Cute!! I saw white ones at Winners this year too if anyone is feeling too lazy for spraypaint. Love the gold tho!
Brilliant Michelle! Why didn’t I think about that. I passed by three at Goodwill yesterday.
Great idea to keep Christmas decor classy! I’m on my way to DI now!

Did you de-beard?? If so, how, if you don’t mind sharing. I love them! Classy!
Hi Lindsee,
Yes, I de-bearded. I just ripped the fur right off the hat and beard. Then I lightly sanded off the glue. Took maybe 5 minutes.
Thanks!
