Duck tape ice skates

One last thing to share with you about my outdoor decorations. On black Friday I got a great deal at Home Depot on some really cute Christmas Duck tape.  2 rolls for $3.88!  Came home eager to use it on SOMETHING, when I spied the ice skates I had purchased at a local thrift shop. So I thought I'd give it try.  They turned out so cute!  Afterward I attached them to a swag of fresh pines, and then to my sled.  Makes a cute porch decoration.

  3. This whole entryway is so charming! Love the skates, and what a neat and careful job you did using the duct tape--I never could have managed that. Also am in love with your dog statue wearing the santa hat!

    1. Athena, Yes it did take a little work to get the skate covered just right, but nothing an exacto knife couldn't handle. I love my dog too. If you want to know a secret he used to sit by my fireplace, and then one of the kids broke one of his ears. I couldn't part with him, so he sits on the front porch now, and with a clever disguise no one knows any better:)
