Christmas crafting inspiration!
Today I’m sharing four projects from my Neutral Noel Retreat in a Box. These coordinating decorations bring together warm neutrals, touches of gold, greenery, and rustic twine for a cozy Christmas display. I love how the Neutral Noel Designer Series Paper ties everything together while giving each project its own personality!
A NOEL Banner Full of Christmas Cheer
This NOEL banner is the star of my holiday display! Layered pennants frame each letter, with little houses, greenery, bows, and gold accents adding sweet details. Wooden beads and fluffy cream and green tassels bring so much warmth and texture.
Hang yours across a mantel, along a shelf, or above your crafting space for a cheerful handmade touch.
A Stack of Holiday Giving
These three coordinating boxes look lovely stacked together and tied with a generous twine bow. The patterned lids show off the paper’s beautiful evergreen designs and gold details.
Use them for small gifts or enjoy them as part of your Christmas décor. Here’s my favorite practical detail: the boxes nest inside one another for easy storage!
A Paper Loop Christmas Tree
Layers of patterned paper loops turn into a charming tabletop Christmas tree! Each tier highlights a different coordinating design, creating a lovely mix of evergreen trees, branches, warm browns, and golden patterns.
A rustic bow at the top and trailing strands of twine finish the tree with a relaxed, farmhouse feel. Picture it on an entryway table or tucked into a cozy holiday vignette!
A Rosette Tree with Beautiful Dimension
The rosette tree gives the same paper collection a completely different look. Stacked accordion-folded rosettes create full, textured branches, with each layer adding another pattern and a little holiday sparkle.
Finished with a twine bow, this tree makes a beautiful companion to the paper loop tree. Display them together to show off their different shapes and textures!
