I’ve been kind of busy with some last minute Christmas ideas and wanted to share a few downloads with you. I decided to go outside and take some close-up photos of our birch trees… I wonder if the neighbors think I’m strange lol. The idea works well with the natural…. use what we have idea for Christmas decor…. Plus, the result beautifies our packages and only cost just a little paper and ink 🙂
I hope you enjoy…. have a Merry Christmas everybody!!
Click Birch Tree if you are interested in using the photo…there are endless possibilities!! Click Here for another crazy photo of our Birch Tree 2 ……
Below are a few examples of what’s been happening in Bargain Hoot’s gift wrap dept…..
I cut and taped the photos together to make a belly band for the package.
I wrapped a few candles…
Plus, cut out a few ornaments and gift tags…
We’re in the home stretch….Just a few more things to buy, a little baking, and some birdseed ornament favors to make!!! For more Christmas decor around our home click here.

I’m stopping over after seeing you mentioned on Tracy’s blog. I just love all of these ideas with the birch wood print outs. They all look really beautiful. I’ve had fun browsing around your blog! 🙂
Thank you SO much for the birch trunk photos. I especially like the peeling bark. I printed one of each of these off and will definitely use them in a craft (don’t know what, yet). This is a super gift from you to those of us who live in birch tree country and know that to peel the bark off trees is to kill the tree!! (Apparently there is a short window of time when peeling the bark will not harm the tree.)
I just printed these out and I’ll let you know! How freakin’ cute is this idea??!!! You’re brilliant Rene!!
Love the birdseed one too, just don’t know if time this wk allows…but i love that one too…..
thx again for amazing ideas….
Rene, thank you for sharing this! I love birch and anything natural looking that I can use around the holidays is always my first pick. Love!
Darling! Thanks for sharing such a smart idea!
Such a wonderful idea! I am giving a shower inspired by a birch trees! This will so come in handy! Thank you for sharing!
Love your blog! Found it through Rene at Cottage and Vine. Thanks for all the good ideas.
Popping back in to say thank you for joining the party. Also, I plan to post this tomorrow along with some other freebies around the blogs. Happy holidays!
