This no-fuss festive tree is made out of pallet wood and painted in Resene Scandi. We recycled old tins and disposable coffee cups and painted them in Resene Spark, Resene Trouble and Resene Scandi. They make great storage for mini Christmas treats or even to replace an advent calendar. See the project.

Turn a shelf or mantlepiece into a Christmas diorama, with these DIY cork trees. They're painted in Resene Scandi, Resene Frozen, Resene Escape and Resene Wishing Well. 

These festive placemats are made out of cork mats reshaped into symbols of the season. Give it a go yourself... think stars, bells, baubles, snowmen, mistletoe, etc. The placemats are painted in Resene Spark and Resene Scandi. If you want to get really fancy, you could also make your own charger plates. 

How about these sparkly salad servers? Mask off the handles, and paint in Resene Essence, Resene Mozart and Resene Gold Dust.

We love how this serving tray comes alive with painted stripes in Resene Full Monty, Resene Mozart and Resene Gold Dust.

And what's a Christmas table without the addition of beautiful summer flowers? Plant them using old jam jars as vases, painted in Resene Essence and dotted with Resene Gold Dust.
