DIY bark tree ornaments/gift tags
Make these super cute, super easy birch bark tree Christmas ornaments in seconds.
This year I'm going for a natural, rustic feel with a modern twist for my Christmas decor and these super cute, super easy bark tree ornaments are one of my favourites this year!
Supplies:
Dining Room Gallery Wall
No need for expensive mats to frame your photos! Find out what I used to make these frame pictures for my dining room!
When we were designing the house I knew that I wanted to have some large frames in the dining room. We don’t have lots of wall space in the main living area and wanted the frames to really pop! For frames I always turn to Ikea as they have the most economical options. I sourced out these Knoppang 24” x 36” black frames. I ordered 3 as they would be the perfect size for the dining room wall.
I knew that I wanted to frame some family pictures from our trip to Mexico in 2019 and because of the orientation of the pictures I knew I wanted to print them at a 12”x18”. I got them printed at Poster Jack which was so easy to upload, edit and order. I was also SHOCKED when they arrived to my rural town the very next day!!!! The quality was amazing and I loved that I was able to turn my photos to black and white right there as I ordered!

The Ikea frames came with a mat but it wasn’t the correct size. I didn’t want to spend a lot as custom mats can be very pricey. I wanted some form of Bristol board or foam board but they were not big enough. Then I came across Elmer’s presentation boards made of foam core. They were 36” tall by 48” wide with two folding side panels. I measured (am I the only one who shops with a measuring tape?? :) the inside panel and it was PERFECT!!! They were very inexpensive (I believe under $5 each). I cut the sides off with an exacto knife and then using double sided tape, mounted my photos onto the foam board.

Elmer’s 36”x48” presentation board (can be found here)
Double sided tape (I love Dollarama’s tape)
I then put them into the frames and hung them on the wall. Such an easy, inexpensive DIY with a huge impact!
