Farmhouse Christmas Decor – Why Buy It? Make It Instead
A Cozy Lifestyle with Clearissa Coward
While walking through Walmart the other evening, I saw an over-sized ornament that I fell in love with. Although I loved the ornament I couldn’t see myself paying approximately $7.99 for one Christmas ornament.

I took a photo of the piece and decided I would pass it up. However, once home, I remembered that I had purchased wooden ceiling fan blades back in the summer and I had a light-bulb moment. I COULD MAKE IT.
Christmas Shopping Tip #3: Layaway
With that in mind, I made the piece. Let me know how you think I did. And you will be surprised at how little I spent.
From this:
To This:
Supplies:
2 ceiling fan blades – In-house Habitat For Humanity – $1.00 each
Vinyl lettering – In-house Cricket
Greenery – Dollar Tree – $1.00
Grove Collaborative/Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Products
Jingle Bells – Dollar Tree – $1.00
Red Chalk Paint – In-house from Dixie Belle
Gold Acrylic Paint – In-house from AC Moore
E6000 – In-house
Glue Gun – In-house
Steps:
- Paint both fan blades with red chalk paint (2 coats)
- Allow to dry between coats
- Glue fan blades together at an angle using E6000
- Allow to dry overnight
- Add the vinyl lettering of your choicea. If you do not have a vinyl cutter, you can use vinyl lettering or a stencil
- Edge the borders of the ceiling fan with the gold acrylic paint
- Using the glue gun, add the greenery and berries or embellishments of your choice
Watch me put it all together in the video above. A fun and almost free project that you can replicate.
Happy Crafting.
