Is it just me or is there something about having the Christmas tree up that just puts you in that holiday mood? Seriously, the first thing I want to do when I wake up is plug in the tree, is that weird? Well today I got another stray holiday hair and decided on a whim to make some holiday art to hang in our living room. I am trying to keep the Christmas decorations simple this year because what goes up my friends must come down. And let’s face it, taking decorations down isn’t nearly as fun as putting them up. With my simple motto in mind and spending ZERO dollars, I came up with this easy printable which I framed and hung in between the windows in our living room. It adds just the right amount of Christmas cheer! Now, let me show you how to make your own in 8 easy steps!A cozy gray couch with two red pillows and a cream patterned pillow is in front of a window with white blinds. Above the couch, two framed signs hang vertically, reading "Merry" and "Christmas".

Step 2 – Check your email and confirm your subscription. Download and print your free printable from the link I sent you. I printed mine on plain white paper.Two sheets of paper on a white background. The top sheet says "Merry" and the bottom sheet says "Christmas," each in black script with small star decorations.

Step 3 – Use a gold sharpie to color the stars on the printable. I made the stars gold on the free printable, but we are out of colored ink so I used the gold Sharpie I already had to make mine gold and metallic 😉 I told you, I spent $0 making this.A gold Sharpie marker lies on a piece of paper with the word "Merry" written in large, black cursive letters. Two decorative star-like symbols are placed above and below the text. A sheet of white paper with the word "Merry" written in black script. A gold star symbol is drawn next to it. A gold Sharpie marker rests on the paper. The image has a faint watermark in the bottom left corner. The image features the word "Merry" written in elegant black script with two gold asterisk-like stars on either side, set against a plain white background. A white sheet of paper with the word "Christmas" written in black cursive font. Two small star-like designs are placed around the text, one gold and one black. The image shows a sheet of paper with the word "Christmas" written in elegant black script. Two gold asterisks are placed above and below the word. The paper is on a plain white background.

Step 4 – Trim the edges to fit the frame. I only had to trim a little off each edge. I used two 8×10 frames (without mattes) I had lying around in the basement from our old bathroom decor. One of the few advantages to being a decor hoarder 😉 If you don’t have a stack of unused frames in your basement (although I can’t see why you wouldn’t 😉 ) these are similar. A black picture frame, face down, sits next to a pair of white-handled scissors and a piece of paper with the word "Merry" in black script and gold stars.

Step 5 – Insert “Merry” printable into frame. Repeat with “Christmas” printable.A framed sign with the word "Merry" in black script, accented by two gold stars. The frame is resting on a windowsill with blinds partially visible in the background.Two framed signs on a windowsill with the words "Merry Christmas" in elegant black script. Each frame has decorative stars around the text.

Step 6 – Hang those beauties on the wall. I hung mine on the wall as a vertical duo, but they could also be displayed horizontally or table top if you prefer. A gray couch with two red pillows and a patterned beige pillow sits in front of two large windows with white blinds. Above the couch, a small framed sign reads "Merry," while another sign on the couch reads "Christmas. A gray sofa with a beige pillow and two magenta pillows is in front of a window. Two framed signs are centered on the wall above, stacked vertically, reading "Merry" and "Christmas." Dark curtains frame the window.

Step 7 – Measure the distance between the two frames and remove them from the wall. Then cut a piece of ribbon 1 1/2 inches longer than the distance and attach it to the back of the frames with duct tape. I used gold sparkly ribbon I had left over from my Faux Fur Christmas Wreath, but you could use any color really. I would have gone with this one if I didn’t already have some. A measuring tape is stretched out on a white surface next to a roll of textured ribbon and a pair of scissors with beige handles. The ribbon is partially unrolled and cut. An open black velvet jewelry box with a cream-colored ribbon inside is positioned on a white surface. Surrounding it are scissors, black duct tape, and a yellow tape measure.

Step 8 – Carefully re-hang the frames on the wall. The ribbon is purely decorative and does not hold the weight so I hung the bottom frame first so it didn’t come loose. And then you are done!Framed "Merry Christmas" signs hang on a bright white wall above a gray sofa with pink and brown cushions. The decorations add a festive touch to the cozy living room setting.
