Holiday Decorating!

It's beginning of December and time to decorate for the winter holidays.  My decorations are a mix of Snowmen and Santa, but of course nothing is complete without reindeer.  If it weren't for the reindeer, Santa couldn't bring the toys!  SisBoom/Scientific Seamstress has released a FREE Rachel Reindeer pattern for your decorating pleasure.

A huge Welcome to Brianne showing us some ideas for fun holiday decorating! Leave her some holiday love in the comments section !

   

 There are so many ways to use Rachel Reindeer in your holiday decorating.

1. Wreath
2. On your tree, if you have one
3. String several together to make a reindeer garland
4. Sew up 9 and harness them to a sleigh

I made 3 little Rachels.  Their first stop was my mantel.  Combined with beads, a little tree that was handmade by my Italian friend, and a Germany advent calendar, I call it my European fireplace.

The fabric is a holiday cotton from Joann's last year.

Second stop, the reindeer landed on the living room side table with a more modern flair of decoration.  Fear not, you can find the same items in the $1 bins at Target!  The Rachels were quite comfortable here, honestly.  I rather liked it too, but there was one more place for them to go.

  

 Third and final stop, each Rachel got a place with her own bow on the staircase.  This immediately became my favorite and where they have stayed.  They deserve to be front and center.
