Crate DIY Holiday :: Gold & Silver Portrait Wall Gallery

If you're limited on space for holiday decor, today's DIY wall decor assembly from CP Gal, Jina Jean, just might be the perfect solution for you! Even if you're no longer in the market for holiday decorating, we still think this is a great idea. Read on and consider trying.

This year, I decided to skip the BIG Christmas Tree and went instead with an assortment of beautiful holiday decorations in and around my studio. Even though I hadn't the space for a traditional tree, I didn't want to lose out on that Christmas mood we all seem to love this time of year.

My decoration-of-choice was a festive arrangement of Christmas-friendly frames. 

 Here is a peek at my studio wall prior to the season's start. Last Summer, I chose to fill a collection of various sized frames with Crate Paper's prior patterned paper releases; Boy's Rule, Open Road, Style Board and Portrait.

Many of Crate Paper's beautiful patterned papers look great on their own–and work fabulously when framed individually. This particular set-up was in need of a seasonal update.

First, I chose a gorgeous deer head image to incite the feeling of 'winter'. I cut the image from a black & white striped patterned paper {Boys Rule} using my Silhouette Machine.

I designed a fancy head dress from Open Book's floral die-cuts and a resin flower from Flea Market.

I mounted the deer on white cardstock and framed it!

For my next frame, I used a gold glittered foam phrase from Open Book. I positioned it directly on top the glass and backed it with gold glitter striped paper.

 I did the exact same thing with a third frame, though opted for a heart as the background.

Finally, I echoed the same feel and look with the remainder of the frames and hung them up on my wall in my studio as shown. I decorated the area even further with tinsel-like gold/silver tassels.

I love the end result–my home is officially ready for Christmas!
