- Would you love a vintage Christmas tree but you don’t own any actual vintage ornaments? I’m going to show you how to achieve the look by shopping at Hobby Lobby and Walmart.
Good afternoon Becky i was born in Greece a small island up North i rememder my father cutting a olive brunch and nail tp to the wall and me and my sister's use to decorate with chocolate and lollies and coton wool as snow. Beautiful memories....Now i am in Melbourne Australian for the past 51 years
That’s amazing. I love that! Thank you for sharing your beautiful traditions with us.
I love 90% of what you showed! I grew up in the late 50's early 60's.....love it all!!!!!!!❤
These will be vintage ornaments your daughters will want some day. What fun these crafts are. The pipe cleaner people are my favorite. Thanks for sharing.
I love the little pipe cleaner people. SO CUTE!!!!
Hi Becky,
This was definitely a bit of a walk down "memory lane" for me. Growing up, we would save our Christmas cards from year to year and use these to do crafts. One I remember was making gift tags.
We would cut the design out with pinking shears and add a bit of curling ribbon through a hole made with a hole punch! The ladies in my mom's church group would sell these, maybe 10 for 25 cents, during coffee hour. 🎄
That’s so interesting, when o made the craft I didn’t even think about crafting with Christmas cards but that is exactly what they look like. Happy accident.
June 2024 Hi I looked you up again....This is one of my most favorites! Making Christmas Decor
Love them all. Bet you could find/save Christmas cards and use them this way, even vintage style wrapping paper. So glad I found you.
Yes, I’m going to be on the lookout for vintage Christmas cards from now on.
Aluminum tree with the color wheel….oh memories of childhood!
The most cutest ornaments, ever.
Haha. In the early sixties, my parents bought a silver tinsel Christmas tree it was either six or seven feet tall and had a color wheel. My father was so brought of that tree it was their first artificial Christmas tree. He wouldn’t let us add the Christmas ornaments to the tree because he thought it would detract from its beauty.
That’s amazing ! What a great memory! I bet it was glorious!
Grew up cutting live trees, decorating with lights, shiny bright ornaments and tons of icicles. Was in my 50's before artificial tree and it was an alpine. Now I have a sparse twig tree. Live the homemade ornaments.
I liked the ornaments you showed. Hoping to get a tinsel tree.
My grandmother had the silver tree, wish I had it. The vintage ornaments are popping up everywhere. Oh how it takes us back! I love them.
Don’t you wish we knew then the value of what we didn’t think twice about back then. I didn’t have a silver tree from my childhood but what I wouldn’t give to get my hands on my mothers ceramic tree.
Loved the whole video! Especially those pics of the women with the vintage trees! Made me so happy! Cute diy too.
Thanks so much Kim!
Great vintage inspired ornaments. The pipe cleaner ornaments are amazing
Love these. You can also a cupcake liner folded in half to use as a skirt for the lovely ladies.
See! This is why I need to make more. Genius!
So precious! I am a baby boomer so love everything vintage Christmas. Just found your channel and I know I will love it!
Welcome Kathy!
All ornaments you showed in stores definitely had a vintage look. I remember all of them from my childhood. We even had that silver tree with the light! 😂
I love those silver trees. They come with quite a price tag now if you come across one but they are so beautiful. Maybe one day I will find one that doesn’t cost a small fortune.
We always had love trees - almost everyone did. I do remember seeing those silver tinsel trees in the hardware store window and couldn’t figure out why anyone would want one. 😊 A couple of years ago, I bought my grandkids mini tinsel trees and this year, I bought myself a pretty Champaign gold tree from Target (all small trees). So it goes to show you that you never know what you’ll do eventually. I wish I could show you the Santa Claus ornaments we had when I was a kid. You’d probably love them. The Santa Clauses are in these little 60s kind of acrylic boxes. We actually made popcorn garlands and paper chains. If you are talking about the 60s, then no - Hobby Lobby’s interpretation is wrong. Most of my fiends out tinsel (as in you had to carefully hang it one strand at a time) on their trees. We did a few years. Fun video!
Thank you so much Rozanne! Such sweet memories.
Thank you for the walk down memory lane. My parents bought a silver tinsel tree in 1954, it was used every year until 1986/7 . look for thin strands of coloured tinsel, cherubs , santa’s snowmen, deer and loads of bells. These are the ornaments i remember fondly.
I saw one of those tinsel trees this week and would so love to have it. It even came with the color wheel. I think must have been so magical to look at as a small child on Christmas
Hi sweet friend, Your handmade ornaments are so adorable they look like what you see in the antique shop's. I appreciate these early videos, I don't like last minute when everything is gone. Love the green ribbon it gives me 70s vibes.
Thank you Beth! I am looking forward to sharing all my Christmas with you very soon.
I love you DIY s especially the ones with the pipe cleaner bodies. So cute!
Thank you Vickie. ❤️
I Love all of these vintage dupes .. so cute .. I adore the vintage deer .. Thank You for sharing 🎄
For a couple of years in the early 60’s, we had an aluminum tree with a color wheel. But a vintage Christmas tree to me is what we had when I was growing up in the 1950’s. It was a real tree and it was decorated with Shiny Bright ornaments, bubble lights and lots of silver tinsel that had to be placed on the tree one strand at a time! I guess “vintage” has a different connotation for us older folks! But yours is beautiful and your faux vintage ornaments look great.
Thank you Leslie. I had a tree like you are describing, I remember those icicles hanging everywhere and they were glorious. I think when I picture “vintage” in my mi d I have a mixture of he 50’s through the 80’s. I need to stick to one era right. Lol! I just love all of it.
Love vintage/ reto Christmas
I like anything vintage or vintage inspired. Your silver picks would look good in the black tree you have. Ornaments turned out great!
Thank you Jennifer, I think o may have to move those picks over with my Halloween decor, you’re right they would definitely look better with the black tree.
@@MyLittleVintageHome try decorating your black tree for Christmas too! That's what I do with my Halloween tree, I just pack away Halloween ornaments and decorate the black one for Christmas. I don't do vintage on it, I make a theme of Winter night, with white owls and stars, moons, etc. It's so pretty. You'll read about this again in the comment I made above, LOL.
Loved these!!! And love your energy!!❤
Oh and forgot to mention those georgious vintage looking reindeer. Looooovvvvvee them
Oh my goodness so stinking cute! 🎄 I just love Vintage Christmas! We decorate mostly vintage! I have a Felt elf tree I do! My mother-in-law got two felt elf’s in washing powders in the 50’s. We inherited them so I started collecting them! There the knee hugger Elves! So Cute!🎄🥰
The knee huggers are the cutest! I only have one but I cherish it.
Stop worrying your videos are Not to Long! I really enjoy your channel and also love your all your decor!
Thank you Jennie! 😘😘
I really enjoy your videos. I’m 65, in 17 days, and I just had to tell you how wonderful it is for me to see someone youthful enjoying vintage ornaments! I live in an area that feels like a desert as far as finding anyone who also enjoys these gaudy, tacky, amazing ornaments like I do. You’re like a breath of vintage air! Thanks for your joy and sharing your crafty ideas! 🎄❤️
You are so sweet Dawnlyne and I wish you the happiest of Birthdays! I do love all the gaudy things. I think I just rely so much on nostalgia because I miss my parents so much. All these things remind me of a much simplier time.
Hello Becky. Im new to your channel found you looking for vintage christmas ornaments or decor! love all of them. It just brings back so many wonderful fun memories! we didn't have much but the decorations and ornaments are just stunning! godbless and ill be waiting to see what you come up with next!! xoxoxo.
Hi Lou! Welcome to the family! I have another video out tomorrow with more vi rage ornaments that I made and hopefully over the next couple of weeks I’ll get them all on the tree for you to see. I hope you enjoy the channel and all the contents that I have. God Bless!
Love all the vintage finds . Ornaments turned out great
I missed it. Thanks for posting it! You do such creative crafts!
Dollor general really does rock. I love all the elves and woodland things. Everything you found really does look vintage.
I have realn50s and 60s vintage on my tree of over 300 ornaments .
A friend gave me German blow glass balls from 1920.
I love all vintage like you! So fun
That’s awesome Kathleen. I bet your tree is stunning.
I don’t have a memory of vintage Christmas to fall back on to recreate a vintage look tree. I must count on amazing content creators like you to help me see and realize it! I have always loved the vintage look as my vintage glass and household pieces attest, but no memory of them being in my life growing up. Or very little of that look anyway. And no, the decorations you showed were not ugly, just what I am recognizing as vintage! The Victorian look faces on the bumpy pipe cleaners scream vintage and also fall into my memories of my childhood Christmas. You matched them perfectly! This video is so much fun! Thank you Becky! 💛🎄🎃💛
Thank you Jen! You are the sweetest!
Great video definitely enjoyed it the craft part was awesome😊
Thank you Susan!
This video made me so happy!!! I love vintage Christmas, it's how I decorate every year. I buy lots of vintage ornaments from thrift shops, people give away the best stuff, lol! I can't wait to get the supplies at Hobby Lobby and make these ornaments, they'll be so nice to add to my collection, I love reproduction vintage pieces just as much as the real thing. I have a 6 foot silver tree, a 6 foot black tree (I use it at Halloween and then decorate for Christmas in a Winter night moon/owl theme) and then new for this year I have a 7 foot hot pink tree!! My 6 foot green one broke so I'll be buying a new one in green too, lol, as you can see I have at least 3 and sometimes 4 trees to decorate. I feel the same way as you do, I'm still in Halloween mode but I'm looking forward to Christmas so much! And if you don't grab things early for Christmas, same as for Halloween, it'll be gone. Love your ornaments and I can't wait to start making them!
Thank you so much! I have another video coming out Thursday with a few more diy ornaments. I’m anxious to see if people like them as much as the others. They are a lot more elaborate. I hope you have a blast decorating all your beautiful trees. If I had a bigger house I would probably have a dozen myself.
Those ornaments are so cute, and they really do look vintage. I decorate one of my trees with vintage and antique ornaments. I don't have a tinsel tree, but I use a white flocked tree. It still looks beautiful. TFS your diy! I really want to make some of the pipe cleaner ornaments. 🎄🦌🎅⛄ Becky, I found the Johanna Parker mugs and salt and pepper shakers at Ross too!😊
Yay! I hope you do try to make those ornaments. I really did enjoy making them. I think you will too. Just let your imagination go wild.
Yes, those ornaments remind me of my childhood. Great job! Looking forward to more! 🎅🌲
OMG you hit a home run on this I wish I had seen you earlier I have been making ornaments for an up coming sale ...you made the most cutest ornaments wow...new to your channel ...I'm a vintage lover ...I have a few vintage items ...I use... but now I am making some of yours..Thank you for this video..
Oh I hope you do! I made some more for next weeks video. They are a lot more extravagant than these but still vintage inspired. I’m hoping they go over well with everyone. I’m a little nervous. 😬
Love everything you made and gathered together!!!
Cute ideas and budget friendly, thank you for sharing.
Becky, I enjoyed your video and your help with ideas on how to make ornaments. Loved this! Thank you!
Thank you so much Joanna!❤️
So cute! The paper ornaments remind me of ones we had that were made from Christmas cards ❤
Yes! That, I have to admit, was a happy accident. I didn’t realize until later that they were like to card crafts. 🙃
P.s. your paper crafts are the cutest!! I am a lover of all things paper, Journaling, collage, scrap booking etc
Thank you Kathleen, I’m always drawn to paper crafts first before anything else. I think it’s all the beautiful patterns of paper.
You are soooo creative, Becky! Your ornaments are my fave!!!
Thank you so much Justine.
Everything turn out so cute. 🎄
I love those, they are too cute. I’ll be making some of those. Thank you for the inspiration. 😊
Just adorable and doable. Thank you for sharing. I had a thought for your early dilemna about the first craft paper round that didn't go... you could add it to the back for just an extra touch when the ornaments shift slightly on the tree and the back is some what visible.
Thank you Kathryn. I love that idea! Why didn’t I ever think of that?
Wow you really did good job pointing out reproduction retro pcs. Love all the ornaments and those houses really do look like the putz houses and the other ornaments look so vintage, Love everything!
Thank you so much! I had a great time making this video and my ornaments are so cute on my tree.
@@MyLittleVintageHome Did you show your tree yet?
CUTE ideas - thanks for sharing!
Love the vintage ornaments! I have a vintage Christmas tree. Great DYI ORNAMENTS. Thanks for sharing.🎅🏻
Just so beautiful and classic! 🎄
Becky I have a silver vintage Christmas tree my husband's parents had and I found some vintage ornaments one time at a thrift store ones like my family gad when I was a little girl and I love them . Can't wait to see your vintage tree when it's complete .
Oh wow Kathy what a treasure! I bet it’s stunning all decorated. I hope my little tree doesn’t disappoint.
Excellent ideas and video. Thank you!!!
Just found you today & I’m binge watching all your Christmas videos!! Love all your crafting ideas!

Your ornaments you made are adorable . You're so talented with your crafts .
Thank you so much Kathy!
Very cute!🎄🤗🎄🤗
These are just so cute.🥰🥰
Thank you so much!❤️
If you use the two sided sticky foam pads ( from dollar tree) in between your circles to raise your layers….you may like it much better!
I still use my silver tree. We had one as kids. I use vintage ornaments on it.
So jealous! I saw one on Marketplace near me for 400 dollars. I had to close my eyes and walk away.
Hi Becky 😊 Enjoyed the video today ❤️ You're so creative, the DIY'S were so cute ❤️
Thank you so much Emilia❤️❤️
We made these from your video - LOVE them!
Oh wow! I wish TH-cam had a place to put pictures. I’d love to see them. Did you have a good time making them?
You did a great job. Looking forward to seeing your christmas videos.🎄
Love the vintage ornaments and I love the last DIYs you did with the pipe cleaners. I remember we had a white tree in our living room with a color wheel! Looking forward to your Christmas videos.😊❤😊🎄🎁
I want an aluminum tree from the 50's! With a color wheel! They cost hundreds of dollars, so I don't think I'll ever get one. I love vintage look ornaments! Great ideas, Becky! These ornaments ate gorgeous!!!
My grandparents had one and it was so cool
You have really inspired me to start gathering my vintage ornaments and trimmings! You are so fun to watch. Thank you!!
Thank you so much Joan! I hope you have a good time decorating.
Oh, I love all those. In fact I have already bought a few to add in with my vintage pieces!!!! ❤️ your videos & you!!!! Such a joy to watch!!!!
Thank you so much Judy! I bet your tree is stunning.
Becky…I loved this video ❤ I am definitely on my way to Hobby Lobby so I can make the pipe cleaner people. They are just darling! I love, love, love them! I’ve seen them in different places, but didn’t know How to do them.😄 Thanks for showing us! I’m going to make some for a special sale we have for missions every November…I know everyone will love them❣️also…I can see how these would definitely be addicting!
So addictive, I want to make more because I keep seeing them on Pinterest with ideas I didn’t think of. I may end up with a tree full of them.
I love vintage and vintage inspired Christmas decor. My grandma had a silver tree with the light wheel! I want to make some of the ornaments. Your's turned out so cute.
Thanks Julie! I bet you wish you still had that tree. What a treasure.
we looooveee them alll omgoodness
Thank you so much SC
Becky, can you say, ALUMIUM? I loved your crafted ornaments.
No, but I can say teeen foouil. Lol! 🥰
When I was growing up, my parents and grandparents had silver or white trees. Our silver tree had a stand that rotated the tree. We had a stationary light on the floor. Our ornaments were colorful glass balls. One of my grandma's had glass balls, birds and little pinwheels that we blew on as the tree circled around. I still have some of my parents glass balls. Each Christmas I display them in a jar to keep them safe. Thank you for bringing back these sweet memories.
That’s amazing. What a beautiful memory and precious treasures you still have.
Love the vintage pipe cleaner ornaments. Could you post the link for the pictures you used to make them…thanks so much Carol
Yes ma’am.

Thank you so much!!
I love it! You are so inspiring! I can't wait to get started on mine! Thank you!
Thank you so much Cari!
I love vintage
My favorite video ever!!!
Oh yay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
The ornaments you made are darling! I was wondering if Johanna Parker had Christmas! I literally picked up the only Halloween (sugar and creamer) that I saw at Marshall’s. I’ll have to make the 30 minute drive to the nearest Ross. They seem cheaper than Home Goods and Marshall’s.
They are a little cheaper but not by much. The difference is you can buy them individual and not in a set of two. They are 7.99 each at Ross and I believe around 18 or 19.99 for a set of two. Ross has definitely gotten more expensive than they have been in years past. I remember when those Johana Parker mugs were only 3.99 each a couple years ago.
i completely understand vintage is not beautiful it is what it is right??? I grew up in the 60s so i know... i had my mom's vintage ornaments but over the years they all broke, i should have been more careful :( ...I have bought a few boxes of vintage ornaments on ebay, but i love your printouts and they work wonderfully...nothing brings back memories and that old familiar nostalgic feeling!! I remember the color wheel on the silver trees and the paper silver icicles lol...i used to get so excited when mama would let me put those on the tree, always a real tree not many folks had fake ones back then...i have a ceramic santa from the 60s its a bank that i love. I also have a great photo of me on santas lap in 61...i love your video keep them coming!!! God bless
If you are like me those few and precious things that actually survived my family are my most coveted possessions.Not many things made it but the few things that did I guard with my life.
Sooo cute❤
So cute
Since you have a white tree you can spray paint the atomic Silver ornaments red or pink or any other color
I could!!! maybe I’ll try that next year. I didn’t even think about it.
I am doing a vintage tree this year.
So cool! I love my little vintage tree. It makes me so happy. I know yours will too.
love it
Thank you Laura!
Great job! Can you post the link for the faces, please??
Hey Becky! I’m just learning about Johanna Parker and I found those cute Santa salt and pepper shakers today. I decided to run jute twine down through the holes and tied it off to make a hanger to hang them on my tree. I’m making a small vintage tree this year with some of my mom’s ornaments that was passed down to me. Do you know if Johanna Parker does Christmas ornaments too?
That is so clever! I love that idea. I haven’t seen any ornaments from her but your idea is genius to make some.
Hi Pam, I wanted to let you know that I found Johanna Parker ornaments at Marshall’s today. Two in a pack for 9.99 a pack.
@@MyLittleVintageHome oh boy! Thanks so much for letting me know and I will definitely be in the lookout. The Santa ornaments I made from the salt and pepper shakers turned out so cute and I can’t wait to see them on the tree.
@@pamwalters6558 it’s going to be beautiful I just know it.
🎄👋👍😊
