DIY Framed Glass Floating Signs

I am all about the minimalist Christmas look (check out my decorated mantel.) Plus I love that you can use these framed glass floating signs all winter season. Start by printing off this free printable saying “All is Calm” and “All is Bright” It’s in PDF format so you just have to click or download. Grab it here:

Next take your picture frame and carefully remove the glass. You can buy any size frame at the dollar store or paint an old frame any colour. Discard the backing.

Place the glass part of your frame on one of the printable phrases and trace the letters using a paint pen or permanent marker. Wait for your marker to full dry on the glass. I bought a marker made for glass at the dollar tree but ended up using a Sharpie instead. The Sharpie is a bit thicker and turned out better in my opinion.

Add a dap of hot glue on the front of each corner of the glass and carefully place the glass back on the frame.

Now just set it on your mantel, bookshelf or any place you want to add a little Christmas cheer.

We finally painted out brick fireplace, check out the before and after here. Since we finished painting close to November I couldn’t wait to decorate it for Christmas. I wanted to keep it simple, minimalist and able to easily transform from Christmas to winter decor. It turned out beautiful!

Minimalist Christmas and Winter Fireplace

To start I got a large evergreen garland and laid it on the mantel. The garland felt a bit lonely so I made my own pearl garland. I also added single pearls onto ornament hooks and attached them to the garland.

Next I wanted a mirror that matched the fireplace insert and could be used year round. I made sure to secure it and used the garland to hide any spots showing.

I found these clear acrylic reindeer at the dollar tree! They cost about a dollar each and I painted them white and put them throughout the mantel. They each needed 3 coats of paint but I think spray painting may have been a bit easier. I feel like these would look amazing with silver or gold paint too.

A good friend suggested that I add a red nose to one of the reindeer and turn him into Rudolph. Of course that turned out amazing and gives just a tiny bit of color to my minimalist Christmas fireplace. To all the people that love cheerful and bright Christmas colors rest assured that I did include that in other parts of the house! The tree is colorful and so is a lot of the other decor.

I found this wire basket at the dollar store and added birch wood pieces that I cut to fit. Since the fireplace is actually a working wood burning one I think the touch of wood was just right.

Of course nothing is more cozy than a blanket (you can never have enough blankets) so that was added into a neutral basket.

This minimalist Christmas fireplace really came together with each piece. Everything cost less than $100 and there’s still enough space to add personal touches. Stockings, a Christmas village or even lights would look great added in.

Minimalist Christmas Ideas

1. Minimize Your Decor

Keep your decor to a minimum. You don’t need to fill every single part of your place with decorations. You can choose a room, or choose a theme. Even better, make your own decor, check out these DIY 10 neutral Christmas decor ideas. This festive garland is made from oranges, a DIY tutorial is coming soon.

2. Spend time with your Family and Friends

Figure out what works best for you and your family. If you always host Christmas dinner consider taking turns with family, or do a pot luck where everyone brings a dish. Spending time together and making memories is always the best part of Christmas for me. You can have cookie exchanges with friends, cook with your family or just go sledding and drink hot chocolate afterwards. For all my introverts out there, say no to parties if you want to relax. Do what feels right and don’t feel like you have to visit people or family if you don’t want to.

3. Gift Ideas- Buy Less!

You can make your own gifts! There are many DIY gift ideas on Pinterest or if you’ve got a skill use it as your gift. If you’re a baker, photographer or artist, people will always appreciate receiving a homemade gift. Our families only give gifts to the children or we draw names and have a spending limit. This way you’re buying only 1 quality and thoughtful gift instead of multiple gifts. Don’t end up with credit card debt buying things you can’t afford and most likely don’t need anyways. Also consider gifting an experience, such as movie passes, zoo passes, subscriptions or concert tickets.

4. Make Your Own Christmas Traditions

Every year for Saint Nicholas Day the kids clean their boots and leave them out near a window overnight so that Saint Nicholas can fill it with candies and treats. This is a European tradition that I have done since I was a kid and have continued with our family. Because we do this we don’t fill stockings at Christmas (those are usually filled with a lot of knick knacks and plastic anyways). We decorate the tree together and the kids each have their own mini trees in their bedroom, and then we write our letters to Santa. You can get your own free Santa letter printable here. Looking forward to doing these traditions each year always bring us joy!

5. Donate or Volunteer

One reason I love minimalism is because it makes you appreciate what you have. I try to be intentional with what we buy and always show gratitude for what we have. Every year we participate in programs that allow us to buy food and gifts for children and families in need. From stuffing a bus with food, donating to food hampers, or the angel tree program that lets you buy a toy for kids, there are lots of ways to help. In Canada, the Salvation Army offers Christmas assistance to families by offering food, toys and clothing for families to put under the tree. Family and Children services usually has a family adoption program that allows you to adopt a family and gift each member something from their wish list. If you’re not able to donate with items you can always help by donating your time.

Every persons ideas of a minimalism Christmas is different. You don’t have to take away everything. Just reduce as much stuff as you can, appreciate what you have, and focus on creating memories for your kids, family and friends. Merry Christmas!
