You are probably wondering what this post is about. Or maybe I have heat stroke! But no, friends, we are going to celebrate Christmas in July. Every Wednesday throughout July a group of blogger friends and I will be hosting a blog hop. We will be bringing you wonderful ways to make your July Christmas special, and in my case to help with the heat stroke! Today I present Christmas Decor, my repurposed Mirror into Vase Base.
Είναι πιθανόν να αναρωτιέστε τι ειναι αυτή η ανάρτηση; Ή ίσως έχω θερμοπληξία! Αλλά όχι, φίλοι, πρόκειται να γιορτάσουμε τα Χριστούγεννα τον Ιούλιο. Κάθε Τετάρτη όλο τον Ιούλιο μια ομάδα blogger φίλες και εγώ θα φιλοξενούμε ένα blog hop. Θα σας δειχνουμε θαυμάσιους τρόπους για να κάνετε τα Χριστούγεννα τον Ιούλιο ξεχωριστο, και στη δική μου περίπτωση να βοηθήσει με την θερμοπληξία! Σήμερα θα παρουσιάσω χριστουγεννιάτικη διακόσμηση, έναν καθρέφτη επαναπροσδιορισμένο σε βάση για βάζο. 
Now because it is so hot, I needed to do something simple. This is what I found in my stash recently. It was a mirror once upon a time.
Αυτό το βρήκα μεσα στον κρυψώνα μου πρόσφατα. Ήταν ένας καθρέφτης μια φορά κι έναν καιρό. 
I removed the broken glass and painted the pink plastic white.
Έβγαλα το σπασμένο γυαλί και το έβαψα το ροζ πλαστικό λευκό. 
And now the fun begins. I use it as a base/stand - call it what you will. Take a look around your house and add anything at all that looks Christmasy. I have all my Christmas decorations packed away at this time of the year but I was still able to come up with some holiday looks.
Και τώρα ξεκινά η διασκέδαση. Το χρησιμοποιώ ως βάση. Ρίξτε μια ματιά γύρω από το σπίτι σας και προσθέσετε οτιδήποτε που μοιάζει Χριστουγεννιατικο. Έχω όλα τα στολίδια μου κρυμμενα, αλλά ακόμα βρηκα στολίδια για τα Χριστούγεννα. 
You've seen this jar before when I upcycled it with the Snow Spray that Wasn't.
Έχετε δει αυτό το βάζο πριν όταν το μεταμόρφωσα με το σπρέι εδώ. 
And this gold garland had previously been used in my Fall Vignette.
Και αυτή η χρυσή γιρλάντα είχε προηγουμένως χρησιμοποιηθεί στη Φθινοπωρινή μου βινιέτα.

Of course since it is hot outside, I could not resist showing you just how versatile this base is by adding a beachy look to the collection.
Φυσικά, εφόσον κάνει ζέστη έξω, δεν μπορούσα να αντισταθώ να σας δείξω πόσο ευέλικτη ειναι αυτή η βάση, με ένα καλοκαιρινό λουκ. 
Here I've added some dried up pomegranate branches which you have seen here. They add such a Christmasy look.
Εδώ έχω προσθέσει μερικά αποξηραμένα κλαδιά του ροδιού που έχετε ξαναδεί εδώ. Δίνουν. Χριστουγεννιατικο αέρα. 
I do believe this was the easiest repurpose I have ever done. I hope that my Christmas Decor, repurposed mirror into vase base, has put you into the Christmas in July spirit. You can also check out our monthly Handmade for Christmas series, where we make a gift each month so that by December we will have 12 Christmas gifts and not need to scramble around.
Πιστεύω αυτό ήταν η πιο εύκολη επαναπροσδιόριση που έχω κάνει ποτέ. Ελπίζω ότι σας έχει βάλει στο πνεύμα των Χριστουγέννων. Μπορείτε επίσης να ελέγξετε τα Χειροποίητα Δώρα για τα Χριστούγεννα, όπου θα κάνουμε ένα δώρο κάθε μήνα, έτσι ώστε μέχρι τον Δεκέμβριο θα έχουμε 12 δώρα Χριστουγέννων και δεν χρειάζεται να τρέχουμε.

Beverly nothing escapes me in this house. Everything has to be repurposed. Merry Christmas!

I agree Keri it is so neutral that I can put anything on top of it and it will look fine.I think that's why I went with the white. Plus I happened to have it in front of me when I was touching up the metal chairs.

I'll tell you what, I'll give you this base with the cones and you can give me some of your fun Beachy Christmas decorations. This is an easy and fun repurpose Mary and even though it's really hot here and hard for me to get into the Christmas spirit right now, time will fly and we'll be unpacking Christmas decor before we know it! I really like the beachy look you gave it but agree that there are a lot of fun possiblilities for the special season of the year to come!

That's exactly what I was thinking initially Katrin... too hot, no Christmas talk. But once I started on it, it went very fast. This one is like your 5 minute projects. ;)

Mary, What a clever re-purpose that dresses up so beautifully for Christmas or anytime! You never cease to amaze me :) Hopefully all the Christmas cheer will bring cool thoughts your way.

I hope so Laurie. I will think about snow and Santa's reindeer. 7/6/2016 10:51:52 am
Oh girlfriend having winter last a good 7-8 months here in the Canadian Prairies, I just can't do Christmas when finally we have sunshine and warm temperatures. Love your creative use of a broken mirror though!
Mary
7/6/2016 11:45:42 am
In that case I added the beachy project just for you Marie!
Mary

Krista the possibilities are endless. It just depends on what you have at hand. 7/6/2016 01:08:53 pm
Oh, wow! The possibilities are endless! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

Marci this was such a fun project for me. 7/6/2016 01:17:33 pm
So cute and versatile, Mary! Leave it to you to make it changeable for different themes and holidays! I know it's hot but I can do Christmas crafts 365 days a year, lol!
Mary

Gail, I believe you about doing Christmas all year long. lol.
Your 'new' base has so many uses and is quite clever!! And what a fun party, too, this is such a great idea. You know I need MONTHS to get anything done and sharing Christmas ideas now just might give me time to finish up a couple IN time for the holiday! I'll be linking up a couple next week, too. Thanks so much to you ladies for hosting!

We are happy to have you linking up Zenda. I know what you mean about getting motivated to do Christmas early. When my friends first suggested the Gifts back in January I though they were off their rockers but it has turned out to be a good idea. I've already made a few gifts for Christmas. 7/6/2016 05:56:57 pm
How clever and so versatile! I love it with the pine cones and the beachy look! Looks great!
Mary
7/7/2016 02:21:57 am
Those are my favs too. I couldn't resist not adding the beach...lol 7/6/2016 07:24:44 pm
Happy Christmas in July. I love your project and actually the base is great all year. You come up with the best ideas.
Mary
7/7/2016 02:23:20 am
Yes it is good for the whole year that's why I opted to make it white. At least the old mirror didn't get thrown out. 7/6/2016 08:50:06 pm
Wow, so many fabulous looks. You're so good at transforming broken old stuff into beautiful treasurers. The beachy look would go well with Millie's beach ornaments, but I really like the pomegranate - I've got some in my garden =D
Mary
7/7/2016 02:25:03 am
Stella, when I saw Millie's preoject I thought now there is a perfect match...lol Your pomegranates must be almost ready now. We eat ours in November.

Carol that's what I was thinking too. The summer has just begun and all I want is to go swimming at the beach.
Mary
7/7/2016 02:18:00 pm
I would love to Michelle. Popping over right now. 7/7/2016 10:16:45 am
So many beautiful ideas and so little time. Love that you're celebrating Christmas in July
Mary
7/7/2016 02:20:18 pm
What can I say? It probably feels right for you because you have winter. But for me, the beach and Santa do not match. Now that I think about it, you probably have Christmas in the summertime, am I right?
Seriously Mary. You're repurposing skills are amazing. This turned out so pretty and I love that you and your group are thinking ahead to Christmas. It's so hot here at Dallas that I'm quite willing to work on something like this in the afternoons.
Mary

Thank you Stacey. I have lots of heat too, so much that it took me a while to wrap my head around the idea of Christmas in July.
Mary

I just try and think about the snow to stay cool. lol!
Mary

Easy peasy just the way I like them! Thanks for stopping by Melony. 7/11/2016 08:15:24 pm
Great way to recycle and old mirror frame. I wish I had your eye this is so creative! Thanks for sharing
Mary

Thank you Melissa. I have made it a challenge to m yself to reuse or repurpose everything instead of sending it to the garbage pile.

Kellie it was a bit of a stretch to think of Christmas but I am slowly getting into the swing of things. 7/14/2016 02:54:58 pm
LOVE the beach wood... Thanks for linking up at #SustainableSundays
Mary
7/15/2016 01:58:56 pm
I hear ya Danielle. All that picking of the driftwood on the beach is paying off! 7/14/2016 03:13:47 pm
You took repurposing to another level with this one! Thank you for joining us again at Celebrate Your Story and sharing your links.
Mary
7/15/2016 01:59:48 pm
And yet Sandra you saw just how easy it was. Thank you. 7/18/2016 12:28:38 pm
ARG! This year is already moving much too fast for me. And now Christmas! Help! LOL
Mary
7/18/2016 06:14:19 pm
You should see how I feel, I actually have to make these projects. I always see it as a challenge. I try to hum a little Christmas music to get me in the mood. lol 7/25/2016 09:07:35 am
What a fun idea! i loved your creation in all its versions! Especially the summer one haha! I linked my creation of Xmas traditional melomakarona for all the sweet teeth out there!
Mary
7/25/2016 01:35:27 pm
Thanks Katerina. I can always use a good memomakarona recipe. There is nothing as good as our traditional cookies. 11/21/2017 09:52:06 pm
This vase is so versatile! I love it! I especially love it with the pine cones and with the sticks. I'm pinning this!!!
