Monster Christmas: Overview

Hi there! Now that the holidays are over, I can finally take a breath and do a few posts about this years’ theme: Monster Christmas!

My husband chose the theme again this year (next year, he doesn’t really get a choice. Ha!), and I didn’t have much time to work on it. I had about a month and a half to make everything and get it up in time. There were a few days I didn’t think it would get done. In the end, I had to give in and remove a few items from the list, like monster nutcrackers and the wreath. I was really sad to see the wreath go, but there just wasn’t time for it.

So here’s a quick reference list of everything I did for the theme:

• Monster tree
• Tentacle ornaments
• Haunted Christmas village
• Devil’s trap (from Supernatural) tree skirt
• Jolly Old Soul tombstone
• “Frankie” and Zombie heads
• Food
  • Gingerbread monsters
  • Fossil snickerdoodles
  • cutout sugar cookies as coffins, beakers and sandy claws

Here’s a quick slideshow of some of the finished items! I’ll do a tutorial for most of the bulleted items above.

I’d love to see what you did this year. Share a picture in the comments 🙂

Happy Crafting,
