Many years ago, my father made the sleigh, my mother decorated it. Over the years, it got worn. Since I still have 2 others, I’ve revived this one with a total makeover. The sleigh is painted metallic champagne and forest green. I applied gold holly berry leaves and painted red berries. “NOEL” and a hanging present decorate one side, gold holly leaves and berries decorate the other side. A 3D manger scene is on the back. It’s full of gold touched pine cones, artificial greenery, berries and poinsettas. The outside of the sleigh, as well as the artwork decoupaged on it and 3D manger scene, are coated with decorator’s varnish. This darling centerpiece will last many more years.
The sleigh measures 9″ in length, 4 1/2″ in width.
