A Christmas Blog Header Tutorial Complete with Free Christmas Headers

Christmas Blog Headers?? Before Thanksgiving? I know, right?

One thing about getting older is you can remember things like when Thanksgiving wasn't just the day before the start of the Christmas shopping season. So, I realize this post about Christmas blog headers is probably way ahead of the curve.

But I did a little research and I found there are people out there searching for some headers for the holiday season already, so I thought I'd put together a little tutorial so you can make your own, if you are so inclined.

Lets get started.

I know red and gold are pretty standard colors for Christmas and this design might look good in red too. (I'll check it out after I finish writing this.) But, I'm going to go with a blue blend to start my blog header.

I need some snow speckles in the background, so I took a scan of white paint splatter that I flicked onto a black background using an old toothbrush.

I inverted the image and made a photoshop brush of the speckles and randomly painted snow on the background.

That looked pretty cool and I thought that making photoshop brushes of snowflakes might be a cool thing to waste an afternoon playing around with. After several hours and only one or two that I really liked, I set out trying to find some already done.

I found a whole collection of them on webresourcesdepot.com site.

Now its snowing like crazy, so we'd be outside building a snowman right? And of course, since it's Christmas and all, we'd stack presents around him? …What? …We don't do that? I call Artistic License!

And how about a Happy Holidays or something?

Okay, there you go a Christmas Blog Header.

Just so you know, I think Thanksgiving is a way better holiday than Christmas, not the whole pilgrim thing, but remembering to be thankful is something we seem to have lost.
