If you’ve followed me for any time at all, you know how much I love ALL THE CHRISTMAS THINGS and Christmas crafting is literally my FAVORITE!! (Are you a member of my FREE year-round Christmas group on Facebook?? If not, join me HERE!) I recently created this peppermint frame with some supplies I had on hand and it turned out even CUTER than I thought it would!!! It was also SOOO fun and easy!!!

Here are the supplies I used:

Whitewashed picture frame from Dollar General (8×10)
Peppermint discs from Hobby Lobby (I used 2 packs!)
Red/white gingham gift bow from Hobby Lobby
Scrapbook paper
Re-Fabbed Hot Glue Gun (Grab yours HERE!!)

I started with this whitewashed wood frame that I’d picked up from Dollar General. I used 8×10, but you can use any size! I loved that the whitewash finish made it READY TO GO with NO painting required!!

Next, I removed the back and took out the plexiglass to use as a template for my scrapbook paper.

I thought this green and white stripe paper would make the PERFECT background for the red and white peppermints!!

Using the plexiglass insert, I traced the shape onto the back of my scrapbook paper.

A quick few snips with my FAVORITE scissors and my background was a perfect fit in the frame!

I grabbed these ADORABLE peppermint discs at Hobby Lobby for half off! I didn’t know what I would use them for at the time, but I KNEW they’d come in handy and I wasn’t wrong!!!! If you LOVE red and white inspo for Christmas, you will also want to check out my red and white dining room HERE!!

I placed them on the frame BEFORE I started hot-gluing to make sure I had my game plan!

Then, I took my handy-dandy glue gun and attached those bad boys to the frame!

Y’all, I cannot even deal with how cute this is ALREADY!!!!

Next, and because every good Christmas tree needs a trunk, I grabbed my jar of buttons! I found some earth-tones that worked like a charm!

A little more hot glue and….

VOILA! Isn’t that a perfect little tree trunk?!? I LOVE using buttons in my crafts!!! HERE is another Christmas craft where I used buttons!!

To finish up, I grabbed this red and white gingham bow that I grabbed at Hobby Lobby. I found it with the wrapping supplies, but I think it makes a PERFECT addition to this project!!

Y’ALL!!!!! How cute did this turn out?!?!? I seriously threw this together with random supplies in my craft stash, which explains why I can NEVER get rid of anything!!!
