Brit + Co founder Brit Morin dropped by to show us how to DIY some trendy holiday decor, and before she left, she showed us one old-school beauty, as inspired by A Beautiful Mess: a vintage car and Christmas tree marquee!
RELATED: The Exact Science Behind Decorating the Perfect Christmas Tree
Here's what you need:
Plywood
Jigsaw
Paint (Brit used red for the car, though you can do any color, plus green, white and black)
Drill
Duct Tape
Christmas lights
As Brit demonstrated, with your cut, painted plywood (which you can pick up at your local hardware store), take the drill to the tree portion of the piece and create little holes. Then, take the Christmas lights and poke them through the holes (Lite-Brite-style!), which will light up the whole piece like a marquee!

ALL the retro goodness! Don't you just want to grab a cup of hot cocoa and look at it all day?
Plus, watch Brit teach us how to make ornament stirrers and tinsel letter garland!
