingerbread-shaped basket,

I adorned it with a sweet candy-striped ribbon.

To finish it off, I added a sparkly red ribbon.  

Here is a look at the swags on the doors:

Next, I added a wintery garland around the door.

The garland looked a little barren, so I decided to add some candy elements around the door.

The giant candy canes came from The 99¢ Store.  The giant lollipops, giant peppermint balls, and giant peppermint sticks are homemade.  If you would like to view the tutorial, you may do so on my blog The Crafting Table here.

I also added some decorative elements to the outdoor lanterns.  I started by adding a simple pine swag.

I added a candy-striped ribbon to the top of the lantern, and also added one of the homemade peppermint sticks.  

The last thing I added were two gingerbread statues.  This boy and girl duo make such a cute couple!!  Such fun.  

Thank you for stopping by, and take care!

Happy Holidays With Hometalk

Hello, friends!  Thank you for stopping at my little corner of blogland!

I have some very exciting news here at the Parsimonious House!  The lovely folks at Hometalk enjoyed my Christmas swag tutorial I shared recently.

 

I am honored that they have asked me to curate a board of DIY Christmas Porch Ideas for them.  I've chosen fifteen projects that I feel are not only elegant, but simple to complete!

If you've never been to the Hometalk website, you really should give it a look-see!  I happened to mosey over there recently.  It is a great site where folks and bloggers like myself link up their projects.  There is so much inspiration there!  On the site, you will find DIY projects, organizational ideas, decorating tips, recipes for homemade cleaners; the list goes on and on!!  It is also set up and you can create or "curate" your own clipboards of ideas you find and want to save for future reference.

Each of the projects you see below has a tutorial on the site.  Simply click the picture below, and it will direct you to the board I've curated on Hometalk and the projects' respective links.  The pic below shows twelve projects, but there are 15 in total!  I hope you find as much inspiration as I did!  Enjoy!
