4 Creative St. Patrick’s Day Holiday Decor Ideas With Vintage Flair

Nothing like another holiday, in order to give you an excuse for vintage holiday decorating.  What is the point of collecting vintage items if you can’t display them and use them for celebrations?  So, just wanted to acknowledge all the St. Patrick’s Day celebration that you see on the internet and other social media.  The other images I have included, provide ideas for displaying your vintage cutlery and tableware that is just lovely.

Here’s a round up of a few pins, I have collected on my “Holiday Decor” board on Pinterest that will spurcreative ideas  for Irish St. Patrick’s Day decor with a vintage feel and using some of the  free vintage postcards that are available on the Internet.

I think it’s the mercury glass and chandelier print on the mantel that I like so much. The sign has just the right touch of crafty diy feel mixed with a few formal decor items.

I really like the shabby chic(or distressed) decor in this next idea, and of course the vintage cutlery, green majolica and tablescape. The original pinner is a self-confessed plate addict.

This next pin includes the actual vintage postcards I found online to create my header image.  Here the pinner is using it to create a cute holiday home decor item.

This next idea, I really like and will probably use it with different holidays.  Just change the vintage cup color to your holiday color theme.

Hope you like these pins and they inspire you to get you celebrating holidays with all your vintage collectibles.

Easy and Inexpensive Party Decor Idea for Your Valentine Get Together

Remember making tissue Pom poms in elementary school or middle school art class?  Well, the following party decor idea video takes these simple projects to  a new level of sophistication.

This is one of the easiest and greatest  party decor ideas I have found on Youtube and it involves step by step instructions for creating great party decor using inexpensive tissue paper and ribbon which you can buy at any Michael’s, JoAnns or other craft store .

I think the crafter in this video gives great ideas on how this simple technique can be varied so you get a variety of tissue pomanders in different sizes and therefore bring more pizzazz into your party decor. And it helps that the whole decor ideas, won’t put a huge dent in your wallet as well.

Of course, as Valentine’s Day is approaching you can use a variation of reds and pinks if you want to go with the traditional color that is associated with this holiday.  But you can be as creative as you want to be.  And the huge benefit, is once you learn this technique, you can vary the colors for whatever holiday or special occasion you are celebrating.
