More Winter Decor

I absolutely HATE computer problems. My laptop is good (so they tell me) but it is five years old and it has been in the 'shop' for a tune-up but it is just so slow...so I am researching laptops to buy a new one...frustrating!

But on to talking about this post! I have been decorating a Chiropractor's office for well over 10 years. It's an easy job and I go in about every 6 weeks and change the decor.

I took down the Christmas decor and put up new winter decor that I made. I am allowed a budget to work with. I will focus on this file cabinet in this post, so let's break it down.

First I added some poly fiber to act as snow. I topped that with an old window (minus the glass) that has 'feet' to allow it to stand on it's own.  I then went out into my burn pile and got a large tree limb and cut it up. This firewood was tied with jute ribbon. I leaned an old pair of skates with greenery against the edge of the window. These skates were found at a garage sale and I changed out the laces for black contrasting ribbon and added glittered snowflakes all over the skates.

Then I went to Hobby Lobby and purchased a burlap canvas. I painted the words Winter Welcome.

I also got a twig looking snowflake ornament that is really made out of resin. I attached the 'icy' greenery with pine cone to the top of the canvas with a tiny nail. I hung the snowflake ornament on the nail head I left sticking up then made a bow from the jute ribbon and attached it.

The word Winter needed something, either shadowing or glitter, so I chose glitter that I added to the top of the words...

While I was adding the glue, I made the shape of a snowflake with the glue at the bottom corner of the canvas and then glittered it too.
Next to that, I simply added a half gallon canning jar with Epsom salt and white painted twigs.

While I was at Hobby Lobby, I saw a plain metal snowflake. I purchased it and added some 'icy' greenery and a jute ribbon bow.

There is a sled and more small winter decor throughout the office that I didn't take pictures of, but you can see this summer project, I took a very large framed piece of glass and added vinyl words that correspond with what this office does. I love getting adjusted!
