Pottery Barn Inspired Holiday Sign



I found a super cute extra large sign on the Pottery Barn website. I wanted to create a scaled down version to be a part of my Christmas decor this season. I found a leftover piece of wood in our scrap pile that we seem to have accumulating in our basement. I grabbed some tan and red paint and some paint brushes to get working.
I painted the board red, and then cut out some letters on my Silhouette machine. I placed the letters on the wooden board.
Then went over the entire board and letters with the tan paint.
I wanted the sign to appear rustic and older, so I was not concerned with any bleed through under the letters. I was actually hoping for a little bit actually instead of the paint looking perfect.  Then I rubbed some sand paper over the entire piece to make it look a little more distressed.
Here is the sign from PB that inspired my scaled down version for this project.  I really love the size of it, but obviously not the price tag.

Pottery Barn Knock Off Napkin Rings


I saw these beautiful napkin rings on Pottery Barn's website for $39.50 for a set of four. I also had seen some cardboard roll napkin ring ideas on Pinterest a few times. I thought I would create my own version of these for my holiday table setting.
I purchased some gemstone stickers from Hobby Lobby. Each package was on sale and I used almost two packages of gemstones for each napkin ring.  Each package was $1.50, so that is $3 per napkin ring. I already had the brown paint, and I just used toilet paper rolls that I cut in half.
 I painted the paper rolls, and then cut them into pieces. Then I adhered the sticker rhinestones around the roll after it dried.

 I am very happy with how they turned out. I was able to make four napkin rings for $10 as I did not have to use all of the rhinestones. I think I will make a few more. This year we are having a low key Thanksgiving, so I will not need to many for my table this year.


I made four napkin rings for the price of one of the Pottery Barn's version. I think I may have to make a few more different kinds of cardboard roll napkin rings in the future. It took only about ten minutes to complete.  Thank you for stopping by the blog today.
