My Top 3 Favorite Products of 2011

The theme going around the blogs seems to be favorite posts, favorite projects etc...so going along with that idea I thought I would share with you my 3 favorite products of 2011 and a few photos of projects I did with them...

#1 - Gloss white spray paint
[The reindeer was orignally bright gold and now is a crisp, bright white]

[Harry and I painted a ton of ornaments for our advent calendar.  This is one of them that used to be gold also]




[And the NOEL stocking holder that also used to be gold is now a crisp, bright white]

#2 - Burlap fabric
[Stockings made out of burlap and silk/quilted fabric with grosgrain ribbon and buttons that can be changed out]

[On the Christmas tree as bows and even the tree topper which you can see more of here]
[An accent pillow I made out of burlap was given a couple ruffles of jersey material and a grosgrain bow]

#3 - Decorative edger (by EK)

[Each chair in the dining room got a cardstock cone filled with boxwood clippings from my back yard, and a tag finished with the edger and reindeer names.  I also made all the gift tags like this but forgot to take pics before they were all opened!]

[Love the banner that I made from a Jennifer Rizzo.com tutorial you can find here]
I already have ideas for these and some other fun products for 2012 and will share along the way!

  1. Jen,
    Your projects are so wonderful and creative! It makes me want to buy some spraypaint and go to town! Do you have a spraypaint gun? I love mine, it really saves on my finger wear and tear!
    Wish you lived closer so we could do projects together!
